textpad help

I had taken a couple college class on programing and had worked with sdl a bit with Microsoft visual studios and used text pad for the most part in the other bits. So I have textpad on my laptop and would like to make a few tools in sdl for my gaming sessions but I can't seem to get it to work I have a development kit for c++ and the downloaded the sdl one but I don't know how to get it to work for textpad and can't find anything online.

Okay, Textpad is just your text editor and has nothing to do with it. You need to find out how to invoke the compiler you're using from the command line, and where it expects to find include files. Put the SDL headers wherever that is, then in your program put #include <SDL.h> and go about your merry way. Once you've got this working I think you can set up textpad to invoke the compiler with a button press.
