what the title said. Also, when you make a windowed program, when you maximise the window the part where the program is, is smaller than the window. And I know you can do this I just dont know how.

When I die, I want to be burried upside down, so thy critics, can kiss my a$$...

If you want a true windows interface you'll either need to find a dll for DBC, or learn a language like Pascal, C, C++, C# or Visual Basic. Fortunately, you can get around this.

A window, in essence, is a box drawn on another box. You can use the box command and draw boxes and then use text to put words and stuff in them. You just need to keep track of all the positions of the buttons, windows, and text.

If you check out the Documentation folder there is an entire manual in English. It's very well documented. BTW, thanks for the link DarkGuy!

dude, levelmaker cant use magic windows. For magicwindows to work you need the mw functions in the folder with the rest of the files. So the other darkdude couldnt have used it...or he could have stolen the functions and put them in the source code, plus he never put any credit for magicwindows. oh well...

No, level maker 3d did not use magic windows, it used standard image files. If you want to achieve something like that then just make your button in paint or something and then paste it in dark basic.
