This would be really useful for a modeller. You could take the output of
POV and place it right in a window of the modeller. Maybe for a higher
quality preview option?

Hi Theran Cochran, you recently wrote in povray.programming:

You can already do this now. Moray V3.0 does exactly that.

Hi!

Please don't crosspost like this. Wouldn't this thread be best situated in
povray.programming?

Sincerely

I agree - I have noticed a tendancy for some users (not just relating to this
particular thread) to crosspost to three or more groups. Please, people, try
to post to the appropriate groups - no more than one crosspost per article.

In future, if you really have something that should be mentioned in multiple
groups, then please either post them manually, or direct followups to the one
group via the followup-to header.

Another thought.  Since POV files are just plain text files, you could write
your own editor.  save the file then load and render in POV, or call POV
(ShellExecute()) with the proper command line switches.  True this is not
what you (or I) would really want, but if your just learning VB then that
might be the best route.

DC :)

p.s.  I've worked with VB for a long time and I've just changed over to
Borlands C++ Builder.  If you are just learning programming, you might look
into that.  BCB is based on the Delphi VCL (Visual Component Library) and
has done to C++ windows programming what VB did for BASIC windows
programming.

p.s.s.  I've been playing with the idea of porting POV to BCB and made the
UI in about 2~3 hours.  I'm looking for the POV source code to see how to
merge the two.  Any thoughts about new UI options would be appreciated.

I have a Microsoft DevStudio Add-In that does POV-Ray...  Command
highlighting and all the bells and whistles associated with VC5, VInterdev,
and VJ++...

Wonder if it would work in Borland C++Builder?

I've done this exact sort of thing before, having failed to find a quick
and efficient way to interface my VB programs to pov-ray( i.e. without
rewriting the source code in VC++ to operate as an ocx, which I'm not sure
would be cool with their licensing...)
	And I have to say that although it isn't a perfect solution, calling a
	shell on pov-ray isn't a total pain. Plus you can use the API to catch the
	window handle and send signals that way.  I always just stuck to writing a
	batch file and calling pov-ray with the right command line switches. It
	worked fine for specialized animation work.

	But I also have to agree, an easy ocx patch between vb and povray would be
	super awesome.
