| xcoder | My Gui for DOSI've been coding Qbasic programs for years one of them was a GUI using the future.library with multi-tasking scripted programs and much more. Due to QB's limits I've ported it to Freebasic.
Here's a screenshot..

*** You must install to C:EV5 or the program won't work **
There are many bugs and you may need to run in plain old dos (with mouse & Long file names drivers).
Let me know what you think!!. | 2008-09-15 | 9:16 AM |
| Todd | Re:My Gui for DOSUnfortunately, I couldn't get it to run. I tried DOSBox and I tried regular DOS. It looks like a neat GUI from the screenshot which is a shame that I can't run it. | 2008-09-15 | 1:03 PM |
| Brandon | Re:My Gui for DOSlooks cool after school I'm try it out. | 2008-09-15 | 1:34 PM |
| ksr | Re:My Gui for DOSI just tried it, and I'm very impressed. I ran it in Windows XP which is probably why I couldn't browse the hard drive or change any of the preferences.
Scripting language looks very nice. | 2008-09-15 | 1:53 PM |
| xcoder | Re:My Gui for DOScopy this file into the directory and run it instead.
This will work in windows(ARRH!)

| Todd | Re:My Gui for DOSWhat's with the "ARRH!"? lol
I got it working. It's really neat! I like the scripting language too. It resembles BASIC in a lot of ways. I also noticed it uses "eLinker". So I take it your scripting language for your GUI is simplified and then the script is translated into a lower-level version to be interpreted by the GUI? | 2008-09-15 | 2:57 PM |
| ksr | Re:My Gui for DOSUnfortunately I still can't access any folders. I'm running it out of C:EV5 but get this:

(as a side note, you assumed that my CDROM drive was D:, which it isn't :P) | 2008-09-15 | 3:46 PM |
| xcoder | Re:My Gui for DOSMine is! LOL!
This is only a demo which i rushed to post on the freebasic site.
I've got an installer but its not finished..
Stay posted.

| rCX | Re:My Gui for DOSReally Cool B). The graphics ran smoothly. I like the icons. I must have taken awhile to make all them. The back button under the preferences wasn't working and for mysterious reasons the GUI doesn't start every time. I am using the latest FreeDOS.

Here's a quick fix but only for DOS. I only tested it under NTVDM since I don't have DOS drivers for my CD drive yet.
[Code]
Function IsCDdrive(DriveNum as ushort) as ushort
'Returns whether specified Drive is a cd drive.
'For DriveNum...
' a: = 0
' b: = 1
' c: = 2
' c: = 3
' e: = 4
' ...
dim status as ushort
asm
mov ax,0x150B
mov cx,[DriveNum]
int 0x2F 'ax = 1 if it is a cd drive, ax = 0 otherwise
mov [status],ax 'return ax in status
end asm
if status = 1 THEN
return -1 '-1 is true in FB
else
return 0 ' 0 is false in FB
end if
end Function
[/code]
btw
Welcome to the site. Keep up the good work! | 2008-09-16 | 1:35 AM |
| Brandon | Re:My Gui for DOSLOL doesn't freedos come with them? | 2008-09-16 | 1:58 PM |
| aguma | Re:My Gui for DOSHm, it gets stuck on the loading screen for me. Weird. | 2008-09-16 | 5:56 PM |
| Todd | Re:My Gui for DOSHow long did you wait? I got it to load after some time but it was slow to start. xcoder did say it had bugs so compatibility isn't a plus. | 2008-09-16 | 6:42 PM |
