Thanks dude I've sorted them, bloody spam bots!Zach wrote:btw, Chris. your forum is being attacked by spam bots.
Hey mate! yes things have been a bit quiet lately due to me having a bit of a coding slump/coders block but feel ready for the final push now. There's been some compatibility problems with getting the 'masking' system working in a unified way on both the GDI drivers and Direct2D drivers. For example under GDI masks are created using hundreds of pixel sized clipping regions based on a single 'transparent color' which only allows for opaque/fully transparent masks where as Direct2D doesn't support this type of clipping but does a great job on using an alpha mask with varying degrees of transparency (the trouble is there is no way to do this in just GDI). So I think what needs to be done is a combination of GDI and GDI+ to get alpha masks working under the GDI drivers and drop the existing clipping region method. Nothings ever straight forward lolZach wrote:Things have been quiet in ProGUI-land lately.... gearing up for a new release?
which every programmer should know heh
Thanks! trying to get the same effect working in GDI without it crawling is giving me some real headaches thoughZach wrote:Hey man that is pretty cool
It sucks when the dreaded coders block happens, it's like a perpetual cycle of procrastination that's really difficult to get out of. I think the only way to move forward is just to start coding, code anything but just write some lines and hopefully you'll get your 'codejo' backZach wrote:I haven't written any code in Ages either.. kinda feel bad about it, hrmm.. I dunno, just can't seem to get moving I suppose.. But then these things keep happening between my breaks, New PB, new ProGUI, new PB Beta w/New Form Designer Beta and new ProGUI on the horizon!
lol I know I know, me too! and I'm one of the dudes writing the tools lol I wish I could fast forward into the future where it's all done and working nicely hehZach wrote:lol.. I think its one of those "waiting on the tools" deals where the tools are never finished
Bah don't put yourself down mate, we're all clever chaps here! just takes patienceZach wrote:I wish I had half the brain as some of you guys seem to have. You can learn to do all this neat stuff, and know how to work at it.. I'm just struggling to stay interested at times

Thanks for reporting Thomas, yep that's not good lol I'll make sure I rename all the constants with a "#ProGUI_" suffix in the next update.ts-soft wrote:In the resident of ProGUI you have defined:
#background = 30
You use constants without a suffix, names like #background in the resident is not good!
Greetings - Thomas
Zach wrote:Just nitpicking but, "#ProGUI_" is a prefix in this case
hehe yep prefix not suffix I've been thinking of writing some kind of tutorial for a while but it's difficult to know what to base it on as there are so many things that ProGUI could be used for in an applicationakee wrote:Hi PrincieD,
Any possibilities of giving more details in the documentation? I feel it is a little insufficient to quickly get started and running.
The examples cover most of the features of the API and I've designed them to be used as 'templates' which are easy to follow and understand when cross referenced with the help manual.To add a gradient to a PanelEx page, simply pass the returned handle from CreateGradient() (make sure the colours are made using the MakeColour() command) to the Background parameter of AddPanelExImagePage, the DCCManagerUI_Example is a good example of this.akee wrote:I am running through the examples and help file. Tried to add a gradient CreateGradient() to a panel AddPanelExImagePage() but it does not seem to work? -1 to 11 is ok.
Code: Select all
; create main PanelEx
mainPanelEx = CreatePanelEx(#PannelEx_0, WindowID(#Window_0), 0, RebarHeight(rebar), w_width, w_height-RebarHeight(rebar)-23, @myPannelCallback())
; create nice gradient for transfers page backgorund
Gradient = CreateGradient(#VerticalGRADIENT, MakeColour(255, 133, 133, 126), MakeColour(255, 46, 44, 38))
;- create new transfers page
page = AddPanelExImagePage(Gradient, image(43)\normal, 0, 0, 0, 0, #PNLX_CENTRE|#PNLX_VCENTRE)
The SetWindowFont() command is just a WinAPI helper command and is really meant to be used on the HWND returned from a common control not an actual top level window. It isn't really needed for PureBasic just other languages, which of course ProGUI can be used with.akee wrote: BTW SetWindowFont() sets the windows's title bar font or all other gadget fonts from there.
