GUI library for Windows \ Linux (window9)

[MrSwiss]

Just a word of caution: it is 32-bit only!

For 32 & 64 bit's compatibility, better use: CWindow Release Candidate 31 (also called: WinFBX)
by José "Josep", Roca -- also a part of: WinFBE (FB-IDE), by Paul Squires

@chris319 For 32-bit Apps it's pretty stable I know the source code I added the OpenGL widget in the past.

If you need 64-bit or cross platform apps like 32/64-bit Windows \ Linux or 32-bit ARM FLTK-c are my first choice.

What is needed for the conversion of window9 to 64 bits ?
fbc 64bits , changing integer by long ? what else ? coffee ?

32-bit what?

I'm running 64-bit Windows 10. Will it work? Or do you mean 32-bit FreeBASIC?

[MrSwiss]

32-bit what? <-- the library code

FreeBASIC Compiler 32-bit. (64-bit run's only on 64-bit OS, anyway)

Will it work? Or do you mean 32-bit FreeBASIC? <-- Yes, correct.

32-bit run's on both 32/64-bit OS, likewise (on 64-bit, in a 32-bit Emulator, WoW = Windows)

The code is not written, to be compatible, with 64-bit Compiler, because: for the longer
time, of FBC's existence, it was 32-bit only. Actually, all versions below version: 1.00.0 ...
The 64-bit versions, prior to 1.05.0, can be considered, buggy.
Reason: 1.04.0 introduced new data type: Boolean, which caused some new bug's.
That doesn't mean, 1.05.0 is bug-free, but stable ...

[chris319]

OK, thank you. I will make sure I have 32-bit FreeBASIC installed.

[MrSwiss]

OK, thank you. I will make sure I have 32-bit FreeBASIC installed.

Good idea but, since you are on a 64-bit OS: I'd also install the 64-bit version ...
(just make sure, to use different directories/folders, e.g. FBC32/FBC64 or similar)

Libraries: I'd only use newer Lib's, that are compatible with both versions ...

[chris319]

OK.

I am trying to read the pixel values inside a movie player. I have been unable to do this successfully with PureBasic. We'll see how it goes with FB.

[chris319]

D:\Programs\FreeBASIC\bin\win32\ld.exe: cannot find -lwindow9

Now what?

[D.J.Peters]

it's all include in LIBFB.zip
download: LIBFB.zip

In the case your russian are not perfect here are the Window9 help in english ;-)
download: helpWindow9en.zip


move\copy the 3 *.a files to the FreeBASIC\lib\win32
move\copy the 3 *.bi files to the FreeBASIC\inc

thats all

[chris319]

To compile, copy these three files to the folder FreeBASIC\inc

zlib.bi
Window9.bi
Linked_Lists.bi

Copy these three files to the folder FreeBASIC\lib\win32

libwindow9.a
libLinked_Lists.a
libz.a

[chris319]

I got it to compile without error, thank you.

The function LoadMovie() does not open a movie file with a literal string, viz.:

Code: Select all

mov8=loadmovie(GadgetID(4),"mymovie.mp4",0,0,WindowWidth(hwnd)-30,WindowHeight(hwnd)-110)

The volume function does not work:

Code: Select all

MovieAudioSetVolume (mov8, -1000)

Only now I checked on the systems:

windows 7 32 bit
windows 10 64 bit (32-bit compilier)

Everything works fine. The volume is also adjustable. You are doing something wrong. Perhaps you incorrectly specified the path to the file. With loudness, there can be problems only if you have incorrect codecs. Try it on another file.

[chris319]

Perhaps you incorrectly specified the path to the file.

If that were the problem the movie would not load and play, which it does. I can control the volume on the same file on the same machine using the PureBasic player so I doubt the problem is with my machine or the codecs or the file.

Please, participants of the forum, who has the library installed: please check the participant's approval chris319.

chris319! I ask to lay out in the archive [not working code + movie] , without violating the licenses movie.
