Using Blitz3D with Blitz+

I remember hearing that it was possible to use use th GUI functionalities of Blitz+ to control a Blitz3D application. I assume that this is somehow done by using the CommandLine command, but am not sure exactly how it is done. Can anyone help?

As for CommandLine, I fail to see any way of utilising that to get two Blitz programs co-operating with each ither.

yes its possible all you need to do is have the GUI write to a text file and have b3d read from it to get the comamnds.

Hmmm, thanks guys, but could anyone possibly show me an easier example of how to use it please?

easier? this cant be done any easier way

heres an idea, i wrote some code that grabs a blitz bank address in memory.

here the example grabs a strings address, to simply grab a banks address we simply pass the bank and modify the .decs to use banks.

ok, execute blitz3d app then using grab bank addr function get the banks address then write the address to a file then execute blitz+ app next load the saved file that contains the address of the bank. next create a bank in blitz+ and point the address to that loaded from the blitz3d file. this could be done using a method simular to the grab bank addr function. or possable using RtlCopyMemory

should i attempt this? any ideas what speed and usage?
