Hi. i Added new commands RK plugin Bluegui ( updated: 04/08/2009)

http://www.robertknight.me.uk/blue2/site/ (original files, documents, helps, key/user) > you need gui.ini <

Install quide

1. Download gui2_v2.055.rar (attachment link)

2. unzip
gui2.dll -> The Game CreatorsDark Basic ProfessionalCompilerplugins-user
Gui2_addons.ini -> The Game CreatorsDark Basic ProfessionalEditorKeywords

3. Start Ide and make code

Command:

setPassword handle gadget, bool pass
setNumberOnly handle gadget, bool numberOnly // only 'on' mode
SetDialogPosition int x, int y
CreateDateTimePicker(int x, int y, int width, int height, handle parent)
UnresizeableWindow // this set mainwindow unresizeable
RemoveMaximize // this remove mainwindow maximize button
RemoveMinimize // this remove mainwindow minimize button

use:

SetPassword handle gadget, 1 // this set password on
SetPassword handle gadget, 0 // this set password off

newGadget = CreateDateTimePicker(100,100,200,30, 0)

changes:


rename gui2_web.dll to web.dll if want use webbrowser command

Example:
+ Code Snippet

startblue "XX","XXXX" // add this you bluegui user and key

edit1 = CreateEdit(20,100,100,20,0,0)
edit2 = CreateEdit(20,130,100,20,0,0)
        setPassword edit2, 1
edit3 = CreateEdit(20,160,100,20,0,0)
        setNumberOnly edit3, 1
do
loop

SetDialogPosition
+ Code Snippet

SetDialogPosition 100,100 // adjust first dialog position
c = ColorDialog() // then show dialog

Fix:

Editbox::scrollbar fixed

Now can load image include media exe. Works only 32bit desktop (Important - You must have a memblock command somewhere in your program else it won't work)
+ Code Snippet

function neverCalled()
  delete memblock 0
endfunction

Biggest problem is HUGE exe file

more commands maybe someday

---

Finally!

This has been something which has always been something i wanted from bluegui thanks allot!

I'm gonna test this now!

Yours
N3wton

---

Great, but... are you really allowed to release that?

---

i cant see why he couldnt, i mean the bluegui source code is avaliuble to all bluegui customers and you still need a licence key/name thing to compile any blue gui project with his dll so you can only use it if you've bought it

---

hmm, i broke listbox scrollbar, must fix it

if somebody found bugs, then tell if can fix that

edit: Editbox scrollbar has fixed. New dll found download link up attachment

---

at me not work

where can i get id and password?

---

unless RK let permission key/user sharing or delete ask, i dont share it, or delete key/pass asking from dll NO!!! it is my answer. Sry

---

Hi!,
nice commands you have added to blue-gui.
i have a feature request, (if it's not a problem).

I like Blue very much.And have been working with a friend of mine for a while and have been thinking to buy more licenses and use it extensively.

My biggest problem using it is the speed update of events and
that some events get lost (they never happen) and there isn't some type of stack of events to take them from. This is a big issue because sometimes you have to clik many times for an event to happen (specially in old machines).

There is a way to improve events?.
There is a way to keep the events that happened before in some place to use them later (As soon as possible)?

Thanks.

---

I've never had lost events (that I know of). How are you utilizing getEvent Is it in a loop until eventType()=0 ?

This is what I do, I have another method but it is commented out because I have not had any display issues or slowness from it.
+ Code Snippet

repeat
	getEvent
	processEvent()
rem process all the events
until eventType()=0
rem only process so many events, as to not cause potential display issues ??
rem until ((eventType()=0) or (t#+20 < hitimer()))

---

can show code what you use?

meaby that help

+ Code Snippet

do
   getEvent
   ET = EventType() : ES = EventSource()

   if ET = MOUSE_CLICK // #include 'gui.dba'
       
      // example myGadget1 = CreateButton(5,5,100,20, "Do something", 1, 0) and 2-6 has something else Gadget
      if ES = myGadget1 then // do something
      if ES = myGadget2 then // do something
      if ES = myGadget3 then // do something
      if ES = myGadget4 then // do something
      if ES = myGadget5 then // do something
      if ES = myGadget6 then // do something


      flushEvents  // empty buffer
   endif

loop

---

Hi,
very fast answers.
Give me like 10 hours. In this momment i dont have access to blue gui.

---

Hi,
@ tiresius
I don't process the events the way you do. Maybe is that what's wrong. I don't block the app with "eventType()=0"
Is there a reason to block the application like that?

@Humanoid: I don't use flushEvents. I tried in some places with positve results (After each event type) and some please without positive results (before "loop" in the main do loop, "one flush for many event types"). Is there a especial rule to use flushEvents?

I use the code this way:

+ Code Snippet

do
getEvent
process events
sync
process events
loop

---

I don't block the application, I just let ALL the BlueGUI events process before I go on to do other DBPro type things, like draw the screen. That guarantees I get all the events, as far as I know. I never use FlushEvents. I'd assume this is only helpful when switching contexts (modal windows or dialogs) ?

I'm pretty sure Humanoid was showing you the wrong way to receive events. FlushEvents clears all the messages (read or undread) and then they are lost.

A question for you is why are you "processing events" twice? You can only process an event that you've gotten from getEvent. And it is reading off a queued list of events. I would say use something similar to my code and see if it fixes your problem.

---

Ok.
I process events twice but the routine only gets the
events once with getevent.
I will try your solution and tell you the results.

EDIT: I tried your solution and it works pretty pretty well not an event lost once..
Thanks for the info. I have been making this mistake for a while (Like a year ago, or more ), and tried many workarounds, that i see that weren't necessesary....

---

I think I grabbed it from a BlueGUI example file but don't remember which one. Glad it works for ya.

@Humanoid - Are you going to be doing more work in BlueGUI (such as better Vista support with list boxes and a working manifest.exe type thing)? There have been grumblings lately about how it works in the new OS, although I haven't run into them personally yet.

---

Added new command:

SetDialogPosition int x, int y

>download attament link<

@tiresius: i do what i can. Maybe, mayby not :S takes time and i have my own dbpro project what need do and that takes time too

---

Maybe this help -> Download <-

---

Can you still order BlueGUI?

---

Nice to see somebody continue development of this great dll, and a handy couple extra commands there

Be really impressive if you can fix a few bugs j/k

---

Added new command:

CreateDateTimePicker(int x, int y, int width, int height, handle parent)

-> download < -- first post

---

wow.
YOu are advancing pretty fast.

I have another request.

When you create an application in a window in darkbasic you usually see that when you have your machine in a higher resolution and maximize the application, all image, objects e.t.c. in DBPRO get maximized as well, however, when you have bluegui objects inside the Darkbasic window, they don't get scaled as well, and preserve their original size. Is there a way you can fix that?.

Thanks.

AlfaX.

---

can you do example code?

---

of course.
Give me 8 hours until i have access to blue-gui.

---

ok

---

Alfa X do you want panels and gadget positions to change along with the DBPro window size? As far as I know we don't have relative panel sizes (like a flag that says "full height"), we have to say 'y pixels' to set it that way.

You can have code checking for a resize window message when processing getEvent(), I don't remember what it's called but there is something for it. Then resize the affected gadgets accordingly.

If Humanoid can get BlueGUI to do it that would be awesome. For now what I'm doing is making the window non-resizable. Just sizes it based on a config file.

---

Hi,
here is the code, create the project in window mode:

+ Code Snippet

Rem Inicialización del BlueIde
startBlue "xxx","xxxxxx"

REm Scene Initialización
make object cube 1,5
position camera 0,0,-15

Rem Blue Gui Inicialization
global DBPRO
global scrollBar
DBPRO = createGadgetFromWindow(mainWindow())
scrollBar = createScrollbar(210, 175,20, 500,1, DBPRO)
do

    sync
loop

---

could you tell a little more, what would you do
. To, therefore, that the scrollbar is just the right side, right? and the window size according to you?

---

Ok.
You create the above project in window mode.


If you change the size of the window, the box change its size accordingly to the size of the window. The Scrollbar gadget of blue GUI can't do the same and preserves it's size and position relative to the window. The favor i ask, is if it's possible to Fix that or have a parameter that makes possible to scale the window.

Thanks.

AlfaX.

Thanks. i will try it out.

Hello!!!

Months or years ago I reported in the official site of Robert Knight that the BLUEGUI2 extension couldn't access media stored inside the executable, so I had to keep images somewhere in folders.

Can you fix this?

Thanks!

Kind regards,

---

Also wondering if its possible to get an
OnProgramClose procedure?

E.g. if someone preses escape yes you can disable escape key and run your own quit program function, but if someone just clicks the X in the corner your quit program function wont be run, so is it possible?

Yours
N3wton

---

you can do that

+ Code Snippet

// this found gui.dba file
#constant WINDOW_CLOSE      0x10  

StartBlue "xx", "xxxx"


main = CreateGadgetFromWindow(mainwindow())


do
	getevent
	ET = EventType() : ES = EventSource()
	
	IF ES = main
		if ET = WINDOW_CLOSE then Message "End program": end : // when press X button corner... close program
		
	ENDIF
	
LOOP

---

oh well that works

but now my eventType()=MENU_CLICK doesnt but if i remove the line
main = CreateGadgetFromWindow(mainwindow()) then it does... any ideas?

Yours N3wton

Hey Humanoid-

There's been a longstanding problem that has bugged me and was wondering if you could look into it. The function setButtonImage gadgetNum, image only works on Desktops which are 32 bit depth. If it is another kind (16 bit) the buttons get corrupt and can crash. I believe there is a similar problem with the Canvas gadget.

Is there any chance you might be able to look into that? Right now I have code to boot the user out if their desktop is <> 32-bit depth but that seems rather clunky and unprofessional. I know you're not responsible for the wrapper and how it works but just throwing it out there. A workaround for the buttons is to load the image directly, not use a DBPro image. I don't think there is a workaround for the canvas. If that helps you narrow it down. Thanks for any help.

---

@N3wton: menu to close focus for some reason ... I try to explain the problem

---

Hi,
I was wondering if t's possible to put border to some gadgets, like edit Boxes or labels. (I think that this doesn't exist now)

Something like this.

setGadgetBorder handle gadget, size, color

Thank you so much.

AlfaX.

I'm new at using BlueGUI. I saw in this post the addition of new commands, especially UnresizeableWindow. How do you make thses new commands work in BlueGUI? What do you have to install or change to get the new commands working in the the application?
