Are there any information for us what's the actual progress of that feature and how it will be used?
As easy as the other panel-button-etc.-elements?

if there is no progress indicator it mostly means %0.

Conitec time doesn't apply here, as we haven't yet told anything about when we're going to develop the GUI DLL. But if many people are interested in this DLL, we can give it a higher priority.

On my feature request list it's right on the top

So what about the other developer, who making 2D user interface(s) - for what list box, combo box etc. are essential GUI elements ?!?

also one of my favorite feature requests, this would make the development of tools a lot easier

Again to the question of the implementation - will it be similar to the button functions etc.?
At all, why as a DLL and not as standard 3dGS commands?

Because we don't want to make the engine MFC dependent. Thus it has to be a DLL.

It will not be very similar to panel/button functions. The Windows GUI elements are quite different to the GUI for games and multimedia apps.

I'd put my vote in. Busting out a few tools to help the development of specific applications is extremely helpful, and such a DLL would make that a lot easier.

If it came out soon, I bet you'd see a tonne of its usage in the latest AUM contest.

Ok, the GUI DLL just jumped upwards in priority.
