ProGUI Update, Graph Library and Experimental V2

[wombats]

That does look good! I didn't see the use of diverted rendering before.

I would consider contributing to a Patreon if this problem was fixed, which makes it difficult for me to use most of the functionality ProGUI offers. I think if ProGUI offered more modern controls, like a Ribbon, more people might be interested. If you decided not to do a Patreon, I'd consider buying another license.

I really like MenuEx and ToolbarEx. I understand they're old, but I hope we don't lose them.

I can't get the graph or diverted rendering examples to run on x64.

Thanks Wombats We wouldn't loose the MenuEx or ToolbarEx just under the hood it would replace the toolbar common control with a ProGUI equivelent and the MenuEx popup windows would be replaced with a layered window PanelEx.
I think I might have fixed that issue with V2, I did refactor a lot of the guts of ProGUI.
Ahh yep crap, I still need to write the x64 hooking routines because the ASM opcodes are different, I might have a better way of hooking but if I remember correctly some of the API hooks don't use the standard Windows hot-patch bytes at the beginning of a function.

I've heard nothing but BAD news about Patreon. I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.

I am using patreon for several projects for about 9 months now and for me as customer it works fine and has succcessfully funded several esoteric projects that would otherwise not get any funding. If any really negative point about patreon is true, i would simply switch to a competing service. Just google for crowdfunding platforms or services.

Thanks Bitblazer that's reasuring it's always good to hear both sides, I'll have to give it some thought.

I am really glad to see ProGUI still being supported, Chris!

One thing that needs some attention is the skins included are now grossly outdated. There are several threads with an interest in modern FLAT GUI design. Just some food for thought.

Yep I agree, it's one of my priorities near the top

Yet, the "outdated" skins are still very useful. Please do not remove them, Chris!

@Chris: do you see any possibility to install a forum software or a bugtracker for ProGUI? There are some issues I would like to report.

Maybe in the future, I had to remove the old forums because spam bots wreaked havok something like BugZilla might not be a bad idea though.

Get CleanTalk. It will keep your forums clean. I am using it for the InstallForge forums.

The last version I got is V1.39, when will the 1.40 be released?

And yet willl is still BlitzMax compatible?

can you add some demos for the graph and v2 that will run out of the box for the stupid among us - like me?
thanks and good luck.

ps
i kind of have to share your fate.

Hi Yoxala,

Did you receive an update email from me? if not priv msg me and I'll get you sorted.
V1.40 is the latest (stable) source code version, the V2 source is also included in it's current state (buggy, experimental).
Unfortunately I no longer officially support BlitzMax however the DLLs should work.

Cheers!

Chris.
