ProGUI V1.38 UI Library (Small Bug Fix)

[PrincieD]

Great! This is definitely one step forward for me to actually buy it.

!

I'm asking about having to distribute the dll/serial because I'm seriously concerned about some bad guy stealing my registration key. I mean it would be pretty easy - even for a newbie hacker - to simply look where the init function is and which registration values are passed?!

Yes, I've been thinking about maybe having some kind of hash macro in the include file? but then again I think if the bad guy were to release some software that uses ProGUI with a key that belongs to someone else then he'd be in trouble lol (not difficult to see if a program is using ProGUI). The dll is adequately protected I think, kind of in the goldilocks zone for being too difficult for newbies and too easy for crackers and if they want it that badly for free then let them have it (again, if they try releasing commercial software it would be a good move for them to buy a legit license) .

That is the only reason I purchased the Gold version. There are too many criminals in the world that are not properly dealt with (firing squad)

I've been talking about it for a while now, and I decided to do it while I had the cash.

Just bought ProGUI Platinum..... so get working on those upgrades

Thank you very much Zach! I really appreciate it!!

so get working on those upgrades

hehe will do, already have a new ToggleButtonEx working in the pre-release build, checkbox and radiocheck will follow shortly

Thanks mate!

Cool..

Just wondering, are we able to use Internal PB gadgets within ProGUI windows (i.e Stick a Tree-view on a PanelEx), or at least do this with API calls?

Yea sure no problem that's why the PanelEx is such a powerful control, I've spent a lot of time making sure other controls will work seamlessly with ProGUI although none ProGUI controls won't be as quick at rendering and won't have any layered alpha effects. If you take a look at the PanelExample, PureBasic gadgets are mixed with ProGUI controls inside the PanelEx including even a web gadget! (if you resize the window while pressing the Function keys on your keyboard is fun )

Yeah I've been looking over the examples a little bit, glad to know I can still use stuff if I need it.

It is a relief as well, because if I am careful I can write my GUI elements in a way where I could swap them out with minimal effort as your own set of Gadgets grows.
But at the very least, its interoperable.


Now if only I had art skills for making fancy icons

hehe maybe I should write some tutorials on how to quickly knock-up good looking skins/icons/art, there's lots of good free-ware icon packs on the net though which you can use for your apps or modify slightly

[Zach]

Yeah I was looking for some generic stuff earlier and found several which had tons of Icons.. Unfortunately the ones I liked were either too small or too general

Tutorials on making your own (maybe even with Vectors) would probably help a lot of people out

Went to buy it, Paypal says the exchange rate makes it $52.06... holy cow! lol. I am going to wait till the end of next month to purchase that baby. (Platinum)

[Zach]

Thanks X yea the exchange rate sucks at the moment, I wish I could move somewhere other than England where living is cheaper (everything is so expensive!). It's all very well and good the British Pound being a strong currency but when you have to live here it's not good, especially when your income is in Euros and Dollars

Where's the universal currency! it's 2011 god damn it!

Looks like Gold or Food will be the next major currencies.
