Console Gadgets?

Hello!

I like the possibility of creating console apps with ease in PB. However, one thing I really miss is the possibility to add console gadgets to a console. I know a console can have a Menu, Button, Scrollbar, ComboBox and something else. I want to know if they are already possible to add to a console, and if not is there some planning in the future to add these possibilities, fred?

Thanks.

DOS times are over... but you can create your own gadgets to a console. you have to draw them yourself with Ascii/Ansi and code your own handling system ^^

Yes, with the graphical console mode it should be possible to draw some 'gadgets'. It's not planned to have a build in support for this in PureBasic as it is not very used.

Ok I see. I just wanted an frontend for my console debugger, but I think I can live without the gadgets.

Thanks anyway.

Google for ncurses.. I havent tried that yet under win but i would imagine its possible to port / interface to it.
