Hey everyone... I'm new here... ^^ I tried to install a new version of MaxGUI and I got an Compile Error when I tried to build one of my programs... The error message is: "Duplicate identifier 'TIconStrip' in modules 'brl.maxgui' and 'maxgui.maxgui' " What have I done wrong and how do I fix it? :-)

Not familiar with maxgui but if you are using 2 modules with the same named identifiers working within the same namespace (or when using both namespaces) you will get this error. As i say, i am not familair with max gui but are you sure you need to register both modules?

Well... If I delete the "maxgui.mod" directory from the "brl.mod" directory I get the error "Can't find interface for module 'brl.maxgui'" instead... :/ Really don't know what I have done wrong... :-)

The maxgui.mod directory should be at the same directory level as brl.mod, not inside of it. There should be: mod\brl.mod mod\maxgui.mod

that's how the directories are looking now... Still getting the error "Can't find interface for module 'brl.maxgui'" ? :(

hmm... a good idea would be to rebuild documentation, wouldn't it? :) Problem solved... This is me in a nutshell, solving my own problems... Get used to it.... ;-)

brl.maxgui is outdated -- Maxgui *used* to be under the BRL.* branch, but ist was spun off into its own branch. You'll need to delete the brl.maxgui branch altogether (and possible some other brl.* GUI related folders as well. Make sure to rebuild the documentation to get it to remove the references to brl.maxgui. Note: When using any of the GUI command, you now have to use 'import maxgui.drivers' instead of 'import brl.maxgui'

Yeah.. I solved the problem my uninstalling BlitzMax and did everything from scratch :-)
