external gui

http://www.datafilehost.com/d/c5fd34ba

tell me what you think about this , this option gives me the freedom to make my gui in c++ or c# and code the application part in litec or c++/c# or a combination of both .

I wanted a system where I could just do my gui coding and layout in visual studio ,for editor or whatever tool , to make things easier , instead of the litec gui coding parts which I hate ..

also I hate using the gs sdk in combination with c++ winforms when rendering the engine into the forms ..

edit: to clarify ,there is no sdk currently used in this test , there is no gamestudio files or libraries or includes or any kind of gamestudio related coding ,cluttering up the gui part at all

For some things this is very handy, mainly programs or editors and perhaps (serious) simulation games. If you can somehow let the different views/programs (GS and VS) flow more natural in each other and perhaps lock the views to each other if that's possible (moving 1 moves the other, hiding 1 hides the other), than it could be nice for some games too. If that's even possible that is.

I see what you mean , I have been thinking something similar , like embedding the windows into the gamestudio applications window , something along the lines of changing the parent window ..

at this moment it's just a message system , the ui part only broadcasts messages , the main application listens and responds , ofcourse there is one more thing to do to make sure the listener only responds to the exact associated "talker" .
