Is it possible to make standard windows dialog boxes? I know about a plug-in for DBPro, but I'm not sure if it'll work in DBC. So it there a way to do this?

Did someone say 3D scanning on my desk, or was that just an AdBot?

Umm... what do you mean?
Actually using Microsoft Windows or just making something that looks like it?

I've started making a windows type thing

@Sinani

For actually using the Windows API, here's a link that should give you an idea. Most if not all of the examples can be done with DBC enhanced:

For actually getting additional windows or menus, it's quite difficult with DBC but possible.

Enjoy your day.

I've found that some windows api calls require result data that is sent back to the program to be saved into variables of types that aren't possible to create in DBC, which makes some of the commands hard to use.

You can duplicate types using memblocks.

Enjoy your day.

Either one, but if it's fake windows, it would be hard because some people have different windows themes. Like instead of my window titles being in blue bars, it's in swamp green.

But some people still have yet to buy the enhancement pack for DBC and can't use memblocks. I also tried and failed to get it to work, although I know its possible.

The enhancement pack is now free if you have DB, but if you bought it from somewhere other than the site you can't get it, which strikes me as a little silly. Surely the enhancements should be available anyway, as without DB they can't do anything?

I never tell the truth.
That ain't a paradox.
I always tell lies is though.
