Take a look at the commercial PureVision from Reelmedia.

I guess there is no more maintenance from the creator of this nice library. Pity.

Not to worry about re-draw after resizing etc, unlike the use of Windowoutput(). So, your drawing remains intact in the canvas. I am not familiair with windows api for keeping drawings intact.

This works nice. You can put the image inside canvasgadget or imagegadget. No need for windows-api, only PB and Pdfium.

I get them from: https://pdfium.patagames.com/help/html/d88c90b3-bbfa-5d07-ea93-e8809d3d257a.htm

Be aware that their commercial dll seems to be bigger than the free one from https://github.com/pvginkel/PdfiumViewer

This free dll, made from open source google/foxit with Apache2 license, has less ...

The image seems to be the problem. If you draw a simple line or a box, then you will see it's working just fine (don't forget to make the canvas empty before each new frame).

Great Starbootics ! I am looking forward for your result.

I confirm it's working just fine. This library is no problem for PB !

You are asking a lot. PureVision is still nice to use. The formbuilder inside PB also. I suggest you just start with Listicon. It's a nice gadget for collecting and arranging data. Many great examples have been posted on this forum. With this you can set up something similar as Thunderbird.

Thanks a lot Acreis.

I guess my biggest mistake is not putting p-utf8 in documentpath (althrough I do not understand why it's necessary) and I did not use InitLibrary() as it should. Are you familiar with Pdfium and all the function-arguments?

I can continue my research now.

Due to lack of help-files I use information from https://pdfium.patagames.com/help/html/d88c90b3-bbfa-5d07-ea93-e8809d3d257a.htm. Patagames use this library too, for their .net application. Only ...

Never heard of Pdfium before so I looked it up.

Here are 2 github repos that might be of help:
https://github.com/hfiguiere/pdfium
https://github.com/pvginkel/PdfiumViewer

In github repo PdfiumViewer under PdfiumViewer/Libraries/Pdfium/ there are Windows DLLs ready to be used.

That's right Alexi. An independent system with full control, every pixel.

As far as I know a background image inside a treegadget is not possible. Then you have to use windows api for get it done, but I have no experience with this.

Google's opensource Pdfium seems to be a promising library for bringing a real PDF viewer inside an PB application on all OS. It has Foxit software inside. But inspite of being opensource, I can not find understandable documentation and code, except for pages about wxWidgets and their use of Pdfium ...
