Maxgui does not work - why?

Hi, I installed from scratch Blitzmax 1.30, and then i copied the MaxGUI 1.30 mod directory to the program folder. (all on windows xp)
Looks like this:
C:\Program Files\BlitzMax\mod\maxgui.mod
and there are the folders maxgui.mod, win32maxgui.mod and so on.

But if I try to compile this:

Mywindow:TGadget=CreateWindow("Mywindow Title", 200,200,320,240)

Repeat
	WaitEvent()
Until EventID()=EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE

End

i get: Compile Error - Identifier 'TGadget' not found.

What could be wrong?


Thanks in advance, Gregor

Ps.: The same procedere, but with the blitz3dsdk mod works, but maxgui not.
pps.: please ignore my bad english *g*

I just had the same problem. You need to add "Import MaxGUI.Drivers" after "strict", but before any GUI calls (i.e., at the top, in your example).

Ah, fine!
Thank you!

The examples delivered with blitzmax should be updated then ;)

They should all be corrected... If you find one that isn't, then please do let us know. I thought sliderthing was the only sample that suffered from this problem, but this has since been fixed in the BlitzMax SVN repository.

None of the MaxGUI tutorials feature the "Import MaxGUI.Drivers" call, as far as I can tell. Might be worth adding - I had to do some digging to find the solution.

Maybe its already in the svn, but i dont have the time to try out using the svn things. ;)
But with this information it all should go okay with the official builds.

Glad someone already brought this up. It should definitely be documented in the changes for 1.30 somehow.
