I just got Blitzmax this week. Does MaxGui have drag and drop methods like visual c# or is it all done in code?

It supports dropping of external files onto the client area of the Window gadget and that is about it. I would imagine implementing full drag and drop from any list item or tree node in code may be a bit of a struggle and you may want to look into the free wx module that is in development in the Brucey Modules section to see if that has such features and maybe provide a more suitable gui platform for you. MaxGUI is designed to be simplistic in design making it easy to learn and easy for throwing together the average game development tool you may need in your developments.

Thanks. I am using Bmax mainly with Leadwerks engine but sooner or later will need menus title screens etc.

If you meant that you can create the UI through drag and drop interfaces like in VC# and the like: no positioning etc is all done through code. Though you can buy JSPs logic ui which is a great editor for maxgui
