Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Is anyone aware of why the extended GUI commands/functions (eg. switch, display box, area etc.) are not available for VGA and HDMI versions of MMBasic?

I have made extensive use of them in previous projects, some of which I am now trying to port to the RP2350 Pico 2B Computer.

Doug I used a 2350B for my stepper project and it ran fine making the GUI using a 3.5" LCD, got 5 pages working and it's now inhand with the stepper guru's to move forward.

Now in the pico manual it does state with the VGA and HDMI versions of the software won't work so the standard 2350.uf is used.

Hi Doug,
Not sure of exact reason, most likely not enough resources when HDMI or VGA present.
See this thread where a GUI editor was started by @Amnesie that produces MMBasic versions of some of the controls. Not sure how complete it is.

I think its probably also a case of which touch system would be supported? Standard VGA and HDMI displays don't have touch fitted so it's either something proprietary for each display or some sort of third party panel (probably a serial port, although I think there are USB versions now). Either would assume that it was being used on a Windows system so would be designed for control over over a specific Windows driver, unless it simulated a mouse using hardware rather than software. IMHO there are probably too many variations.
