Custom graphics control
Post by rtr on Aug 4th, 2014, 11:58am
One of the features that was expected to be provided by the late lamented GUILIB library was a custom graphics control, as in this extract from the specification:
0.4 To provide a custom 'graphics capable' child control, supporting BBC BASIC-style graphics commands (similar to what is already provided by the MULTIWIN library, but suitable for being hosted by a dialogue box).
Whilst most of GUILIB's intended capabilities can be achieved, albeit in a less elegant way, using existing libraries and direct API calls, this particular feature cannot. To rectify this I have modified the MULTIWIN library to support it.
This Wiki article demonstrates creating a dialogue box with four independent 'graphicboxes':
