A lot of the code posted on this site for blitz plus uses the user32.dll file and has extensions to the blitz plus library. I am new to the gui functions but I have been using blitz software for over a year. Can someone explain to me how to install and use the user32 dll and add functions.

You don't need User32 functions for creating GUI. Gui is integrated to BP.

I know, most of the gui tutorials on this site use the user 32 dll and I want to know how to install it and add new commands.

Copy the content into your userlibs directory under Blitz folder.

name the file to: user32.decls

Thanks, is there anything else that I need?


Petron(Posted 2006) [#6]
I downloaded the dll file and put it in userlibs is that right?

no user32.dll comes stocked with windows.


Petron(Posted 2006) [#8]
oh well can i leave it in the folder anyway


Petron(Posted 2006) [#9]
none of the commands work, it says commands not found... any help?


kfprimm(Posted 2006) [#10]
yes you can leave it in there, make sure that file is called user32.decls, not user32.decls.txt or something of the like. Make sure all the functions need to have the api_ prefix in front if them.

I found the problem, I opened it in word by accident and that changed the formatting so I redit it through notepad.
