Hi,

Is it possible to do a 'prompt message box' with an input request with BlitzSYS or windows Api ? ... and get back the result.

Sorry if this question has already be asked, however I find nothing.

Thanks !

I don't believe the functionality for input boxes is in blitzsys. As far as WIndows API goes, I think comctl32.dll contains what you need...

Ok, thanks for answer. I'll try to find some documentation about this DLL.

I presume the Author of Blitz3D use some Windows DLL for the program IDE. I'm looking for something like the classic 'find' prompt-box-message [Ctrl + F].

The Blitz IDE itself is not reaally connected to anything that b3d does, it's essentially a standalone editor with extra buttons to link to the bbcc.exe compiler.

Have you looked at one of the UI entrie in the code archives etc. Especially something like DevilUI (by devilschild) - this can certainly do what you need.

It might be overkill for what you need, but ultimately could make a windows-like UI interface a lot easier.
