This gui is part of an engine i have made in DBPro, but as it can be seperated from the rest of the engine, here it is. It is very fast, because it uses nothing but sprites, and requires no media. Visit my website at http://www.scratchyrice-dev.co.uk/HTML/Apps/QBEDGui/QBEDGui.html for screenshots, and the gui itsself.
Here is one screenshot:

It is still quite a limited gui, and i am improving it. Tell me what you think.
Thnaks.

impressive for no media but you really need to sort out the priority problem(window selected should appear on top),and perhaps not have the windows been visible through each other.

A study done by William Speyer, who was a victim of prison rape in 1989, shows that 34% of [prison] rape victims released from prison become child molestors.

I have now updated the gui, and has a proper priority system, and you cannot see through the windows. I have also changed the style, so that the sides and bottom of the window frame blend nicely in with the titlebar.
Shot of the new style::

And again, you can download the updated version of this gui at http://www.scratchyrice-dev.co.uk/HTML/Apps/QBEDGui/QBEDGui.html

is it really fast?

and can we use it in any project we like ?

i'm looking for a really fast GUI system for my game, as the game is quite an FPS hogger at times it would be nice if i could find an ingame GUI that isnt...

also, is it based on sprites?

Here is the new gui, with transparency support. You can also now create menu's using a node method. Here is a screenshot:

And the attachment includes the source code, and a demo. Have fun!

Looks good and well coded(easy to "read" the source).
Didn't look at it to long, but tryed the demo and liked what i saw.
Is it okay to edit the source?
I will of course give credit to you(If i decide to use it for something)

I looked into your source, and it's well coded. Though I would like to suggest something...

I saw you often started a function with

for windownum = 1 to 100
next windownum

like doing
A X 100, after that
B X 100, and after that
C X 100, and again
etc.
instead of doing
A, B and C X 100 in one time

I was wondering if you could 'leave' this out and make one big for...next loop in the function
RenderGUIEnviroment
and just add an extra parameter in the other functions for passing the number of the window you would like to update...

Just an idea to speed it up...

Great work so far!

Wow, very well done And I just started doing something similar for a small level editor. Great work General Reed. My only suggestion would be to have the text with the flat background and the child buttons with the gradients. Other than that it's very good

Thanks for the support guys. However, due to difficulties, like changing button captions realtime etc, the next version will use cloggys d3d_func dll. This infact is faster than using sprites. The next version (Within the next two weeks) will have drop-down boxes, Progress bars and file browsers. It will also have pre-defined windows like message box, yes/no boxes etc.
Sorry for taking so long, but i have been very busy with my new fps engine for my chavkill game.


***NOT COPIED FROM THAT 3D CHAVKILLER GAME, I THOUGHT OF THIS IDEA 2 YEARS AGO

There are two major problems with this release.
1) The text does not show in the input boxes
2) The backspace and arrow keys dont work in the textbox.

The new version will be comming out soon (2-3 days) and these have been fixed, plus there are a lot more functions (Comboboxes) etc. However this version uses d3d_func as realtime updating using sprites is a pain, and d3d_func seems to be more effecient

P.S. Im glad someone is actually using it in one of their projects (appart from me). I Salute you Pwnage.
