I don't know if it's any use, but I think if you look *here* there is some visual designer code you can download.

I've modified Nico's code a bit to show how to colour the background. I've not coloured individual items in this, but I think it should be easy enough to work out from this. Hope it helps. Global hBrush1
Global hBrush2
Global Hstatus

;THESE ARE THE TWO BACKGROUND COLOURS
hBrush1 = CreateSolidBrush ...

I'm not an expert, but I understood that RegisterWindowMessage should always be used.
Say for example that you are sending a pointer to a string between two programs using #WM_User+17 (directly, not broadcasting it). Suppose another program is broadcasting a pointer to a function and is also using ...

There's a help file you can download that covers most of the api commands, which seems pretty good. I think its the one *here* (if I'm right then the help file is in English)

I'd also reccomend using user-defined messages. But if you are going to use them, don't forget to use RegisterWindowMessage_() to avoid trouble.

No, zero doesn't work for me. You'll need #Winding (2) or #Alternate (1). Not sure what the distinction is to be honest.

Seems to work fine for me. Using the code OpenWindow(0,0,0,400,400,#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered,"Test")

Dim Array.Point(3)

Array(0)\x=12
Array(0)\y=12
Array(1)\x=100
Array(1)\y=31
Array(2)\x=120
Array(2)\y=150
Array(3)\x=43
Array(3)\y=230

Thanks fweil, didn't spot that. I can't really take credit for it being nice code though, I used Sparkie's from above and then modified it.

Try this code

; --> get default menu check-mark bitmap size
menuImageWidth = GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CXMENUCHECK)
menuImageHeight = GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CYMENUCHECK)
Global menuImageWidth, menuImageHeight

Procedure menuImage(subMenu, iID, ico)
; --> Extract an icon

Ok then, more of a challenge :) This code's a bit messy (the minimising bit) but I was in a hurry. You should just be able to force the window to redraw. RunProgram("calc")
Delay(1000)

hWnd=FindWindow_(0,"Calculator")
style=GetWindowLong_(hWnd,#GWL_STYLE)
style=style!#WS_SYSMENU
SetWindowLong_(hWnd ...

Try running this No close/minimise buttons in the corner

Yeah, I never got all this anti-Mac stuff. I used a PC right up until a few months ago and now I'm using a Mac. All I can say is that they seem pretty damn good to me. Don't get me wrong, PCs are good too, and cheaper, but I really enjoy using OSX. Little things like pressing F9 and all the open ...

I agree, this would be something nice, especially if it was cross-platform.

Here's a nice tip I picked up from Sparkie.

Gadget_Constant = GetDlgCtrlID_(Gadget_hWnd) is an api command that inputs the api handle to a gadget and then outputs the PB corresponding constant.

Doesn't really solve your problem but is basically the getPBNumber(#number) command.

I thought I'd seen a tip for this. El_Choni gave some code for saving as tiff *here* Although I think there is a dependency for non-XP that would need to be included.
