I'm looking for pointers on how to do simple listboxs, textboxes and drop down menus. Can anyone point me in the write direction?

(I know there are a few about allready, but I'm talking simple)

Cheers

MaxGUI, should be spot on: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Products/maxgui.php

Or are you thinking of something else?

Well, for a little game I'm doing a textbox would come in handy to allow the user to enter his name for a score - got no idea on how to do such a thing. Also, a few other knick knacks might be handy

I have a simple 'number adder' example here although I've written it in an OOP style so it may well look a bit strange:

' Textboxes - adding 2 values
Framework BRL.Win32MaxGUI

Local win:TGadget = CreateWindow("Adder",176,193,284,123,Desktop(),1)
Local val1:TGadget = CreateTextField(20,20,100,20,win,0)
Local val2:TGadget = CreateTextField(150,20,100,20,win,0)
Local results:TGadget = CreateTextField(80,56,160,20,win,0)
CreateLabel("+",133,21,9,15,win,0)
CreateLabel("=",60,57,10,16,win,0)
ActivateGadget val1


Repeat
	Local total:Double
	Local ev%=WaitEvent()
	DebugLog CurrentEvent.ToString()
	Select ev
		Case EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE
		Exit
		Case EVENT_GADGETACTION
		total = Double(val1.GetText()) + Double(val2.GetText())
		results.SetText String(total)
	End Select
Forever

End
