VB - DX87

[nugget]

I've been working on a 2D rpg for about a week

now, its going to have online gameplay. ANd I was wondering about a code to

make a windowed GUI.

For eg, you can drag the windows from within the

game, like inventory window, stats, etc. I don't want a static

GUI.

edit: I used directx7 (directdraw)
and visual basic 6

Well...what are you using to code it?

[nugget]

The topic title says it, VB = Visual basic, DX7 = DirectX7

(DirectDraw in this case)

[Cparty]

I just realized that lol, umm can't help you in this department

never really worked with VB

[nugget]

What have you worked with? another language sample

code can always help.

[Netrosis]

I used VB 5. Im not sure

how different the code is in VB 6, and whether its backwards

compatable.

Are you using separate Forms as the interface, or is it

built in frames or what?

If you want people to help you need to

specify specifically it is you want them to be able to drag.

Including

what object type it is.

[nugget]

Naw, its not multiple

forms, Its only one form tht uses full screen mode with DirectDraw, so I

wouldn´t be allowed to use multiple forms.

I was thinking of making

UDT for the windows like

Public Type WINDOWS
x as long
y as

long
drag as boolean
visible as boolean
End Type

But I don´t

kno how to make it draggable n stuff...

As far as anything besides

RAD applications VB suuuuuuuuucks, If your even serious you should go for C#

and then convert to C++. However I think you would get more help at

www.gamedev.net then here.

Theres nothing you can't do with VB6 for a 2D online simple RPG that you

can do using c#,c, or c++. So yea, im using VB6 for times sake. WHen I go

onot a real big project i'll go to c++.
