The lack of updates is due to work on other projects which bring profit. This currently has no profit coming in from it, and hence is not as big a priority as the more profitable products. I've been working out some licensing details with some companies about benefits to some of the stuff I'm working on. For example the TwilightEngine doesn't have a speedy collision system, and it will need one. I'm talking with a company about using their collision system in it.

Anyways, the work on the more profitable products does take away a little from the non-profitable products, however, not everything. I plan on working on WinGUI today for a while.

Okay! I'm uploading an example document! It's from one of my current projects, but that's not to be worried about. The template is basically the same.

*ahem*

Slight update to WinGUI not worth releasing: gui_getWindowTextEx now works again, gui_getWindowText does not. The C/C++ equivalent of gui_getWindowText's usage does however work. I assume it could be a problem with DBP, or the way I'm interacting with DBP.


For those using the DBPPluginSDK, the current version works fine with MSVC++ 2008 Express AS IS.

Well, I created a topic over on Aex.Uni, which made my have to upload the latest... So enjoy the latest. <You might notice a speed increase with text retrieval>

UPDATE
Here's a new update for WinGUI. What's new with this update?

A * You can create a date/time picker box.

B * You can create a picture box.

C * You can create an image button.

D * The GDI functions have been fixed! (Except for colors)

E * You can set the "checked" state in a radiobox, or checkbox.

F * You can draw portions of a window to another window.

G * You can invert the colors of an area of a window.

H * And more. I think...


You can get this download from my website, here.

For some people, it looks like dark times for WinGUI, the last update having been nearly 2 or 3 months ago, where as WinGUI used to be updated by the week, or at least once a month. No promise of any new features seemed to have been apparent, some might have thought this project was dead...

However, with a small breathe of life, and a little programming, the project seems to be alive again!


Okay, basically I've been working on something else, however that something else just happened to involve a Windows based GUI, and most of WinGUI has been built into it, and fixed. Well, menu items and the such work great in it, as well, TABS are currently implemented! Plus a ton more features, some WinGUI has, some WinGUI doesn't... Well now, what does this mean exactly? This means that you should either expect an update to WinGUI pretty soon, or that you should look for this "other" product. A hint is that an unofficial announcement has been made of the product, but I won't say where, and I won't say what the product was called... Either way, WinGUI may be getting an update very soon.

Cheers,

@Aaron,

Got a couple questions for you...

1) Is there a way to set a combobox's value? I see that you can set a checkbox value with GUI_SETBOXCHECKED, but where is GUI_SETCOMBOBOX ?

Edit: I Tried using GUI_SENDEVENT, with a 324 event and even a 273 event, but that didn't work :/

2) Is there a way to change an image button's image? I see that you can change a window's image with GUI_SETWINDOWIMAGE, but where is GUI_SETBUTTONIMAGE ? This, of course, would be so that a button image can be changed when a user clicks on a button or hovers over it

Thanks!

WinGUI with TAB support now. The new commands (source code):


It didn't take me this long to write this code, it took me this long to make MSVC++ play nice (As I had to uninstall vista temporarily, now I have reinstalled it ).

Here's an update, enjoy. There's a changes file in it too.

Hey everyone i'm making a wingui editor, like bluegui has (i hope ) I've finished all the hard work on it, the only thing left, wich will probably be the most easy (but boring) is adding all the features to it (it is pretty easy, the only thing it can do now is add a button, but that was so easy to code, i cant imagine this will get any harder) well, here's a screenie.


and here's a simple code i exported from the wingui editor (just to show it does detect the window size, button position and height and all that stuff)

Whohoo ! Perfect ! But you guys know what would be cool? The posibility that when you double click the button it will pop-out the code so you can add events ! That is what blue gui misses!

IMPORTANT MESSAGE
WinGUI is subject to getting rewritten in a way that just *might* break existing code. This rewrite will be for stability in WinGUI, as well as to fix several bugs which could only be fixed with this rewrite. I don't know how long it will take, or when I will even get started.

If you are largely using WinGUI, please be aware of the possibility of code breaking, and keep an eye out.


Cheers,

All the versions I've released on the new server are still up there, thanks.

In additional news, I did plan out the new way that the menu system would work. In essence, you will use only ONE command to append a new menu, or create the menubar itself, and that (In WinGUI) would be "gui_makeMenu(name$, flags, parent)". Where as "flags" will specify if the menu has an image, if it's a splitter, etc.

Cheers,

Here is one way how to make working menus. Make a window, make menu and attach it to that window, then find out the handle of the dark basic pro window and then set the created window as a parent of db pro window.

Yes Brendy Boy, I'm aware of that. The only problem with that is I'm not sure how to retrieve the rect of a menu item <Get the height>, so I'd have to use a fixed height which could be different.

That IS with WinGUI btw. Just... Through the TwilightEngine (My C++ engine). It still has to get converted to a usable DLL for DBP. :/

EDIT
I added support for "styling". Now buttons can be flat <As shown in this picture>. I'm also working on something REALLY cool. It's a Vista only style (*might* work on XP), and that's a SPLIT BUTTON. A split button is basically a combobox.... But as a button. It does the job of both.



Also: Looking for Beta-Testers! E-Mail me if interested
C/C++ Knowledge would be nice if you want to get the latest versions of WinGUI for C/C++

DarkBasic Pro and DarkBasic Pro knowledge required

I think this sort of applies to WinGUI... Anyways, this is a Vista only feature to make an aero-glass window (Entirely aero-glass), that can act as a "widget", meaning you can click anywhere on it, to drag it. Since I already have a screenie of something similar to this, have a look:



Keep in mind that the screenie above won't have any caption/title, or any caption/title buttons. Nor would it have Direct3D renderings in it. If anyone wants to see what that is above, just ask me and I'll post a link, otherwise I don't want to advertise.
