Window's window lib

I have a little question: can we use windows' window library in blitz3d?
I want to use Windows'lib 'cause i wanna have something like this in my application:



What i need to do?

You can access the windows API with userlibs, but Blitz3D is not supporting the Windows Abstract Tool Kit (Windows Gui) natively. You may try WinBlitz, this is a Gui Library that hooks the Blitz3D window as a child. Here's the Library:

You could also use BlitzPlus for this kind of Interface.

Alternatively there are some non-system GUIs, most of them support Menus and Tabs, like in your picture. They may look not exactly the same. Check the GUI Section of the Toolbox.

Ok, thanks for the answer.

I realized that i can't use BlitzPlus because it doesn't has 3d commands.
Oh, and I downloaded the WinBlitz Lib, but it keeps saying that in the winblitz3d_include.bb some functions couldn't be found.

Did you copy the file "WinBlitz3D_n0dll.decls" to your "userlib" folder?

Oh, i didn't do that. I'll do it now.

Well the .decls is aparently working, but now it needs a user32.dll .

...

I know it´s the window's user32.dll, but the .decl file isn't recognizing it.

Oh, and Conan:
Why do you even bother posting "..." if you're not helping anybody?

BlizUI has all those features... is very simple message based UI and I like it.

jfk - is this one of yours, or are you just holding a copy for download?

I had high hopes for WinBlitz3D but even now (a year after I first downloaded it?) half the examples literally do nothing, most appear to have a picture(?) which appears then disappears (loss of focus?), and a couple even cause a non-debug-trappable error.

I really wish the author would finish this properly - I'd be quite happy to pay for it!

Oh, yeah, sorry for the post up there, but i'd posted on the wrong thread, you see... so i erased it. (not against the rules, is it?)

hey Rook, thank you very much for the link. I've downloaded
it and it seems VERY interesting; and it's free!

I decided to stop trying to understand how WinBlitz3d works, because (i think) it's too complicated.

Thank you all for the posts,
Rafael Navega.

John - yes, BLitzWin3D still has some Problems, and the Author said it was the last release. It isn't a finished thing, I agree. But it shows how to use userlibs to get access to some windows stuff, eg. how to hook the Blitz Window onto an other processes window. Well, I wrote a little App with it some time ago, and I had to fix several little bugs (or let's say work around them). But basicly it works, can be used for some apps. (see: TextureWobbler).

No Problemo Amigo... Buen Suerte! I have been fiddling with WinBlitz3d and couldn't make a go... I have code to use blitzUI and if the message system seems complicated at first just post for help. : )

Not promising that I know ANYTHING but someone will!
