This template can be used to make a MaxGUI window/Canvas and use ifsoGUI as your GUI.

• It will only draw the screen when something in ifsoGUI changes
• Allows for the resizing of the window
• Draws the correct OS pointers instead of ifsoGUI pointers like any good WIndow should
• Handles ifsoGUI events
• Handles system events
• Won't continually redraw using up all of the CPU

This will allow you to have a Windows app with an ifsoGUI skin and the app will only redraw when it needs to, instead of constantly redrawing the screen over and over like you normally would in a full screen app.  Of course, you can change it to continually redraw if you need to, while still using the other benefits like system mouse pointers.

Here is a function you can call that will set the Windows System Pointer if you are using MaxGUI.  It reads what pointer ifsoGUI wants to display and then sets the system pointer instead.  This way you still get the pointer changes, but you do not have to have specially drawn ones.

Set ifsoGUI to not draw the mouse (GUI.SetDrawMouse(False)) , then call this function after calling GUI.Render or GUI.Refresh.

The forums are not used much unless somebody finds a bug.  But, I do still keep an eye on the site.

It looks like you have made quite a few improvements.  Good job.

What does SetAlwaysOnBack do?  Is it a call back of some sort?

There have been some people who made skins, but they are using them in their apps, which they want to be unique, so they do not share them.

Hi, guys where are you? Are you still using ifsogui? im using it daily, because my current project use ifsogui so much. My ifsogui module is currenytly so heavily modified from original so i cannot anymore give update, because that will brreak the old code.

Hey Guys -

I just bought ifsoGUI and was very impressed with how easy it was to skin. Good job on the implementation!

Here's a pic of my skin

Thanks for managing this over the years, it was the best fantasy football pool I've been a part of.  ~Lonestar

Thanks for the years!

Sorry to see them go, but I understand.  Hope all is going well.
