    Hey there, I do have a small program that converts one type of image into another. It consist of .dll , .c and application files. it simply runs through command line, and does its work. Im working with java based programs and not sure if there is any way to view a source code for that one? Im wondering if there is any way to create something as GUI for it, just because using through command line isnt handy enough... Thanks for help :)

        Any program (almost) can work just as well as a Windows based app or a console app. You just need to rework the output portion of the program to display its information in a window rather than line by line to the console. The difficulty in doing this depends on your skill in the language and framework that you are working on.

          I had opened it with Net Beans, apparently it was written in C++. Another question would be: is it difficult to rework code that would do the same thing in java? this might sound stupid, but my knowledge level in java isn't very high, and never worked with C++ either.. Thanks a lot.

            I am finding it very difficult to discover what problem you are trying to solve here. Your original message talked of trying to convert images, then of trying to view source code in a console application, which you wanted to convert to GUI based. You now mention viewing something with NetBeans but also state that you are not experienced in either Java or C++. Could you restate your original message in terms of what technical problem you have come up against and what programming language and operating system you are working in to try and solve it?

              Sorry for not being clear enough, try to make it more clearer. Thus I am running Windows, I have an application (or software if I could say so), what it does is, works through command line. It does have a .exe and .dll files. You simply open up a command line, type in "converter.exe fileName.raw" and it converts an .raw file (picture) into .apn file (a file type used by Alpine, for their head units). Thus I managed to view a source code of that application using Net Beans, it was written in C++, and now I am wondering if it would be possible to rework same piece of code into java language? Thank You

                Technically, yes. However you already stated that you do not know C++ and you are not very experienced in Java. I do not think this is a trivial task so will probably need some expert help or some training in both languages. You may also like to try searching Google to see if there are any C++ to Java converters in existence.

                  Hi, why don't you create a wrapper app that presents a GUI and calls the console app, giving it the necessary inputs on the command line, and optionally does something useful with the output file(s)? That way you don't need to know or replicate the internals of the existing app. :)
