I vaguely remember somebody already done this... Not sure how far they
got though.

I also know of somebody that used the Cairo Backend for fpGUI.

I don't really know much about OpenGL, but I assume it would be even
easier to do once the "single handle per Form" branch has been merged
in. All widgets on a form are then simply "painted widgets" and not real
windows [with a window handle each]. OpenGL should like that design
more. ;-)

Regards,
  Graeme.


ps #1:
Please move further fpGUI discussions to the fpGUI newsgroups. Thanks.


ps #2:
The [http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/apidocs/index.html] URL is back and
working again.

Graeme, as we are at this issue:

A person in the German Lazarus forum might want to use fpGUI with OpenGL 
as a Backend.


Is this viable ? Any chance ?

Thanks,
-Michael

The examples are designed to demonstrate one single (simple) topic at a
time. I found that easier to digest than lots of complex examples.

Oh, thanks for bringing that to my attention. It seems BeyondCompare's
syncing killed the symlink. Please try the following URL for now - that
will work.

  http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/docs-1.0/index.html


I'll fix the symlink first chance I get.


For any future fpGUI support, could you please use the dedicated
newsgroups for that. I don't want to step on the toes of the FPC guys.
Thanks.

That is a very old and outdated document which I really should remove.

I'll take a look, but it worked here when I generated the v1.0 release docs.

Offline documentation can also be downloaded from SourceForge.

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/fpgui/files/fpGUI/Documentation/

DocView (the official fpGUI documentation viewer) binaries can also be
downloaded from SourceForge, or you can compile the 'docview' project
yourself. DocView is used to view the INF help files.
