Windows GUI Elements

[chackl]

Hello!

Well, actually i have to desing a great GUI for some things, where i know that user do not take care how the software looks.

And i also have to see it like that: it is not verry efficient if i have to develope every single "ListBox" or ComboBox on my own that were already done in windows GUI.

So would it be possible to get some functionals Things of the Windows standart into flowstone:

TextBox
ListBox
List-Column Box
InputBox (Kins a messagebox with input)
RTF-Textbox (for formated texts)
HTML-Viewer
Simple Windows Button
Optionboxes
Checkboxes
...

FlowStone is't only SynthMaker anymore... With FlowStone you could manage databases and so on. I'm working on a complete object-orientated DMX-Software - and using the standart things of "SynthMaker" does not make sence here. I need good manageable lists - the customer do not take care if the buttons are animated or anything looks great here....

During the last Days i worked with MS-Access - and the way doing the GUI here is so "simple" - Doing some CMD is better in FlowStone

So including those things would be too great and a realy step ahead for now program desingning

Kind Regards

you can make column lists with the ruby droplist, and you can use the windowsmessage boxes with yes/no, ok,... buttons

here is an example for a droplist with column size of 6 items

Thanks for the Schematic.

But i'm informed verry well, what kind of stuff ruby is able to do - But still - Why should i do an Combobox in Ruby if Windows would give us usable elements?
Sometimes you may just need some elements that will enable the users to set something up within the software - it also does not need a good look - so spending hours of creating a GUI element that is not used that often is quite nasty :/

Just my thoughts so far.

Kind Regards.

yes i know, its true better integration of this windows function would be helpful often..

you also have the win 32 api, sadly it also ends up with issues ->
