Yes, good idea. This has turned into more of a Project than a Tip & Trick.

I have added scroll bar capabilities (horizontal and vertical) to the textbox controls. Will also add radio_button / checkbox controls.

These updates will be posted on the web site soon.

Also though of moving or duplicating this thread on the Projects forum.

Try re-posting the screen shot in PNG format.

Thanks for the MSDN link. The "simple" options are easy to use, like WS_CAPTION,0. I experimented a bit and tried some of the more interesting options listed on MSDN. For example WS_HSCROLL,1 puts a handy horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the window, but it doesn't seem to "scrol...

Yes, I know... a compressed format would be much better. I just got lazy. I'll change the image on the website (although it will kill the link on my posting). BTW, I was confused about how to post an image (PNG or JPG) on the forum so that it gets launched as an image, not listed as a link. Tried us...

Um.... sorry to be so dense, but what are the "windows style constants WS_ "? Are these the window mode flags in the GFX library, e.g. GFX_FULLSCREEN (&h01)? Secondly, which include files are required? I tried #include once "ext/graphics.bi" #include once "fbgfx.bi"...

Are you able to open the URL and see the listing of downloads? I tried it this morning. The checkboxes to the left are not functional, but if you right-click on any file, it can be downloaded.

Sorry about the clumsy download. It's the "google sites" free web hosting.

It only uses one Win API, FileOpenDialogBox. Everything else is FB and FB Extended Lib.

Hmmm... are you sure the program can find tahoma.ttf on your machine? Another possibility may be that the FreeBasic Extended Library is not loaded. Here's the link http://code.google.com/p/fb-extended-lib/ Rather than following up on this partial project on TextBox... I suggest you check out the mor...

Over the past few weeks, I have been developing a set of FB routines to emulate common WIN API controls (Cmd_Button, Menu_Drop_down, TextBox, Form). The rationale was that (for many of us) it is difficult to write code to access the WIN API, especially to pass data back and forth. Moreover, writing ...

Very Cool! Your code worked perfectly, with one small modification. I only needed an 8 x 8 image (you had originally set up 16 x 16). Anyway, here's the output for My_Image_Array.BAS which works great static as uinteger image_array(0 to 71) => { _ &H00000007, &H00000004, &H00000008, &...

I used a drawing program to create a small 8 x 8 pixel BMP file to represent a check mark. I can successfully load this into a FB.Image buffer and PUT this to the screen as needed. image_check = imagecreate (8,8) BLoad "check8.bmp", image_check My question is, can I embed the representatio...

With the exception of the very helpful examples posted on this forum for using the FileOpenDialog Box, my experience with calling Win API routines from FreeBasic has been very frustrating. Sure... it's not too tough to write code for a demo that puts all kinds of fancy Win Controls on the console. B...

In any GFX_Windowed Mode with a frame (&h0, &h04, &h20) wherein the Screen_Height approaches the limit of the monitor (so the frame gets crunched against the edge of the monitor), there is a discrepancy between the y-coordinate returned in GetMouse and that of an object drawn on the scre...
