True. Did the needless update and it solved it ( not so needless after all ! )

Oh sorry it's my fault, i thought every one had that. I'll update the requirements.

I hate ( hate is a strong word, should not use that word ) that unless ... grrr !! 
...unless you install the latest the developer can not work and to support lesser/older versions becomes a problem 

..then everyone needs a setup compatible with the developer's setup so stuff work. Is not the developer's fault but ... is like you'd have to code in Win95 to make sure that stuff is cross-MS-versions, but then again may not work in newer setups, .... so ... .
What I love, just love, about AutoIt is that I never have to worry about any of that. </rant>

Can this be compiled with less requirements ? Like the lowest DirectX and WinXP ?
This you put together is beautiful. Plain beautiful. ❤️
But unless drop and run, is a possible problem for a "user level" environment, where to reach an admin to do anything is a problem.

Also, do add a Sleep(10) in your example's main loop and a #include-once in the UDF

And again, thanks for all this you put together

#include-once
; author:   thedemons

#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <WinAPIDiag.au3>

Global $__imgui_created = False
Global $__imgui_dllpath = @ScriptDir & "\imgui.dll"
If @AutoItX64 Then $__imgui_dllpath = @ScriptDir & "\dll_64\imgui.dll"

#cs
If @AutoItX64 Then $__imgui_dllpath = "imgui_x64.dll" ; <--- this would be better
so that the DLL can be anywhere in a searchable path, say, @SystemDir or what not
#ce

If Not FileGetSize($__imgui_dllpath) Then
    MsgBox(16, "Error", "Cannot find imgui.dll" & @CRLF & "Please update to the latest version of DirectX")
    Exit
EndIf

Global $IMGUI_DLL = DllOpen($__imgui_dllpath)
If $IMGUI_DLL = -1 Then
    MsgBox(16, "Error", "Cannot load imgui.dll" & @CRLF & "Please update to the latest version of DirectX")
    Exit
EndIf

OnAutoItExitRegister(Shutdown_)
Func Shutdown_()
    If $__imgui_created Then _ImGui_ShutDown()
    DllClose($IMGUI_DLL)
;~  FileDelete($__imgui_dllpath)
EndFunc

..this too can make it easier on the user. ( just an idea )

Edit: add a FileVersion to the DLL

The dxdiag 10.00.17763 version cannot be started. Can you match earlier versions of DLL files? Thank you very much, if you can, I'm sure there will be more devices available.

I have no problems with the dlls and compiled exes in my computer. But when i compiled a source, the compiled exe doesn't work on other computers which is same as mine. Eventhough directx requirements you mentioned was installed. I checked imgui.ini and i don't see anything related to Viewports. But in my computer i see viewports id.

The one who made this was last seen over 4 years ago and had only 9 posts. No a regular in the forum.
My advise is to not use this project for avoiding the flicker in your GUI.

@thedemons Nice seeming project, that I have just discovered ... seems (seemed) quite promising.

So for what it is worth, and although it now seems abandoned, I have added it to the following, in the first post.

AutoIt GUI Creators (Designers)

Thanks for sharing.

You should consider creating a runnable script that we can actually test.  I am sure we could help reducing the flicker, but without complete code, there is limits of what we can do...

sorry a  question on the fly but  ingui  library work with autoit 64bit version ?  thanks
