Welcome to using Phidgets with C! By using C, you will have access to the complete Phidget22 API, including events.
 
Code::Blocks is a free, open source cross-platform IDE that can be used for C and C++.

==Use Our Examples==
One of the best ways to start programming with Phidgets is to use our example code as a guide. In order to run the examples, you will need to download and install [http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads Code::Blocks].
 
 
Now that you have Code::Blocks installed, select an example that will work with your Phidget:
*{{SampleCode|C|C Examples}}
 
 
Open the example in Code::Blocks (you do not need to create a new project) and navigate to Settings -> Compiler... as shown in the image below:
 
[[Image:C_codeblocks_settings.png|link=|center]]
 
 
From the Global compiler settings screen, navigate to Search directories -> Compiler and add the following directory:
*C:\Program Files\Phidgets\Phidget22
 
[[Image:C_codeblocks_compiler.PNG|link=|center]]
 
 
Next, select Search directories -> Linker and add the following directory:
*C:\Program Files\Phidgets\Phidget22\x86
 
[[Image:C_codeblocks_linker.PNG|link=|center]]
 
 
Finally, from the Global compiler settings screen, navigate to Linker settings and add the following line:
*phidget22
 
[[Image:C_codeblocks_libraries.PNG|link=|center]]
 
 
You can now build and run the example:

==Setting up a New Project==
When you are building a project from scratch, or adding Phidget functionality to an existing project, you'll need to configure your development environment to properly link the Phidget C library.
 
 
To include the Phidget C library, add the following line to your code:
<syntaxhighlight lang='C'>
#include <phidget22.h>
</syntaxhighlight>
 
You can now compile the file as shown in the [[#Use Our Examples|Use Our Examples]] section.
