  GUIExt Interface for non C based compilers (Message 1 to 3 of 3)

Hi,

I am wondering if any one has examples of how to use the GUIExt interface
for programming languages other than C.

I am programming in Delphi (Object Pascal) and I would like to be able to
use the GUIExt Interface in a program I am producing. The only problem is
the source code for the GUIExt Example is in a language I don't know that
well and that is the only docs for the interface :-)

Would some one be able to help me understand the GUIExt interface so I can
make an interface to it for Delphi?

Once I do get an interface together I'm going to create a non visual
component for Delphi so that programmer's writting in Delphi can produce a
working interface to POVRay with two simple clicks of a button but that is
another story.....

Thanks for your help,
Christopher Fairbairn.

This sounds like something I'm looking for. Please let me know if you get any
results.

Good luck,

Remco

I'm familiar with converting C to Object Pascal (I'm a - currently
inactive - Jedi member), and I'm glad to help you with that.

I was planning on doing the same (with the Moray plugin interface too).

I'll have a look at the source\windows\guiext files asap. I'll contact you
by e-mail if I have done something. You can also contact me via e-mail
(rve### [at] gmxnet) if you have questions of your own.
