I needed some requester on a screen so I decided to add some window-functionality to my screen gadget lib.

These functions are new: Here is a little demo of the windows with some gadgets



and here you can find the source code and the compiled demo (87k zipped)
http://purebasic.stdojedmahr.de/projekt ... etDemo.zip

The source is written for PB 4.2

If someone is using Linux, maybe (s)he can test the code under linux, if it runs. (I hope so, but have no change of testing it). Same with Mac.

I have use a rather old PC, so the fps (upper left corner) are more or less low. Can someone post his configuration and fps?

I got 52 fps with the demo.

If someone found any bugs, please report.

thanks~~@_@

Hi,

tested on Mac Intel PB 4.30b4. Following problems occured:

558 - constant not found #SG_BackgroundColor
730 - constant not found #SG_BackgroundImage
4381 - constant not found #SG_ListIcon_ChangeColumnWidth
5745 - constants not found #PB_FileSystem_ReadOnly and such
59xx - constant not founds #SG_BackgroundTransparent and such, following four lines
76xx - constants not found #SG_BackgroundTransparent and such

(xx occured because I removed some lines of code, as I thought the problem with
the constants would not occure again )

Keyword EXTRN does not work. Put $0 into every missing constant, removed EXTRN from

Procedure.l ScreenWidth()
!EXTRN _PB_Screen_Width
!MOV Eax, [_PB_Screen_Width]
ProcedureReturn
EndProcedure
Procedure.l ScreenHeight()
!EXTRN _PB_Screen_Height
!MOV Eax, [_PB_Screen_Height]
ProcedureReturn
EndProcedure

Crashes a few seconds after start.

Best Regards,

SG_SetActiveWindow(WindowNr_L.l) ; sets the currently active window
SG_IsWindow(SG_WindowID_L.l) ; returns 0, if the window does not exist, else a value <> 0 (= Window ID)
SG_GetWindowBackGround(WindowNr_L.l) ; returns the background of the window   - 0 = no Background   1= Color  2 = image
SG_GetWindowBackgroundDetail(WindowNr_L.l) ; returns the Backround - Value (Color or imageID)

Thx jamirokwai for testing it on mac.

The constants was my fault. I forgot the redident-file. I will add it on monday.

But I dont have any idea why "Extern" does not work? Is a "feature" with PB - Mac?

What is the advantage of a window manager that can't leave the window? Maybe for games.

Sorry, I didnt understand what you mean. Can you explain a bit more?

I would say not exactly for games, but for editors, filerequesters without having to close full screen, and in general any windows-like management needed some times in permanent fullscreens.

It is useful to me, thanks!
Waiting for those constants

@Psychophanta

I uploaded the File again, now with the resident file.
Hope that it will work now

Yes, it works. Many thanks!

When I watch video files in MPC in full-screen I can load a click-menu / file requester that looks like standard Winforms stuff without leaving fullscreen?

Is that a fake fullscreen or something?

yes.
