kxDialog
Hi, I just work on a "graphics library" , which will provide an easy access to common controls (later) *g* A first version plus sample app you can find here: http://testserver.protron.de/kxDialog.zip Frank

hi! ;0
looks pretty good... But crashes in Virtual kolibri: edit control (?, or it is openFile?) crashes, and show info button do nothing ( my floppy is broken, so only emu test ATM) I`m writing GUI library too, but in c++. Demo soon ;)

Works fine in real mode. Looks good.

the "show info" has no function atm, it is just a button for demonstration. The MsgDlg widget does not work jet :(. And the edit field will be later a listbox, but I stopped at this point the graphic design, because I recognized, that I have to implement an own event handler. (This informations are not interesting, if you are not a programmer ;-) ) lost What about code size, if you make it in cpp? The size of my GUI apps expands to much, but I dont know, where to shrink it. (Its because of data definitions, but the code is designed to get a GUI designer like bcb or delphi much later. (I am a delphi coder, as you can see in property naming))

What about code size? You mean source or filesize? source example: //#include "meos/system.h" #include "meos/memory.h"//TODO:MOVE TO system.h #include "sikwl/sikwl.h" using namespace sikwl; extern void meMain() asm("meMain"); void meMain() { mainWindow* wnd=new mainWindow("Example2: Some Static Controls",200,200,300,100,0x00CCFFCC|SKINNED_WINDOW); wnd->addWidget((sikWidget*)new sikLabel("LABEL!!!",30,30,200,200)); wnd->show(); while(wnd->run()); wnd->close(); } compiled version is about 2.4 KB, but library built with -O3 flag (maximum optimization) and with -Os (code size optimization) it`s even smaller + we can use mtpack to pack application. :)

maybe this can be helpfull http://menuet.homelinux.net/Project:Gui/Widgets

Yes, that is near to that, what I do... ;-) I've updated a new version, visually nothing changed, but now with event handler. That was quite hard for me as an asm beginner, but its funny. Now I will continue developing more usefull widgets. Greets, Frank

keep up the good work! ;)

Thank you for your motivation. There is an update available. not yet with new widgets again, but this changes: * apps can be closed with ALT-F4 * clickable widgets can get focus * focussed widgets interpret ENTER as click * TAB switches all focussable widgets At this point I have a question: It is possible to different between TAB and SHIFT-TAB? The keycode seems to be the same in KoOS.

They are the same, but you can get state of 'modifiers' with function 66/3 (includes Shift/Ctrl/Alt (left and right separately), Caps/Scroll/Num Lock).

derPenguin: you need to use another sysfunction to read scancodes i guess ;)
