Hey, can anyone recomend a good free Windows API gui module? does not have to be multi-platform, just windows. Or is buying max gui my only option for this?

There is only 1 free Windows API module and thats wxMod which is cross plattform as well. If that does not meet your needs, then MaxGUI is the only way to go.

yeah, i'll try to set up wxMod and have a go later.. What about kev's WB3D? is great for b3d, but i don't know how it matches with max.. (it was created for b3d).

The only minor thing about WB3D for BMAX is that it has to have a graphics window created for WB3D to be initialized.

That and the fact that WB3D is not event based which makes it kind of pointless. In that case you can as well use a graphical GUI like HighGUI3, CoreGui, FryGui or IGlass

Alright, but as far as windows API stuff, it looks like everyone's pointing fingers at wxMod.. Just gotta figure out this google repository stuff *sniff*

Its just SVN ... so no problem. But it will take a fair amount of time to compile, so be warned ^^ I use MaxGUI currently, mainly because I own a LogicUI license which makes using it a simple point, click, event handler implementation thing :)
