GUi demo

[Josh]

This shows what I've got working so far. It's creating a GUI directly on the Window and uses GDI+ for rendering. Notice there's no shaders, textures, etc. included because no 3D rendering context is needed.

 

It works well on Intel graphics but I am getting a lot of flashing when I scroll the listbox. There's also a lot of flashing when the window is resized.

 

I'd be interested to hear your feedback.

Looking pretty good. I am getting a lot of flashing as well on various things:

- When the checkbox is checked/unchecked, the text "Checkbox" flashes - I assume its redrawing everything associated with the checkbox?

- The list is flashing when scrolling

- The textbox flashes when adding new letters

- Everything flashes when window resizes

Okay, I am working to implement double-buffering. It completely removes all flickering and looks really solid.

I updated the demo above with a second exe that adds double buffering. There is a mem leak and the window will go black if you make it redraw enough times, but it's fast and flicker-free.

Christmas, with an emphasis on the "E".

doulebuffered seems to work very well

Updated with Linux build.
