< BlitzMax < Modules < MaxGUI Drivers

This is the new unicode Windows driver for MaxGUI that is designed to take advantage of some of the new GUI features available in Windows XP and Vista.

NOTE: If you would like to use this unicode driver on the older ANSI platforms (e.g. Windows 9X), then you must also import a unicode application layer. For example...

?Win32
Import "-lunicows"
?
Import MaxGUI.Drivers
?

By doing this, your program will be linked with libunicows. Although Windows 2000/XP/Vista users should not notice anything different at run-time, Windows 9X users will require MSLU in order to run your program. This may be distributed with the EXE as a separate DLL or it can be installed as a system-wide package onto the end-user's computer.
