my GUI Class [still in construction] - not so turing-y!
-----------------------------------
You do have to admit turing's GUI sucks, plus if you want a more graphical GUI the built-in turing GUI is not the way to go...

I recently saw a post where someone did one of these types of things - And so I decided to dig up an old version I was working on a few years back.

I will no be providing the source code yet - but I am releasing a sample program

Tell me what you guys think.  I know there is alot of things I have not included yet (many things I did start, but just removed it from this release due to the fact that they are not finished) such as rollover effects for buttons, full frames (pretty much like a window inside a window), horrizontal scroll bars, text input boxes, check boxes, option buttons, tabs, etc.

Honest opinions ans suggestions welcome.

It's a litttle glitchy:
sometimes it would load the scroll bar sometimes it gave an error saying it could not find the picture
the error message's icon dissapeared after a shrt while
the scroll bar also dissipeared after a while
my msn (to the side) went all glitchy when your prgram was runnging, after it finished msn went back to normal

o.O
I have never encountered those problems before...

I have run my program on two different computers, and have not had such problems.  I will try to find out why this may be happening.

I have run it several more times, on both comps AND with several other things running, and I have not run into those problems yet.

Just some thoughts:

? Was it flashy? (like when someone doesn't use View.Update)
? Are the folders in the same directory as the program?
? Are the files/folders saved to a flashdrive? (I don't know why, but sometimes [I dont know if always] when I run a prog made in turing from a flashdrive, it doesn't work.  Try saving it somewhere on your comp if this is the case)
? Still trying to come up with other reasons.  Suggestions?

IF ANYONE ELSE ENCOUNTERS THESE PROBLEMS, OR OTHER ONES PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

hmm, just thought of something, probably stupid though...
I made the prog on XP, dunno if that could be some reason.

hmmm well it wasnt flashy it was on my desktop but Im using ME so that is most likily it 
also maybe I had too many things running which is likely since msn messed up

that's a relief.

Glad to see you like it, I am also working on some more cool looking styles, so I'll post another update later.

If anyone has any great ideas I would be more than happy to hear them
:D
