But the buttons are invisible.

Yes, it is. You have to call SET WINDOW ON command before START BBB GUI command and then it will work.

That does seem to work, but then the window is very small. When I resize it manually everything's good. But when I resize it via set window size the buttons disappear.

SET WINDOW SIZE is dbpro's own command for resizing window. Use the one from bbb gui - WINDOW SET SIZE. Then it will work.

If it's in the main db window, it's gone on every sync.
How can i fix this without creating the objects again?

As he told me, you must use the "set window on" command before you start bbb gui. Then you must use the "window set size" command to properly size the window.

Hey Brendy Boy, is there a way for a multiline editbox to automatically scroll with with the text? I'm working on the chat feature for the lobby of my game I made with Multisync, and it works. I just want it to scroll with the text that is inserted to the box. I have this:

The easiest way i also found of making a chat box that scrolls down (and can have the use a coloured text and smileys ect...) was via adding a webbrowser gadget, and update the html code (thus the smileys could be images wrapped with <img src = "happy.jpg"> ) and you could make it scroll down every time a message is recieved via a little bit of javascript.

Tho i don't think this plugin supports a webbrowser gadget yet, so it would be nice to have one.

but other than that I dont think you can, using a multiline edit box. you could also try using a list box, if there is a list box gadget (I havn't really played with this plugin yet, and i use bluegui, so these are solutions i used via that plugin) using a listbox, should mean you can add a line, and set the selected line.

OH! just had an idea, you could use an edit box, and is it the user32.dll and simulate a keypress of Page down every time a message is rcieved, but this would be a clumsy way of doing it

hope I made sense, i've only just woke up

yours

Try Hide Window

I may have to end up using a listbox N3wton. I could call page down or hitting the enter key with the dll, but id also have to set focus to the gadget/window. Ill figure something out. Thanks

Edit: Oh wait, there is a set window focus command. Ill mess around with it

Edit 2: N3wton, it did work using user32.dll xD For anyone wanting to auto-scroll a multiline textbox use this:

No not hiding a window, just a specific item(i.e. a button or input box)

The Window commands apply to gadgets as well. Just use whatever you named your editbox. For instance:

window set text ChatTextBox, ""

That sets the text of my textbox ChatTextBox to an empty string. So use Hide Window.

I've tested a tip to go around the status bar auto width fix.
I've added variable for last width and height and if changed he rebuild the status bar.

How can we destroy a edit box after we use button?
There is a destroy or delete command?

Thx for help.

Edit : I understand now that all "gadgets" are like windows, so to close a button, just use close window and other.
So repaint will be "Paint menu" and go on.

Ok now all is going.
I found a bug i think, i tried to use some of LISTVIEW command to try to get it work, but nothing.

LSV_LIST, LSV_REPORT, etc.
It wasn't stable, it runs or not runs (most of times) when it want.

Another thing we need, i think is to change the colors of text and trasparency in labels and in some other features, like in the TREEVIEW.

Great work Boy, you are giving us the possibility to grow and learn much.

Waiting for you.

Sorry if i'm the one posting, but i'm working on a project of a game and other things so i'm testing this plugin totally.

I discovered that the problem on the LISTVIEW is only on the main window cause in the secondary it work more stable.
In the main it create the view but don't show the items.
So i will use the treeview to go around the problem and i will test the treeview too.

I'm developing a messenger that will be moved in a MMORPG game project and used as stand alone.
I already developed the server side for linux, and work charm.

I wanted to use the listview like the list of firends connected on the main win.

I will give you news, and with the help of Brandy Boy i think this will be the greatest plugin.

Long life to dark basic!!

Same here. But my GUI and all my images look really bad in windowed full screen, because of the resolution. Then my gadgets are all mis-aligned. Is there anyway around this? I guess we have to wait for Brendy Boy.

I'm just saying that for instance, my background image at my main menu is 1024x768. That works fine with this and if it was in fullscreen exclusive:



If I switched to(thats how I assume you do it):


It looks terrible because it's stretching because of the maximize window. I guess have a couple options. Stick with a windows based GUI and redo my images, or write a GUI that isnt Windows based.

I discovered some other bugs.
I'm trying to create a menu that come out or disappear when i press HOME buttone, like the one in the MSN messenger pressing ALT.

Well, when i try DELETE MENU function it say that isn't present in the DLL.
Can we have a change state for enable or disable menu view?

If i find others i will notice to you.

Thx for fixing the other bugs. You are the best!

Ok, we miss another important thing : TREEVIEW GET DOUBLE CLICKED ITEM if we can have it is a great thing.

Treeview has already icons implemented better than the listview one, so we can use it to do some multi nested list with icons and so finally clickable double times.

Thx Brandy Boy.

It seems that i forgot to add style parameter to make trackbar command. Temporary solution for that is: make trackbar as usual and then do this: window set style trackbar_handle,window get style(trackbar_handle)||TBS_VERT
At the beginning of you code add this: #constant TBS_VERT 0x0002

I will fix that for the next update.

do this: window set style label_handle,window get style(label_handle)||SS_RIGHT
At the beginning of your code add this: #constant SS_RIGHT 0x00000002

This are all alignments that are possible:
#constant SS_LEFT 0x00000000
#constant SS_CENTER 0x00000001
#constant SS_RIGHT 0x00000002


As for problems where gui staff isn't visible in fullscreen exclusive mode - i don't know a solution for that.
If you want full screen with the gui visible use fulldesktop as a screen type and remove set window on command.

I code 18 hour a day so i'm always connected.

Greetings again!!!



Edit: there is a way to set all windows inside a window centered related to the main win without using WINDOW SET POSITIONS on every WM_SIZE the loop catch?

I'm woriking to give help to Brandy, reading some on MSDN site.
Ok another thing i think is important is the trasparency on the controls.
See images to see the work i'm doing and what is to add:



Checkbox is not transparent.



And this is the work i done after the big work on the server side in linux.
I go round some problems, so i added a toolbar to start to chat with the selected friend in the list, but i think we do better with the double clicked in the treeview.
I choosed treeview cause i think is best than the listview in this case.

I tried to see if there are some CB_ style to add with the SET WINDOW STYLE but they not work, mybe i don't understand where the code are posted in the MSDN site.

Hmm. That basically did what I did earler with the maximize window thing. It looks yucky because of my image res compared to my monitor res. Thanks Brendy boy for your help. I guess Ill have to think of something.

Edit: If anyone can think of a way to use this in fullscreen exclusive mode, please let me know

I will do some try for fullscreen, and i will let you know.

For the rest:
I've done some routine to refresh all Messenger window by handle:

function RefreshWindow(handle got from get event)
window set width,height window set position
depending on the main_win widht, height
on WM_SIZE
end function

for the moment i'm going around the problem in this way, we will see if Brandy can put inside an auto arrange related to the main_win or the win where the "windows" are.

This is my hint for the moment.

The color format imagelist uses is ILC_COLOR8. This is a description of that format from visual studio: Use an 8-bit DIB section. The colors used for the color table are the same colors as the halftone palette.
Currently you can only add bitmap files to imagelist. You can't save the contents of an imagelist to a hard drive.
