Re: tried doing a video tutorial

Better to use a .webm video format, it is much more smaller than anything else, with perfect quality.
I have witten (in C++) a freeware screen capture utility that is perfect to produce tutorial from screen capture with sound.

Re: WinLIFT Version 7.00

>>Very interesting, though I find the forum a bit confusing.
This is because the www.objreader.com private forum was first designed for the ObjReader GDImage/OpenGL 3D engine.
However the forum is great for those wanting to render wavefront 3D models in real time,

WinLIFT Version 7.00 Skin Engine

The size of the WinLIFT64.dll is very small (only 129 Kb)

Version 7.00 is now a (paypal) donate-ware version.
Support is available to registered users on www.objreader.com

WinLIFT has been around since more than 24 years,
the subclassing engine is able to skin on the fly a Windows application ...

Re: Is creating an opengl gadget with a transparent background allowing objects behind to be visible possible?

The best solution is to work in DWM composited mode (using the DirectDraw surface).

Here is a video showing a Win32 application working in full composited mode.

The GUI interface is using the WinLIFT64.dll, and the GDImage64.dll.

Message pump

Is it possible to use directly the core Windows API with PB
CreateWindowEx + GetMessage + WindowProc callback

it seems that the C/C++ is supported as long as using specific prefix letters.
Does there is an example of that specific use somewhere around?

And what is the LoadLibrary counterpart?

Re: Integrate TinyC libtcc.lib into PureBasic

No, I don't want to become a purebasic programmer, because I am using only the low level procedural SDK API, that is the only common denominator understood with the different languages I am using.
I never worked with VB6.
About OpenGL I wrote my own 3D engine, and many audio visual plugins ...
