The more tha merrier. BTW, I just finished the engine. It is rather low level. It loads a vb-script with control of 7-forms. On each form, it can create an infinate number of imiages, labels, and text boxes. It also controls one form with a progress bar(Loading indicator). Your script has complete access to everything on each form. Events are raised for mouse move, click, and keypress. Although it may be hard to make a script, the more we put in the script opposed to the exe, the easier it will be in the end. What do you think?
Since aafuss has more experience gui desinging, he should probably write the script(or a good chunk of it). The majority fo API is already built into a library. In a min, I will upload whole project with script - writing docs in a password protected zip. You know what the password is ;-)
Just to let you know, I need to go to bed(Church at 9 get up at 8:30). You can play around, but now documentation. It runs in VBScript so you do anything you want. Its Visual Basic without Global Variables or a form designer which means as far as forms go, you will need to minipulate the 6 bars. To make a new image go like this:
Load BAR1.IMG(1)
BAR1.IMG(1).Picture= LoadPicture("C:\MySpecialfluffycow.bmp")
BAR1.IMG(1).Width = 64
BAR1.IMG(1).HEIGHT = 64
BAR1.IMG(1).TOP = 10
BAR1.IMG(1).LEFT = 15
BAR1.IMG(1).VISIBLE = TRUE
You get the basic idea. I will upload some docs on how to actually interface with it all tommorow so that you can take advantage of the ShellScript Library(Implemented), correctly interface with all componenets, react to events etc.
If you want you can make it suite your needs tonight but I am very tired...
