Hi Marcelo, and welcome to the VDSWORLD forums... Smile

You could use the browser element to show the BMP with, but that way you can't use normal VDS styles and events with it, like "click" and so on. Another way to do it is by using the vdsdll 3, from Tommy Sools, which has a "wnd" command if I'm right. Still looking for a place to download it... Rolling Eyes

Yes, the VDSDLL has a scroll for the VDS Dialogs.

Hi,

You can download the latest compatible package for VDS 5 at:
http://www.vdsworld.com/vdsdll/vds5/3.18/vdsdll3s.zip

Try it again using the new package if you were experiencing errors the first time. Smile

If you're using VDS 5, you will need to define the commands and functions
that come with the DLL.

Try this example:

i got the following...

"Error: in external command or function at line 9"

I tried it also with the #define and got the same error.

Was this .dll ever upgraded to work with VDS5?

Please make sure you are using the package I mentioned above. Smile

I think I downloaded it directly from your post .... I'll double-check.

You might want to try downloading this updated DLL directly instead:

FreezingFire, shouldn't we put a .zip online which contains all vdsdlls from
which we are sure that they're compatible with vds5, together with the
examples?

I think it's a bit difficult to understand (for newbies at least Wink

) because
there're different versions of the dll everywhere.

I think Tommy will put out a new version since he may be not as busy soon.
I can't speak for certain however, and you should probably ask him
before distributing his files in a different package. Smile

You know, I tried downloading from the link above, but keep getting errors. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I assume the example has worked for others with VDS5?
