Well I try to create a loupe program (proof of concept...).
The first step: copy an area of the dektop to memory is done with WinAPI.
(no PureBasic command)
But AFAIK the only way to show this image is with an ImageGadget.
That works, but I can't change the Image on this gadget and this is bad, really bad.
(when you move the mouse you get normally a different image...)

With an old version of another basic language I need only 2 commands for it! No API calls!

The next step is to magnify the image. How is this possible with PureBasic?

BTW:
ImageGadget(#Gadget, x, y, Width, Heigth, ImageID)
ImageGadget -> The gadget dimension autofit the image size...
Why is there a Width and Heigth variable when calling this command?
It,s not used anyway.

Little update for whom is interested:

this is finished and works fine with WinAPI.
I can display the magnified image on an ImageGadget or on the Window background.

And now the bad thing:
To change the Window background seems to be really slow and it doesn't work allways properly. (moving the mouse and so forth results in new images...)
ImageGadget doesn't allow to change the image.


I don't like to look back a lot of years and to say: "It was so easy with..."

Conclusion:
More commands needed!

You must be more patient with PureBasic... it's written only by Fred and takes
time. Don't expect overnight miracles -- it's not easy writing a programming
language while also trying to please everyone. Go easy on him.

You have totally right
Don't want to discourage anyone, sorry Fred... take it easy!

Just downloaded 2v9 and I will take a look at it, thanks Fred.

As long as PNG makes it in, I'm good.

I'd like to see some 'image strip' type support vice using CLIPSPRITE. At least it can be worked around.
