Links to ProGUI are dead.

Yes, I am sorry, my domain provider did some changes so that www.forgesoft.net is currently not available.
But http://chris.forgesoft.de should work.

I figured out why it did not work. When I use the ProGUI Userlib, everything works fine but when I am trying to use ProGUI via the DLL the program execution stops/crashes at this line:
ProGUI = OpenLibrary(#PB_Any, "ProGUI.dll")

Edit:

Soner, do the examples work when compiled with the userlib or do they just crash with the dll?

lol, I did not read this message, sorry.

Hi guys!

Just had a little breather from ProGUI, i'll be adding some more stuff to it soon

Soner: was the ProGUI.dll in your windows\system32 dir? If so there's a small bug where ProGUI fetches the incorrect path to itself when it starts and the md5 check fails and shuts down. I'll fix this in the next update

Cheers!

Hey guys!

Here's a quick progress report on the current build I'm working on:

PanelEx's are now double-buffered and can have a gradient as the background instead of a theme. Background image can be repeated horizontally, vertically or tiled (as well as centred horizontally/vertically or positioned absolute). A panel page can now also have a border based on a passed image with full alpha transparency and optional mask for some really cool effects. Panels within panels have full alpha transparency support also so you could have a semi-transparent panel inside another panel and the background of the parent panel will show through on the child. All this is flicker free when resizing the PanelEx too!

TextcontrolEx now has multi line support and when inside a panel, draws directly to panel's buffer (flicker free and works with the new cool alpha effects of the panel!)

New ImageButtonEx with full alpha, normal, hot, pressed and disabled image states. As with the TextcontrolEx when inside a panel, draws directly to panel's buffer!

Cheers!

Chris.

Am I missing something with ShowRebarBand? It doesn't appear to do anything for me... any ideas?

Sorry, figured it out

Hey Chris,
did you fix the "bug" in the dll-version? Would be great because InstallForge is still waiting.

Hey man!

V1.12 should be ready in a couple of days

Chris.

I can't open a progui popupmenu without at least one progui "normal" menu or toolbar... Is this impossible to achive or am I just too stupid? (let's bet on the second).

Oh Bugger! yep I've confirmed the bug and you're not too stupid (I am lol). Thanks for reporting this, it'll be fixed in the new release

Heres a screen shot of the new interface for my file sharing program DCC Manager showing off what's possible with the new PanelEx, TextControlEx and ImageButtonEx code. (it's not actually downloading that movie, it's just a mock-up so please don't flame lol) :-



The main transfers window is a PanelEx with a gradient as background, centered png logo with alpha and an alpha drop shadow border. The file window is another PanelEx inside the transfers PanelEx and has a semi-transparent gradient as background and a border with mask. All this with about 5 lines of code

can't wait

Hi,

ProGUI userlib versions seems not yet to be compliant to PB 4.40 (POLINK error with unresolved external symbal 'SYS_AllocateString'). When will it be fixed? Maybe in 1.12? *can'twait*

Hi man! Sorry for the delay I'm currently crashing on a m8s floor because I had to move house last Friday. However, I've completed all the code for the new release, docs and almost completed updating the examples so I'll have it ready any-time now

Cheers!

Chris.
