MichaelW, strange - that's the exact page I use for a reference! Very nice reference IMO.

I was just trying to compile something and it says that FB couldn't find -lgdiplus .. Example that uses the gdiplus.dll Declare Function GdiplusStartup Lib "gdiplus.dll" _ (ByRef token as Integer, inputbuf as GdiplusStartupInput, unused as Integer) as Integer Can't I call external function...

Well, the reason I said I could wait is because every time I try to instsall the .15 nothing works :-) Maybe Im just dense.

Great! I cant wait!.. Well, actually I can :-) Thanks.

But Ive tried that too! '' '' Dialog Example, by fsw '' '' compile with: fbc -s gui dialog.rc dialog.bas '' '' option explicit #INCLUDE ONCE "win/kernel32.bi" #INCLUDE ONCE "win/user32.bi" #include "testapp.bi" declare function DlgProc(byval hWnd as long, byval uMsg as ...

Thanks again.

1.5.4 - Sorry... Won't compile if I uncomment last 2 lines :-/

Im no n00b to programming.. Just a little ignorant on *some* things Ive never done before.. And I DO study a bit before/while asking questions. Thanks v1ctor, but Ive got one problem.. When I look at the exports of the userenv.dll (with PExports, Dependency Walker, dllexp.exe) it doesnt show the man...
