Its a fake OS/Toy OS just for fun guys! If I wanted to develop a real OS I would use C/C++ or ASM.
Then what's the point? ...seriously?
GUIs are good to make/try to make because it takes time and skill. And look at GUIs like GIMI, with internet access and all!

Yeah, GIMI is really cool but its windowing engine is very flickery! Look at AlfaFLA v3.0

Its fun! Something that many people have forgotten
I think X-GUI 3 is the best GUI in QB ever. Im working on a GUI currently ive ran into the worst problem. in screen 12 To save a graphic in a array like ICON% when i type GET (x1, y1)-(x2, y2), ICON% the biggest image i can svae is 20,20! WHY? I figured all of you know something about guis, graphics, and everything. Oh and great job on that, its a little bright for my tastes but good job keep it up! oh and on the comment of a QB OS impossible think again, i programmed a text based command line shell my friend made a bootable floppy in asm and added the command.com somehow and it worked on its own! enough of my talk! someone answer! :o
hi
Your image problem is wierd. Running out of memory?
mot19: Your diskette has command.com, so the shell is just a shell. The OS is command.com/io.sys/msdos.sys. If you code were an OS, it wouldn't need command.com and would put its own boot.
Ah, and you don't need ASM to make a diskette bootable with command.com, just type "FORMAT A: /S" in the command prompt.
About the GET, maybe you are not dimmensioning your array well:
Code:
arraySizeInScreen12% = 2 + Height%*Width%\2\2
DIM MyArray%(arraySizeInScreen12% - 1)
GET (0,0)-(Width%-1, Height%-1), MyArray%(0)
Does this solve your problem?
Why are you using Screen 12. A really good GUI should be usable/stable and having great functionality which I think is very difficult in Screen 12 and pure QB. But I think I have made a great GUI in Screen 12 by stretching QB to its limits. If you want to see its demo please email me and I will send it to you. Though it has its own limitations. Right now I am using Future Lib. A really cool SVGA lib for my GUI!
i figured that since it is 640, 320 it would be great for a GUI! Ok i have this basicly.
Code:
dim shared icon%(?) 'what does this number in there do?
line (0,0)-(19,19), 7, bf
get (0,0)-(19,19), icon%
thats all i can get is 19,19 in screen 12! in screen 13 i can get 20,20 i believe or the other way around! I think the number after dim shared icon% is my problem! what should i put in thouse little ( and )
