Loads of improvements on the Grid Gadget, added combo box and checkbox support.
Fixed quite a few things as well as improved the API, too!

Thanks.

Hello Polo,
Do you intend to publish the code and when would it be possible ?

No, the source code is commercial, sorry!

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I was just wondering where the story ends... Can one acquire this control kit now? Thanks.

I still haven't found a way to package it easily as a lib or dll without having to sell the source code I'm afraid!

Difference between a header and the source code. If you create an interface of important functions using ProcedureDLL : EndProcedureDLL you can use various pointers that need to be added to each call.
This is your secret source code:
Code: Select all
;
; GridGadget Source Example:
;
ProcedureDLL GridGadget(x, y, Width, Height)
MessageRequester("GridGadget", "Noone knows what is happening here!")
...
; install secret bitcoin mining software.
...
ProcedureReturn *result
EndProcedure
You would release this header together with the .dll and .obj (for simple importing) to the public:
Code: Select all
;
; GridGadget Header Example:
;
Import "GridGadget.obj"
GridGadget(x, y, Width, Height, ...)
SetGridGadgetText(*MyGridGadget, ...)
EndImport
#GRIDGADGET_UGLY = 0
#GRIDGADGET_DETAILED = 1
And the public can then begin using it without knowing about the bitcoin miner:
Code: Select all
;
; Random code by users:
;
IncludeFile "GridGadget.pb"
*MyGridGadget = GridGadget(x, y, Width, Height, #GRIDGADGET_DETAILED, ...)
SetGridGadgetText(*MyGridGadget, ...)
We would have all the procedures, important constants and be able to use the library while your product remains closed-source.
I would be very interested in this gadget too if you ever decide to release a library as the quality is outstanding and looks very impressive.
Edit:
Although I am pretty sure you are well aware of this already by looking at your post count and product =]

I don't mind selling the source but it's obviously at a high price considering the hundreds of hours I put into it!
The problem with doing what you described is that it does not work, as I use Purebasic canvas and it does not work properly when put into a DLL or library on OS X

Most of Gadget functions work only on main scope.
The best way is to draw and update owner gadget with canvas to use BindEvent and BindGadgetEvent...

I haven't had much time to work on it recently - the grid is used in the Purebasic IDE for the form designer properties panel to see an example in action (it's fully crossplatform, not just for Windows).
I did sell the source to one or two users who were interested.

The way all grid gadgets of PB go... dodo vanished. About time PB includes a decent one out of the box instead of reinventing the wheel squarely every time.
