Have you ever seen this Done in MaxGUI

Click here to download!

Are you drawing gadgets directly to the Desktop? Although I like the idea, I'm not sure that it will work on Mac or Linux...

how about a screenshot?
Just a zip is kind of ... you know

It is my first Attempt at HOOKs
The action (LOL) is controlled by the events
There is only one line of code in the Main Loop Wait Event()

Repeat
Wait Event()
Forever

Oh Gav I'm liking it!

When completely using hooks, use WaitSystem() instead of WaitEvent() in your main loop! You will no longer need the BRL.EventQueue module (although it's not going to make that much of a difference to your overall EXE size).

Just a little tip!

Thanks SebHoll; Changes made

I have used the same technique to put a clock on the App Title bar.

Hooks are cool.

Very cool

Im making an animated Application Icon now.... Will Post a Demo soon.
Have you ever seen an animated App Icon before? you will soon.... Im thinking of writing a collection of Demos and a Preprocessor with Modules for Injecting code to do this stuff, The preprocessor is mostly functional, But this is almost over my head until I experiment abit more.

I a New-e to MaxGUI really.

Application icon in the title bar, or application icon on the desktop?

Back in the windows 3.x days there was a program that would animate your desktop icons. You wouldn't *believe* how slow that was on a 386SX with 2MB RAM. :-?

Application Icon in the title bar

By the way -- this pong thing really is pretty interesting, and I can think of a couple of other things where this could be really useful -- e.g. automatic updating system status stuff in the background, or a calendar, or...

Any change you may release the source code for this one?

Im a Commodore64 programmer LOL, so you might laugh at me.

Hey, horrible spaghetti code still beats "no code at all", by a long shot!

You might want to use canvas's instead It will be more adaptable

Can anyone compile this for Mac or Lynx? Can you send me a copy? No changes please, just for my work (b)log

After removing the win32 framework line it works on Ubuntu 7

WOW - Hey is there a MAC emulator that can be used on WinXP to compile my MaxGUI stuff, Then I could make multiplatform APPs and see stuff like this for myself.

It appears the gadgets arent being displayed as a TOOL window.

yes osx86 project

http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

it's not an emulator , I don't think so, but I tried it and work well on my pc, can compile program in Intel mac version.

It's run faster then my Mac PowerBook lol
