| This is my long-term Blitzmax/MaxGUI project that's not long passed it's first anniversary. I reckon it'll be the end of the year before it's ready for public consumption. Community credits go to Brucey for his muParser and format modules, JoshK whose code archive entry is the basis for my list view and JSP for his LogicGUI. First video, from last September; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrjJUTRw3Vo Latest video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAiLuV4l8V4 |

| it looks nice, but should you be using the buttons from the BlitzMax IDE? |
| ||
| matibee, love your User Interface - all in all quite a polished looking product. Sorry I didn't look sooner but I usually browse the forums on a tablet which likes screen shots better than youtube. I'll be having a peek a LogicGUI ;) |

| I'm really not looking for feedback I'm simply trying to show the world what BlitzMax and MaxGUI are still capable of. When I put this product in front of my target audience I'll be making much more of an effort :) @wicker. You're right but they're placeholders. I've a feeling the icon strip is in the public domain now anyway but it makes no difference to me as most of them don't do anything in my app. I also can't call it 'iCAM' but that doesn't stop me from drawing logos or splash screens when I'm too tired to code, or just getting on with the project while I think of something else. @BP. Thanks, but like I say I can't take all the credit for the UI. I did the side tabber which, in keeping with the spirit of things, I duly put in to the code archives. JSP helped me sort it out and that's also where I found JoshK's great Splash Screen and Editable List code. The main thing I needed LogicGUI for was the Cutter Path Properties window (second video @2minutes in.) There's dozens and dozens of gadgets on there (70+ IIRC) and there was no way I was doing that without a visual editor. It paid for itself on that form alone. |

| Will that eventually work with proper lathe things, whatever they're called? |

| Not a lathe Gfk, a milling machine or router. They're just dumb animals that know how to get to an XYZ position. Software like this takes a 3d cad model and generates all those positions to come up with the finished form; (warning contains soft rock!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5tOYWfhuyM |
