| It looks functional, though reminds me of the state things were back in 1990 with Amiga OS 1.3 |

| It looks functional, though reminds me of the state things were back in 1990 with Amiga OS 1.3 Workbench was not that colourful. |

| Updated the code last night. Supports better skining with a GUI.ini that contains file sizes and control colours. To skins are provided: - WindowsXP - Defualt (Ice cool) Added grouped option boxes as well as fixing some pointless problems. Download Here! |
| ||
| It looks much better now. :D Just some bugs I've found: -Text high is not well calculated if you're not using the default BlitzMax font (menus and buttons not well draw). -Tab navigation (is it possible?) -Progress bar drawing over the 3D edge -The background is shown before displaying the dialog box Anyway, good job :) *Edit: The Default skin is not working (I think there may be missing files) |
| ||
| I'll be working on tabs as soon as possible. and i'll create a reame on programming with and on creating custom skins, its easy just edit the graphics and the GUI.ini file. defualt is missing its GUI.ini file i'll correct it later. btw the progress bar doesn't draw over the 3d edge you just got to move the bottm one down 3 pixels. I'll try and fix the font problem later too. The background is drawn because of how the msgbox is done. it grabs a screenshot and then draw it. thx for the feedback i'll take it outa beta when it's more stable! |
| ||
| ok, to get defualt theme to work create a GUI.ini in the same dir as the defualt graphics and past this code in it: |
| ||
| i keep getting a server timmed out error every time i try b ut good work looks quite cool :) |
| ||
| try it from the savefile site: Which Is Here! My offical web host has disappered leaving only a link where i can get a hit counter :( - never mind, never had to pay of it any way :) |
| ||
| DIABLO this is pretty cool! Thanks! |
| ||
| Its been a long time, i know, but i have done a lot: - Added tabs - Added List boxes - Improved theme support, yet again! (textheight!?) - Improved text box support - General bug fixes - Uses a no defualt font for the example. - Vastly improve frame rate (50 - 60, 220 - 250) thanks to finding out drawimagerect() ;) Todo - Combo boxes - Documentation - Some more defualt windows, i.e. save file, open file, etc. Download it from here: Download Here! |

| You know that the thumbnail doesn't point to a screenshot resembling it, right? |
| ||
| yes. Its not a thumbnail anymore tho, thats the actual size! till i make a bigger one. |
| ||
| that's cus he changed the image since i commented |
| ||
| I blame you for all the bad things in the world then, Daniel. |
| ||
| The zip file is corrupted. ;( |
| ||
| Worked here. |
| ||
| Can someone provide an alternate link. Doesnt work in IE or firefox |
| ||
| I just tried downloading now (I use Firefox), and it worked fine. So I can't imagine what that problem is on your end. |
| ||
| works fine for me in firefox too. |
| ||
| I click on the link, and I can see from my router that its downloading, but nothing happens. then after a few seconds, I get the dialog to download or open, either one i choose in both browsers results in a 0 byte zip file. |
| ||
| Wouldn't it be a good idea to check your router? |
| ||
| New update includes - Added Text functions e.g. multiline - Added Spinner - Added Combobox - Improved scroll bars - General bug fixes - Uses a non-defualt font for the example. Todo - Documentation - Some more defualt windows, i.e. save file, open file, etc. Download it from here: Download Here! |
| ||
| This is a good I like it, but a couple of *minor* things I have noticed. 1) Multiline textbox doesnt automatically go to the next line when you are typing and reach the end of a line. (You have to press return at the end) 2) The moving rectangle (scroller) in the scrollbar could be a bit bigger so its easier to scroll. Maybe adjust the size to how many items there are in the list/combobox? As I said these are minor things, but overall good work! Looking forward to seeing how this progresses. |

| 1) Multiline textbox doesnt automatically go to the next line when you are typing and reach the end of a line.

Maybe adjust the size to how many items there are in the list/combobox? and that. :) thx for the bug reports. ******************************************* NEW RELEASE ******************************************* I've decided to take it out of beta now, the latest version includes - two new themes - improved scroll bars - improved the message boxes (They don't flash the background) - Improved tabs - Improved Textboxes - And much more that i can't remember ;) Download it from here: Download Here! |

| The Test sample doesn't work here, I always get this error : Compile Error: Identifier type does not match declared type I could locate the error in that line : If ListItem(kMyListbox.HiGetSelectedItem()) <> Null Then stext:String = ListItem(kMyListbox.HiGetSelectedItem()).m_stext When I comment out these if states the test runs fine but then the selection of items doesn't work correctly. BTW: Very nice GUI. And then for free. I'm simply impressed. [Edit:] Hah, I've found the error : change the above line to : If ListItem(kMyListbox.HiGetSelectedItem()) <> Null Then local stext:String = ListItem(kMyListbox.HiGetSelectedItem()).m_stext |

| Looks nice m8 :) but after a short peek in the source, i think that you shod take a look on polymorfism in bmax, you can make your source ALOT smaler and less messy, and still do what you do here, for example, you have Tons of TList objekts for each type of winGadjet(progressbar, buttons, images and so on), but you only need one if you use some nice strukturd polymorfism, and that goes for each of the different function in the main window render method, that renders all sub objects. you only need One function to handle all of them :) and it might save you TONS of lines, and alot of work to :) only a friendly advice ofcorse, but other than that, i Think you have done a realy nice work here :) keep up the nice work m8 :D oh by the way, cant use this sinse it requers Irlitsh(however that is spelled), and i dont want to install more stuff on my laptop. happy coding :D |
| ||
| It doesn't need Irrlicht, it seems only be needed by the compiled test.exe. if you compile the source it will run. |
| ||
| sorry about it needin that i put the module in my mods, didn't know it would have that effect. :( but after a short peek in the source, i think that you shod take a look on polymorfism in bmax, you can make your source ALOT smaler and less messy, and still do what you do here, for example, you have Tons of TList objekts for each type of winGadjet(progressbar, buttons, images and so on), but you only need one if you use some nice strukturd polymorfism, and that goes for each of the different function in the main window render method, that renders all sub objects. you only need One function to handle all of them :) i'll try and make the code less messy, the only thing was written without planning but know its almost all there i can have a good sort through. |
| ||
| Polymorhpism is hard to implement when evrything alredy is in there, i think you whod have to rewrite it all from the begining(i know i whod) if you dont want to get lost in the messy:nes ;) well, poymorfism is ofcorse not somting people must use, but in your case, it might make the total amont of lines down to 1/8 or less... i think its worth it :) sorry for my spelling, and any missanderstanding that might add :) |
| ||
| i have basicly re-written it now. no d/l at the mo but i can tell you that its kinda of crazy now, everything can be a parent which means that you could put a window inside a picture box. Still got to re-write menubars, spinner & combo boxes but once its done i'll also make a GUI editor, Custom window editor & Custom control editor. bty you wont have to input the sizes of each frame for a custom skin anymore & I have introduced effects, so you can have simple shadows & fancy shadows, fade out effects & such like. |
| ||
| Sounds interesting, Diablo; I look forward to seeing the new version in action. The fade-in/out stuff could be cool (like a button "morphing" into a slider when it's pressed or some such :) ). |
| ||
have you added function pointers yet? it would be good to go:myButton.OnClicked = MyClickHandlingFunction instead of wrapping HiClicked() in an if statement. *EDIT* also it doesn't work in strict mode because you are using goto. |
| ||
| looking forward to take a deep dive in you source m8 ;) |
| ||
| stupid question: how can i change the color of a window? |
| ||
| None of the locations has the file! Where can i get it ? |
| ||
| this is an old topic go here: http://blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=49260#553183 bty i've been busy doing other stuff for a while, however i'll be releasing a ew full version when i can. work on the editor is coming a long too and i hope to release it will the full version d\l. Don999 you cant change the colours of the windows by changing a varible, who have to edit the themes. |
