One area I am researching for EZGUI 3.5 is support for Enhanced MetaFiles.MetaFiles can be used to record a group of
GDI calls (meaning it records all your drawing commands like a big macro).
I am considering adding the ability to not
only create and display Metafiles, but to be able to save them (and load them) to a disk file.
I also want to add the ability to save Bitmaps to diskfiles (even though PB 8.0 has this feature now), in different DIB formats.
I also am considering adding a number of easier to use commands for drawing during OwnerDraw events, similiar to what EZGUI 3.0 does with the ownerdraw buttons (2D and 3D). basically this would make it easier to draw ownerdraw stuff with more variety.
I am also researching the DrawDIB functions found in Windows. These functions are part of the multimedia engines in Windows. Their purpose is for drawing based on a set frame rate (animation) with the ability to skip frames when necessary.
