Updated version of the IUP module attached.

Thing to note about the 30 release:

It's somewhere between Alpha and Beta stages.  This came about because John wondered if it could be compiled using MinGW.


Now the IUP module:

All of the GUI elements in the example now work (the UTF checkbox is unused, however).  Look at the iup.bas file to see what's available function-wise.

At the moment, it's Windows only because I had to resort to WinApi to get things (retrieving text values in Listbox/Combobox, for example) working with Scriptbasic.


Which leads me to this:  How interested are people in this module?  I need a "show of hands" here, otherwise this is all that's gonna be done.  Scriptbasic was never designed to interface with a GUI library, although this proof-of-concept shows that it can be done.  I'm not willing to commit the time required to bring this all the way home if only a few people will be using it.

I'm 100% behind your efforts and see this as putting ScriptBasic on the map.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.  (testing, documentation and project promotion is something I can contribute )

Hey Guys, wake up!

There have been 50 or so downloads of ScriptBasic in the last few days and Armando needs your feedback. This is an incredible effort on Armando's part so don't let it die off because no one can find a couple minutes to reply to his request for feedback. It has taken me 5 years to find someone like Armando to get ScriptBasic moving forward again. PLEASE HELP the effort and participate.

Armando --

Your GUI module looks very interesting.

I will certainly give it a try.
