In the spirit of giving back to the community, I thought I would post this system for those who might find it helpful. It does nothing as is, however it is fully commented, and combines many systems from the codebase into one modular type system. You can remove as you like, and should be able to add in as well.

It uses no dll's that are not already on the end users computer.

It features:
Menu system (via user32.dll)
Msgbox system (via user32.dll)
INI File support (via kernel32.dll)
Windows style GUI system
CRC32 checksum system

Again, Ive left full credit to those who created the original systems. I have just taken the various ones, put them together in a very clean format, and fully commented it for understanding and for those who want to remove some part or another.

Hope this helps you out if you are trying to do things other than games with DBP. Or even need a little utility in your game. Note, all of this can be done cleaner and smaller (final executable) with Visual Basic or C++ etc, but we are using DBP.

Let me know if you have questions,

Add-on: The reason i posted it was because as changed, the system now has a small main.dba that is the main portion of the program, makign it much easier to read and trace function of the code.

ReD, what problems are you having?

Open UtilBase.dbpro which is the project file, then it should just work. What errors are you receiving?

You should probably put a post in the Program Announcements board. You'll get a little more notice there

I stuck it on the codebase too, bout all I can do, and its not that huge, I just thought it useful to have those different packages all in one neat set using functions and such.

But ill do one more post.
