Windows GUI and SQL

it has
it can

hmmm.... that sounds like chatGPT  

hi
don't get me wrong it was my joke

OK
Yes you have right ,the author of RCB n00b made SDL functions aka GUI
and present is as demo program as you already see/try ...
so as far as i know there is no native wrapper for GUI win32 api functions like
i use with o2
I even don't know how to call .dll ...let say if i want to make GUI wrapper DLL
that can be connected with RCBasic
..we need to wait what author will say ..right ?

For me is not big problem to made set of GUI functions in a CDCL standard
that can be used directly with RCBasic ..of course i can make it in o2 native compiler for Windows.
is it now ok ?

all best

   wait a moment @n00b
  but how they are connected with system?
  must be in a DLL form or statically linked ?
  or i have wrong ?

  Is there function in RCB like LoadLibrary or IncludeLib or similar?

I didn't build studio this way because I suck at web dev.


I can post an example of how to do this tommorow. I would personally suggest just using a different language that supports native gui (like micro(A) ) but if you want to use rcbasic with html/css then you can.

aurel No, you can't use LoadLibrary(). It would be kinda difficult for me to implement because of how the runtime is built.


Also, here is a demo on how to use HTML to make a gui for your RCBasic programs. It uses electron to package the program as an exe for windows. You can also use electron to build it as an app for linux or mac as well I just didn't do it.

matty47 - I used your associative array library for parsing the http request. Its in the file dictionary.bas. Thanks again for sharing it.

I link the SDL library when I am compiling. It looks something like this:
gcc main.cpp theoraplay.c -o rcbasic -lSDL2main -lSDL2 -lSDL2_gfx -lSDL2_image -lSDL2_net -lSDL2_mixer -lSDL2_ttf -logg -lvorbis -lvorbisfile -ltheora -ltheoradec -pthreads -O3

There might be a few other flags that get added from the options I have set in Codeblocks but that is about it. SDL2 has a wrapper for LoadLibrary but the issue is how to map library functions to rcbasic functions which are essentially just pointers in a C++ vector. It is definitely possible but it would involve some time and thought. Lately I have been focused on stability and new features related to the current functions in rcbasic. This would be a major feature that I would have to ignore other features for maybe half a year or so to focus on. I only have so much time so it is difficult to decide how to prioritize it.
