As much as I'm sure we all appreciate the update Fred... You are still doing it... You are adding new little tidbits without fixing (and I do consider it a fix) the LACK of standard windows gadgets.

First and foremost on the list... SCROLLBARS

Purebasic is suffering from some seriously immense scope-creep right now. :/

I agree to that 100% all other basic languages have ScrollBars in them.

It's on my priority list right now:

- Scrollbar
- EditorGadget

Any others wanted ?

Ok, these are no new Gadgets, but some things I'd like to see though...

- A GadgetItemID() Command for TreeGadget (to get that handle to an Item in the TreeGadget)
- The ability to insert Items anywhere in the tree with AddGadgetItem()

This would make TreeGadget more flexible and easier tu use with the API
(For now, I always create a TreeView Control with CreateWindowEx_() and handle everything myself.)

Is there any chance of more native PB commands for listIconGadgets and Treeviews? just search the forum for stuff people use these for.
for example:

In love with PureBasic!

Fred, the only Gadget that comes to my mind (that is not already mentioned) is the 'Outlook Gadget'.
You know that thingy that is sitting on the left side and has some buttons on it.
But I don't know if it's easy to do it for the Linux version too, because I suppose that you want - one fine day - source compatibility also with Gadgets...

Have a nice day...

But the editor (RTF) box is important too... Others are window dressing, but would be nice like "coolbars" style toolbars.

Ah yes, the "side menu"... or "slider menu". That would add functionality that brings the "gadgets" into the 21st century at least.

He could get real fancy too and add XP style gadgets (skinnable for the most part). But then we get into scope-creep again. The slider-menu is a good one though.

Dockable windows would be nice too... even though they don't really fall under the "gadgets" list. But these are all things that you expect to see in a modern app. Dockable windows, detachable/dockable toolbars, side/slider menus, etc.

Take a look at OfficeXP for some "newer" type gadgets.

AutoInit! Automatically initializes the keyboard, screen, etc when the appropriate command is first used. For example,
KBAvail = ExamineKeyboard() ; Returns true or false. If the result is not needed, then a dummy variable could be used (or, if PB allows it, use the 'discard return' way of calling it:
ExamineKeyBoard() ; The result is discarded.

Not really necessary, but I'm a little lazy and I forget to initialize things all the time

Whoops! I did two things wrong. I put this in the wrong topic and I forgot to say that AutoInit would be a switch command or a command that would be placed at the top of the code to instruct PB to not require initialization. (I'm just not used to initializing commands beforehand, even though it really is a good idea).

Definitely... An easy way to implement MDI is a must.
