With differing number of paramters in stdcall, the stack will not get cleaned up properly, since the callee has the responsibility. It's never a good idea to do something like that, regardless of calling convention, because the compiler can't help type check for you then.

eodor,

Are you actively working on this project right now? You had started a couple other similar GUI projects in the past but never completed them. I'd like to help as much as possible, but only if you're serious about it.

You talk about creating a rad ide, which would be a great idea, but the gui library should be completed first, don't you agree? Are you working on additional controls right now?

I guess I'm asking for a status or plan. Can you provide one?

Yes I am working on it. You are right the gui library must finished,
but such task is big and I am only one man with limited free time.
In the past I started some project but all of them was only idea for
you guys, I expect some interests from some peoples to continue or
contribute at this task. So far no one (until you) looks some interests.
Right now I test a new version of gui, the last one.
In a few days I be able to spok about some stable results.
If you are interest in this project keep in touch.

Ohhh, I think there are people interested in your project, Eodor.

I am, for one. And I've seen various posts from time to time about the subject of GUI's and GUI libraries where your's is mentioned (favorably).

As concerns your project, I don't say much since I haven't the skills to help you. Nor do I complain or even ask if you're making any progress, since it's YOU who are doing the work, not me. And I figure that you probably have other things in life to do and keep you busy.

By the "the last one", I assume you mean that this current GUI project is the last GUI project that you will get involved with, once you have completed it;-) Right?

I am definitely interested. I'm looking at your code now, but I'll wait until your next release before I ask a few questions. I've worked on projects such as this in the past and I certainly appreciate its complexity. It's definitely more than a one person project. I'll keep in touch.

Is it not possible to use the VISG project to convert Win GUI components into code? Then you could take this code and insert it into each "Class" or "type" that implements a GUI widget. That way you could add more controls to the GUI library?

The problem here is to make sure the code can be DIM into many separate widgets and still work in one application or multiple forms.

The last version of gui (at what do I work now) can handle multiple forms,
have all windows controls on it, and some custom controls wich need to
build an RAD-IDE. When the IDE will be finished you be able to build complete gui applications. So using of VISG here is just an waste of time in my opinion. To build an custom control will be a simple task, most of code will be do in a automatic mode.
Also the IDE will be able to inherit the existing control in to new one.
Right now I work hard to test the gui library and ajust her functionability for a good and strong stability.
I estimate 2-3 days until I release it.
Some controls and components:
TPrinter
TApplication
TClipboard
TScreen
TPen
TBrush
TCanvas
TIcon
TCursor
TBitmap
TGraphic*
TInageList
TMenuItem
TMainMenu
TPopupMenu
TForm (MDI capability)
TButton
TEdit
...
TAnimate
Custom:
TPanel
TSplitter
TSynEditor
TPageControl
TFormDesigner
TObjectInspector
...

Best JK

One thing I'll suggest is create repository instead of a group to host code.

With a repository other users can collaborate with code and patches.

I was previously interested on this, but as commented before, there was too many attempts at this that collaborate was useless.

Also, few of the suggestions I provided on the other threads are good ones ;-)

@eodor:
I would normally decline to help out on a winAPI project, but I have recently gotten pretty good with it. I will join the group.
