I am really curious how far the ThinBASIC embedding could be pushed. I consider this area very interesting.
For random forum visitors - this release contains updated TBGL module with support for Drag&Drop. If you ever tried to do this using Win32 API, you are probably gray haired man now. With TBGL, it gets more simple:
Step #1: Subscribe for receiving notification about files being dragged to your window
Code:
' -- The following enables programmer to handle dropping files to window
' -- The window is identified via hWnd handle
' -- Once the event occurs, the function Main_OnDropFiles will be launched
TBGL_BindWindowEvent(hWnd, %TBGL_OnDropFiles, Main_OnDropFiles)
Of course -the function does not need to be called Main_OnDropFiles, you are free to choose any other function name.
Step #2: Handle the event
Code:
' -- Function fired thanks to previous bind using TBGL_BindWindowEvent
Function Main_OnDropFiles()
' -- Retrieve number of files
Long nFiles = TBGL_OnDropFiles_GetFileCount()
Long i
' -- Iterate through all of them and list their names
For i = 1 To nFiles
MsgBox TBGL_CallingWindow, "File " + Format$(i) + " is " + TBGL_OnDropFiles_GetFileName(i)
Next
End Function

Some nosy question here: I checked the inc/lib-folders for freeimage - there's none inside...haven't they been there before some time?
so I downloaded from sourceforge and play around with the vb-wrapper in thinAir ;)
... now there are a few things inside that let me wonder a little bit, a couple of very specific types and constants that become blue and bold... so is there some FreeImage-module or new wrapper planned? Or this just coincidences?
for example this:
Code:
%BLACKONWHITE ' As Long = 1
%WHITEONBLACK 'As Long = 2
%COLORONCOLOR ' As Long = 3
'or
Type RGBQuad
Type RGBTriple
become bold'n blue.
might I just make seperate constants or take them as they are in tB? - Or should I stop playing around with that wrapper?

Yes, they are defined into UI module.
Regarding FreeImage I had some ideas in the past but very little time to work on it.
I wanted to create a thinBasic module.
I have the attached INC file, quite old.
Maybe it can help.

Here's my answer - with yours up there and the one of Petr I was able to compare & find out about some variable-types & stuff- there's some small incompatibility with some types (dynamic UDT-subsets) - which I left in commented - also there are a few Functions wich await some
"Optional Byval Value As Whatever = 123" - I'm not sure about them so I left the defaults commented near the function. But this needs new Version 3.15.4. of freeImage.dll which you'll find inside \Dist-Subfolder there.
It's pretty much plain Basic since I took the vb6-wrapper as a base for this - and I tried to arrange it as clearly as possible to keep overview :)

Hi, all,
Of the two(2) FreeImage,zip's on this page, do either or both
have anything to do with the FreeImage.dll that is in Rene's
TBGL3dEd1.05b.zip?

the one that is included in TBGL3dEd is an older version of freeImage.dll but serves to load common texture-files. The new version can load more different formats and also has a few changed and a couple of new functions.
You should not use the inc-files posted here together with the freeImage.dll which is included in 3d-Ed-download.
But you can use the new version (3.15.4. see links post above) of freeImage.dll together with 3d-Ed/ or replace the one in 3d-Ed-folder. All used functions still work the same way. Although the version 3.I.dunno something has only half the size and as long as I don't use any functions of the new freeImage.dll it will serve the purpose.
