I'm not impatient or newbish. I'm just a bit overwhelmed by 460 functions. I would probably only use around 10 anyways

Right, so like every other programming language, the best way to go about it is to use the example(s) given, and work from that. Work from the gmds there.

Hi, i need some help with the rich text editor. I keep trying to add the rich edit code things for like bold and underline, but it doesn't seem to work... Please help!

EDIT: Sorry, its not the rich edit(although, when text is added to the rich edit, the rich edit commands are text.) It is the button. I cannot figure out how to click the button!

Hey, does tabs have a bug in it, because when I create more than one item to a tab, then when I select one item other than the first item then this strange white box appears and hides part of the tab view including the outline.

there's something wrong, i'd say with API_Button_SetImage - when the desktop theme is set to Windows Classic, the image attached to the button is shown, clearly, but when I change the desktop theme to Windows Vista it doesn't show. What is the problem?

Additional information:
I had to be sure whether the problem is with loading bitmaps, so I tried the other function: API_Styling_SetBackBitmap, and it works well.

	Button = API_Button_Create(Win2,5,5,100,30);
	Bitmap = API_Resource_LoadBitmap("awd.bmp");
	API_Button_SetImage(Button, 0, Bitmap);

Anyone have a DL link for this? The link in the first post appears to be dead.

*EDIT* And today it's working again.

Hey there. Does anyone know how to register the input from a API_Dialog_MessageBox?
I can get it to display, but can't figure out how to retrieve the button input from it.

[Harvest Moon]

Hey there. Does anyone know how to register the input from a API_Dialog_MessageBox?
I can get it to display, but can't figure out how to retrieve the button input from it.

You have to use a variable to store it's return-value. Do like this:

dialog = API_Dialog_MessageBox(//Function parameters);  // Now dialog will contain the return-value from API_Dialog_MessageBox(); Of course, you have to change "// Function parameters" to the correct parameters for the function.

// This is just for viewing the output
show_message("Output: " + string(dialog));

I hope it helped! It was quite some time since I used MW2 last, but once I used it alot, so I think I still know how to do it!
