Small WinBlitz3D Test

Hi

Ive Uploaded a little test to see how it functions on other peoples pc. this example is in .dll form for now, it enables gadgets directly onto blitz3d's runtime window. theres not much functionality.

Please read the readme in the .zip

download here.

Works fine for me.

No problem here.

All good here too...

Thumbs up here. And your test is directly responsible.

Works here.

Nice, but since some of us did this 2 years ago, show us some controls that are the diffucult ones: Keystrokes to Text boxes and menus.

There's a problem getting that stable. Problem was originally solve by somebody, by installing a keyboard hook, and running translate message and such from there.

Before that we had:
http://home.tiscali.dk/scheutz/blitz/bbwincon/bbwincon.zip

which was ok but not good enough really.

This might be fun too: http://home.tiscali.dk/scheutz/blitz/kidnap/kidnap.zip

thanks guys,

Peter the examples are like that of early WinBlitz3D before i stopped using .dll and coded it fully in blitz3d. using the asm custom winproc. the example will if everything works will also be ported using the same method.

i will look into the menus's and edit boxes, well ive allready been looking into edit boxes keydown messages. and like you say this is going to be a problem. but maybe using SetWindowsHook on the WH_KEYBOARD message might be possable.

in the above example's is the runtime window made a child to a main window?

kev

below is PoweBasic code, for a dll, That I *think* made Blitz proces the keystrokes, so that they came throug, and it was possible to catch them in a subclass procedure.

#Compile Dll "d:\blitz3d\userlibs\bbhook.dll"


#Include "WIN32API.INC"

Global gKBHook As Long


Function LibMain(ByVal hInstance As Long, _
                 ByVal Reason    As Long, _
                 ByVal Reserved  As Long) _
                 Export As Long

  Select Case Reason
    Case %DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH
      LibMain = 1
      Exit Function
    Case %DLL_PROCESS_DETACH
      Exit Function
    Case %DLL_THREAD_ATTACH
      Exit Function
    Case %DLL_THREAD_DETACH
'
      Exit Function
  End Select

  LibMain = 0   'failure!
End Function

Function KeyboardHookProc(ByVal code As Long,ByVal wParam As Dword ,lParam As tagmsg) As  Dword
    'Static Msg As tagMsg

    If code<0 Then
           Function= CallNextHookEx(gKBHook,code,wParam,lParam)
           Exit Function
    Else


       '    Call getMessage( lParam, %NULL, 0, 0 ) '= %FALSE 'Then
        If lParam.message=%WM_KEYDOWN Then

        TranslateMessage lParam
        DispatchMessage lParam

        End If


    End If

End Function

Function hook  Alias "hook" (bank1 As Dword) Export As Long
     MsgBox "hooked " & Str$(gKBHook)
    gKBHook=SetWindowsHookEx(%WH_GETMESSAGE,CodePtr(KeyboardHookProc),0,GetCurrentThreadID())

End Function

Function unhook  Alias "unhook" (bank1 As Dword) Export As Long
    UnhookWindowsHookEx gKBHook
    MsgBox "unhooked"
End Function

damn kev, you the man, it works great

using winblitz3d's includes menus ive put a little demo showing menus/buttons in the runtime window.

	FlushGUIEvents
	
	Flip
	
Wend

FreeGadget button
EndGraphics
EndGUI 
Print "bye, press any mouse button"
MouseWait
End

this functions ok here on my pc, anyone wont to give it a try.

"WinBlitzGUI nor found" - and that's after downloading the latest via your link above. ???

WinBlitz3D_Include.bb needs to be in the same folder as the example. you need the WinBlitz3DTest.zip and WinBlitz3D.zip available in my sig

"available in my sig"?

When I click on your name all I see is an email address.

john, winblitz3d.zip the include files can be downloaded here http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/blitzbasic/WinBlitz3D.zip

and you would need the .dll test available here.

hope this helps.
