Honestly, you did in your inital code and you are right. Your updated code is 64-bit ready.

The image looks very cool.
Thanks for sharing.

Well, I like the 0 to 100% value better than 0 to 255, but it is up to you of cause.

One more thing I forgot to mention: you should always check the data type (especially for Windows handles). Older codes often use the extension .l, which can cause problems on 64-bit systems.

BTW: Now your ...

Nice, thanks for sharing.

Just a small hint: your reference links about Windows Transparency are very old.

The question is how can I use them with the IDE values.
The help shows me this, but I don't have the IDE-internal counter values.

Using the command line compiler with source code that contains the following line results in an error.
#ProgramVersion$ = "0." + #PB_Editor_BuildCount + "." + #PB_Editor_CompileCount

I've thrown together the following for this message.

ok, I forgot.

the mousewheel message gives you the following button states as well

After a quick look at your code, here are some pointers.

That's cool.

..... and because I'm curious.
Just a few questions that pop into my head when I hear/read about improvements.
Do you have a process for selecting from the (long) forum wish list?
Or are there completely different observations/insights that lead to new features?
What are the criteria ...

okay, new try based on my code from above.
Now, after open the Dropdownlist with LeftClick you can use either Left or Right Mouse Click to do the selection.
Easier to show than to describe.
Anyway the result is in the main loop. (I borrowed the #PB_Eventtype_RightClick for that)
Please bear in ...

There must be reasons why Fred hasn't implemented it in the first place. However, I don't know what they are.

Well, he should have mentioned that we already discussed this in another post.
