CreateWindowEx ? - aurel - 09-29-2022

Is there any set of examples how to use standard win api controls in QB64?

@aurel Unfortunately, I don't have any simple examples. I do have programs I've made with CreateWindowEx and controls but they are extremely complex and may muddy the waters for you. My best working example is this https://github.com/SpriggsySpriggs/QB64-Win32-Video-Player
I made a video player with Win32 that uses standard Windows controls to control playback and show progress. It also has a menu bar and takes advantage of the TaskDialog API in Win32 as well as the open file dialog. Lots of goodies.
