| If I create a dll adding commands for using the win32 api gui would anyone be interested? |
| ||
| hi joey ive been coding a win32 gui library for blitz3d for some time now. http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=54697 or if mixed gui is not required ive coded a simple include file that requires no .dll. it does offer support for most win32 gadgets http://nadcom.co.uk/winblitz3d/ kev |

| I'ts alays interesting but it has been done before :) |
| ||
| use WinBlitz3D.. Thats what im using. It comes with .Decls and just uses the user32.dll |
| ||
| im not looking for a new gui. I just was messing around in c++ and working on my winapi stuff and made a dll that uses nothing but winapi. Not mfc or wxwidgets just plain winapi. It has been goin awesome but just curious if theres any interest. When I say winapi I mean really using winapi no fakes or whatever. It would allow you to do anything in blitz u can in windows. Of course I wont add everything BUT I would have a request list and add everything people ask for that is obviously in my power. If no one is interested ill move on and think of another project be it blitz or whatever lol. |

| That's what WinBlitz3d is. It is a full WinAPI GUI featuring many gadgets. Currently it is coded fully in B3d, and it is also being revised into a more featureful DLL. In fact (sorry for the shameless plug) here are two projects written with a slightly modified WinBlitz3d: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=54824 http://www.blitzbasic.com/logs/userlog.php?user=7206&log=255 Feel free to go ahead with your own GUI project, but I doubt there is all that much reason since there already is one quite like it. I think it's also worth noting that, depressingly, with a third of people, any mention of anything to do with the WinAPI, be it a free Windows GUI or a way to do proper file select menus, seems to go in one ear and out the other. It would be very swell if there was some way to get them to understand the usefulness of using a native Windows GUI (mainly the fact that the program's appearance will change with time instead of have a deprecation in quality, and the massive speed increase since it's all handled externally). |

| hmm well sounded like a fun project but as u say no one really understands the winapi goodness and also there is already one. Hmm Ill think about it if I can think of any usefull feats the other one dont do but o well. So hard to think up new projects. |
| ||
| Well, theres nothing stopping you from learning it doing this! |
| ||
| Na i know it. Not much learning. There is some but Ill do another project I have up my sleeve. |
