Will ever be a complete documentation of every commands? Because I think that isn't a bit frustrating to try them all and watch what they do and what they don't do...especially for function arguments...Many of them cannot explain their meaning by theirself....

For example...What's the difference from LoadImage and LoadImageEx? Their arguments are the same...aren't they?

Another thing is....Does exist a function to load an image by memory handle?

Thanks to all...

dbLoadImage appears to be the one that actually takes the texture flag while dbLoadImageEx doesn't take the flag. There must be some kind of aliasing going on there.

In DBPro, there are three 'overloads' (string table entries) for load image, one for each function prototype. All three call the function 'LoadEx', which is an overloaded function.

Not at all sure why GDK does it, however.

You cannot use memory from Windows in GDK to load an image, but...you can make a memblock from an image, and then you can get the pointer to that memblock, if that is what you want to do. (Manipulate the image in memory.)

This architecture is not my favorite - I like the memblocks and the functionn get image to memblock, make memblock from image etc.. but you can only have 257 MAX memblocks but 65000+ whatever images (in theory).

257 is to low a number. I MYSELF wish I could copy image to pointer's location, and back to iamges and not use memblocks at all.

LoL

The MAIN reason I wanted it was for GUI "Ease" - I've already started my own from scratch - and I'm glad I did because I'll have full screen exclusive mode windows too when I'm done ... so... Onward MArch
