| I have a little question: can we use windows' window library in blitz3d? I want to use Windows'lib 'cause i wanna have something like this in my application:  What i need to do? |

| You can access the windows API with userlibs, but Blitz3D is not supporting the Windows Abstract Tool Kit (Windows Gui) natively. You may try WinBlitz, this is a Gui Library that hooks the Blitz3D window as a child. Here's the Library: http://www.melog.ch/dl/WinBlitz3Dbeta016b.zip You could also use BlitzPlus for this kind of Interface. Alternatively there are some non-system GUIs, most of them support Menus and Tabs, like in your picture. They may look not exactly the same. Check the GUI Section of the Toolbox. |

| Ok, thanks for the answer. I realized that i can't use BlitzPlus because it doesn't has 3d commands. Oh, and I downloaded the WinBlitz Lib, but it keeps saying that in the winblitz3d_include.bb some functions couldn't be found. |
| ||
| Did you copy the file "WinBlitz3D_n0dll.decls" to your "userlib" folder? |
| ||
| Oh, i didn't do that. I'll do it now. Well the .decls is aparently working, but now it needs a user32.dll . |
| ||
| ... |
| ||
| I know itīs the window's user32.dll, but the .decl file isn't recognizing it. |
| ||
| Oh, and Conan: Why do you even bother posting "..." if you're not helping anybody? |
| ||
| BlizUI has all those features... is very simple message based UI and I like it. You can DL it here: http://www.legacygames.co.uk/index.php -RZ |

| jfk - is this one of yours, or are you just holding a copy for download? I had high hopes for WinBlitz3D but even now (a year after I first downloaded it?) half the examples literally do nothing, most appear to have a picture(?) which appears then disappears (loss of focus?), and a couple even cause a non-debug-trappable error. I really wish the author would finish this properly - I'd be quite happy to pay for it! |
| ||
| Oh, yeah, sorry for the post up there, but i'd posted on the wrong thread, you see... so i erased it. (not against the rules, is it?) |
| ||
| hey Rook, thank you very much for the link. I've downloaded it and it seems VERY interesting; and it's free! I decided to stop trying to understand how WinBlitz3d works, because (i think) it's too complicated. Thank you all for the posts, Rafael Navega. |

| John - yes, BLitzWin3D still has some Problems, and the Author said it was the last release. It isn't a finished thing, I agree. But it shows how to use userlibs to get access to some windows stuff, eg. how to hook the Blitz Window onto an other processes window. Well, I wrote a little App with it some time ago, and I had to fix several little bugs (or let's say work around them). But basicly it works, can be used for some apps. (see: TextureWobbler). |

| No Problemo Amigo... Buen Suerte! I have been fiddling with WinBlitz3d and couldn't make a go... I have code to use blitzUI and if the message system seems complicated at first just post for help. : ) -RZ Not promising that I know ANYTHING but someone will! |
