Hi, i am not a pc programmer, but i start learn C-C++ and i have experiences with allegro and making simple games now i try to experiment with simple gui programs for Haiku and i start searching for examples.

There’s DarkWyrm’s “Programming with Haiku” as an intro to coding with the Be/HaikuAPI. It predates Haiku’s layout management, though.

Of course, there’s always the apps shipping with Haiku, apps and preferences. Another good resource are all the applications hosted at HaikuArchives.

I took the liberty to rename your thread to something more informative and, since it’s not off-topic at all, moved it into the “Development | Application” category. Cheers!

clipdinger is nice, i dont know about it.

my idea is to get current text from clipboard and send it to another pc i dont know how do account system but is very big area to play with it, maybe will be good to have daemn who allways run and wait for incoming message. i have inspiration when i see one of the video by apple on the youtube about copy paste acros a devices

Can you elaborate on the kind of other PC where you want to paste the text? Would it be a PC in your personal network or a PC anywhere on the internet?
Maybe UploadIt Tracker Add-On could fill your need? It’s quite simple but sufficient for sharing something when you don’t mind about privacy.

I’m not a programmer so don’t laugh at me. Perhaps you could look at the code for Warpinator from Linux Mint. It shares files across a local network and has apps for Linux, Win, MacOS, Android. Perhaps there is some inspiration in that code. There is also the Be / Haiku program BeShare that is a server / client model that may offer some inspiration.

To copy/paste URL’s I use IRC on different laptops.
For file sharing across the network you could use Gerbera (web interface)
