Welcome to the inaugural release of KiXforms.NET. Kixforms.NET contains a wealth of resources designed to help you build powerful scripts based on Microsoft's .NET Framework technology. 
 The KiXforms.NET (Alpha) development build can be found here:
 
 KiXforms.NET (Alpha) Development Build
 
 Jooel Nieminen (our very own Lonkero) co-developed some of the classes in KiXforms.NET. The Math library and most of the File object and Streamers were developed by Jooel. From what I understand, Jooel is currently developing more goodies - to be found in a future release.
 
 Please download Kixforms Designer .NET. Its purpose is to help teach and design forms using KiXforms.NET. As an Alpha it is still under development. KiXforms Designer was written by Dale G. (benny69) - an Information Technology Specialist from Lincoln, Ne. The latest package and information on Kixforms Designer can be found here:

are you saying that KF.net will work without Kix on a system? or that it includes it

Here's a fun little script that was written early on in the development of kf.net - when I was testing-out the graphics ... it was meant to be an "Introduction to Kixforms.Net" script ... not sure how it will play-out on everyones machines (horse-power etc), but give a try...
 Code:
 
 Break On
 
 $System = CreateObject("Kixforms.System")
 
 ; Options
 
 $BURST = 0 ; 0 = staggered 1 = batch
 $TITLE = "Introducing KiXforms.NET"
 $TEXT = "KiXforms.NET"
 
 $Form = $System.Form()
 $Form.ClientWidth = 500
 $Form.ClientHeight = 250
 $Form.StartPosition = $System.FormStartPosition_CenterScreen
 $Form.FormBorderStyle = $System.FormBorderStyle_FixedDialog
 $Form.MaximizeBox = 0
 $Form.Font = $System.Font("Helvetica", 36, $System.FontStyle_Bold)
 $Form.Text = $TITLE
 
 $PictureBox = $System.PictureBox()
 $PictureBox.Dock = $System.DockStyle_Fill
 $= $Form.Controls.Add($PictureBox)
 
 $Bitmap = $System.Bitmap.FromSize($PictureBox.Size)
 
 $Graphics = $System.Graphics.FromImage($Bitmap)
 $Graphics.Clear($System.Color.Black)
 
 $Brush = $System.SolidBrush($System.Color.Black)
 $TextBrush = $System.SolidBrush($System.Color.White)
 
 $PictureBox.Image = $Bitmap
 
 $d = $PictureBox.ClientSize
 $numrockets = 8;
 $num = 16;
 
 Global $xcoord[$numrockets*$num-1];
 Global $ycoord[$numrockets*$num-1];
 Global $xspeed[$numrockets*$num-1];
 Global $yspeed[$numrockets*$num-1];
 Global $count[$numrockets-1];
 Global $exploding[$numrockets-1];
 
 For $i = 0 to $numrockets - 1
 $count[$i] = 60 + iif($BURST=0,$i * 16, 0)
 $exploding[$i] = 1
 Next
 
 For $i = 0 to $numrockets * $num - 1
 $xcoord[$i] = Cint($System.Math.Random()*$d.width)*8
 $ycoord[$i] = $d.height*8
 $xspeed[$i] = 0;
 $yspeed[$i] = 0;
 Next
 
 $Timer = $System.Timer
 $Timer.Interval = 1000/24
 $Timer.Tick = "TimerTick()"
 
 $Form.Show
 $Timer.Start
 
 While $Form.Visible
 $= Execute($Form.DoEvents)
 Loop
 
 Exit 0
 
 Function TimerTick()
 
 $Graphics.Clear($System.Color.Black)

 If $xspeed[$index] >= 0
 $xspeed[$index] = $xspeed[$index] + 1
 EndIf
 Next
 EndIf
 
 For $j = 0 to $num - 1
 $index = $i * $num + $j;
 If $exploding[$i] = 1
 Select
 Case ($i mod 3) = 0
 $color = $System.Color.FromRgb(192,$count[$i]+32,$count[$i]+127)
 Case ($i mod 3) = 1
 $color = $System.Color.FromRgb($count[$i]+32,192,$count[$i]+127);
 Case ($i mod 3) = 2

 EndSelect
 Else

Shawn,
 Thanks much as usual for all the time and effort put into this cool KiXtart utility.
 
 Since you're on the cutting/bleeding edge with this, take a peek at this article for the upcoming Vista.
