Standardisation between Win libraries
This is mainly aimed at those wonderful (and pretty darn clever) people
out there who develop the Windows libraries (win32Lib, eWin32API, etc)
for this great language.
Is it possible for you all to talk together and decide on a standard set
of include files for the definitions of Windows constants ie. for
WM_PAINT, WM_MOUSEMOVE, VK_SPACE, VK_LEFT, etc? and/or other aspects.
With one single set of includes it would make the use of Euphoria for
Windows soooo much easier. I currently use win32Lib for most Windows
apps, but have to use eWin32API for OpenGL stuff - both of which are
missing features the other has and would conflict (I'm sure) if I tried
to include both in the same application.
I know each of you, probably, prefer to think your version is the best -
most flexible, correct, enhancable, etc; but when developing apps (or
trying to!) I'm more into completeness - if the function ain't available
in a certain library, then it puts me off using it. Most of the
libraries simply wrap the standard DLL's anyway.
What I'm trying to say/ask is can you all develop for a single
Uber-Library, that gives the full flexibility and completeness without
redeveloping what each other is doing? Stick it in a single folder and
then everyone will know where to look for info.
My Euphoria folders are getting cluttered up with various windowing
libraries and it's starting to get clumsy to use.
Sorry in advance if this starts a bad discussion thread - it's not meant
as an attack on anyone, just trying to help organise things - a little!
