Listed below are links that will help you, in a variety of ways, with writing RapidQ source code.
They are "not" in any particular order.
If you have a link that you think would be an excellent addition to this webpage... please click the [Contact] button and send me an email. | |

Description: This group (or forum, if you prefer) is located on Yahoo. Which means... you'll need to create a Yahoo profile to join the group (if you don't already have a profile). I would have to say that it's the central point for all RapidQ discussions. There's quite a few members here that are, in my opinion, experts. If you encounter any kind of coding problem... this is the best place to ask for help. If you need to download a copy of RapidQ... join the group and you can download it from the Files section (be sure to download the latest version of the Libraries). You'll also find a "vast" assortment of coding examples in the Files section too. And most importantly... you'll find that the members are keeping RapidQ "very much" alive and well. | |

Description: This website, I believe, was originally created by William Yu, but is no longer maintained by him. On this website you'll find numerous examples, documentation, downloads, IDE's, and links. I could be wrong but I think the site is now maintained by Stanescu Serban and Andrew Shelkovenko (if I'm incorrect about this... please let me know so I can update this webpage). Note: several links are dead and some code is outdated. Also Note: Due to William Yu's commitment to RealBasic... you should not contact him, in regards to RapidQ. | |

Description: I'm not sure who originally created this website, but it is not maintained by William Yu. It's a copy of the original www.basicguru.com/rapidq/ (which no longer exists and I'm best guessing this was created as a back-up copy). Anyways... on this website you'll find numerous examples, lots of documentation (including original documentation), downloads, FAQs, and links (including William Yu's final farewell). Once Again Note: Due to William Yu's commitment to RealBasic... you should not contact him, in regards to RapidQ. | |

Description: This website is not "always" up and running. And when it is... it may take awhile to load into your web-browser. Just be patient. It has lots of examples, links, and a discussion forum. Also... depending on which web-browser you're using... some text will be a combination of English and Chinese, or just English. But don't worry. It's readable and easy to navigate. Note: several links are dead and some code is outdated. | |

Description: Jacques is one of those experts I was talking about above. He has several examples for downloading. Some of which demonstrate more advanced coding techniques. I owe a personal debt of gratitude to Jacques for the ManyCallBacks code, which I make use of... in my own IDE for RapidQ. (see link below). | |
|
Description: Andrew is yet another one of those experts I was talking about. On his website you'll find several programs he created with and for RapidQ. Such as... a text Search And Replace application, a RapidQ Debugger, and a HTML editor. I owe Andrew a debt of gratitude too. He has helped me with several coding problems I've had in the past. | |

Description: John is an expert too (in case you haven't already guessed). On his "new" website you'll find a link to the most recent copy of the RapidQ2 file in the Download section. You'll also find documentations, FAQs, FreeBasic and Direct3D Tutorials, Links, and some Advanced programming samples. Many RapidQ users make use of the "inc" files included within the RapidQ2 file. It's basic premises is to make coding alot easier because you don't have to... add "Declare" statements for specific API functions and/or add "Const" statements (for those API functions) to your coding. It has many other features that you'll just have to explore on your own. | |

Description: Paul L. (aka Snakedile) is the LIB and RC guru! On his website you'll find a link to the most recently re-engineered RapidQ Libraries (*.lib) and DLL files. You'll also find a tutorial on how to embed High Resolution icons and a Manifest within your RapidQ executable. And there's a demo on how to use Irfanview, with RapidQ, as an invisible image manipulator. | |
|
Description: Lots of VB examples that you could "possibly" port to RapidQ. | |
|
Description: This is a newest (and smallest) version that I could find on the internet. It can be installed in any folder on your hard drive. This is only an update. The file contains win32.hlp, but not win32.cnt (which is the contents file). The downfall of no win32.cnt file is that you don't have the glossary; however you do get the index and search capabilities. The Win32.hlp file comes in handy if you need to look-up API functions AND a whole lot more. | |

Description: This .zip file contains 3 versions of Microsoft's COM/OLE viewer. You can view functions/subs (and their parameters) within COM/OLE objects. Be sure to read the READ_NOW_ME.txt before using. | |
