Version 5.0

[Kitty Hello]

Version 5.0 is out now. You must download the SDK, live-update does not work.
You license keys will still work with no restrictions.

Thanks for the update. It installed fine. I hate to mention this but when I tried the DDGui example the dialogs exhibited a strange behaviour. When dragging the dialog in X the title bar gets bigger in X and likewise in Y. This happened on both WinXP and Win2K in VMWare under Ubuntu..
Really like the fact that you have now included MacOS.
Thanks again
Matthew

Hi , I tried the internet update. The download went OK but when installing got to 22% and I got a Visual C++ Runtime Library Error caused by Update_E.exe.Error just says abnormal program termination.
Thanks for your prompt attention always you do provide marvelous support

Not had a chance to download it yet but congrats Gernot on another fine update!

[Kitty Hello]

oh no!? It worked fine here. Can you test again?
I also uploaded the setup again. Maybe that's better?

Hi Gernot,
fast response thanks. Update worked  (to 5.016) - that was the good news however the ddgui bug is still there. The grey area in the title bar grows in size as you drag the dialog in increasing x and in increasing y.
I did download the full SDK again and reinstalled it, then updated it and still the bug remained.
Thanks
Matthew

Hmm. See line 397. It should read:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

// Dialog backgrnd
// DDgui_backgnd(c1, c2, x,y,width, height)
DRAWRECT x,y,width, height, c2
DRAWRECT x+2,y+2,width-4, height-4, c1
ytop=yIf it doesn't, tell me. Very strange.
Also compare the file in C:\Program Files\GLBasic\Samples\Common. Is that one different?

Hi,
The lines are correct in both places so I don't know what going on. It is only the light grey background to the title bar that is changing. In its initial position it is correct but as I drag in x it extends that way. If i drag the dialog in Y it gets bigger behind the rest of the dialog. I don't recall this happening before. It is only a small bug and would only affect moveable dialogs. I will see if I can spot what's going on. Thanks

Change the 'c1' and c2 to RGB(255,0,0) or something. Very strange, I had thad bug, but the line above should fix it.

Hi again,
Probably not explaining the error correctly. I think that it is in the
//caption
section where there are two DrawRect commands. If I comment out the first of these the error remains so for some reason the command is not picking up the correct width / height. If I comment out the second and leave the first the caption bar is invisible (black?). I note that in the earlier version (see below) the first rectangle is white.
I reinstalled version 4.279 and ddgui works fine. In the ddgui file with that version the line number is 407-414 and there are two FillRect commands.
Could this be somehow related to the DrawSprite errors that others have reported.
Hope that this may help you track down the problem - Not trying to be a pest .
Thanks again
Matthew

Update is online. The DDgui sample program work on my PC...

[matty47]

Yep. it does on mine now too, however when I first installed the update it would not. I had to manually copy the files from c:\Program Files\GLBasic\Samples to My documents folder where my projects are stored. (normally this is done automatically I think). Then it worked. Anyway thanks greatly for all your hard work

Well it's been awhile. I just downloaded the latest SDK, installed, then I get an error message when trying to run GLB:
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.

I tried playing with things to get it to work but no luck so far. Downloading and reinstalling the SDK didn't work either. Has anyone else run into this and know a fix?

Edit: I just updated my version 4 to the latest version 4 update and it's now doing the same thing LOL.
