Note: this example uses the GDImage 4.02 Clock gadget.

Added:
The button "Next image" to select a new image using the built-in GDImage image selector (with thumbnail preview).

Looks impressive. But i see only one window and a clock.
How many controls will benefit from this amazing design?

I have added the button "New image" to select a new picture, using the built-in GDImage file selector with thumbnail preview.

>>How many controls will benefit from this amazing design?
Well, it requires much extra work to achieve a complete GUI like in BassBox or MovieBox, but this is out of the scope of the demo, which purpose was to explain how to embed a GDImage graphic control into Phoenix.

Added:
So far Phoenix seems to be the easiest PB's third party addon (with SDK style) to use with GDImage.

However, like all PB's addon, it has a limited VISTA compatibility and it is not able to take advantage of the DWM composited mode. Perhaps version 3.0

The Phoenix/GDImage project has been updated, to show you the powerful GDImage clone feature.

Make sure to try it, using this link:

In case you don't have Phoenix, the EXE is in the BIN subfolder, and the PowerBASIC source code is in the GDImage folder.
