Is FPGUI still active?
Graham1:
I use the standalone FPGUI 1.4.1 (as opposed to the LCL/FPGUI option). There doesn't seem to have been any activity on this project for a long time and its NNTP forum doesn't seem to be responding any more.
Is it still being maintained? If not, is there something similar that people are using now instead?
Thanks!

Hello.
indeed, Graeme (the fpgui maintainer) does not answer for one year already.
There are some pul-request waiting.
We all hope everything is ok for Graeme.

There is mseide-msegui. (where Graeme is also maintainer but not alone)
https://github.com/mse-org/mseide-msegui

Thank you, Fred.
That looks interesting but it appears to be a total replacement for Lazarus? Do you know if it will allow me to compile 32 and 64 bit DLL files (Windows)? My DLLs have forms and LCL doesn't always play happily with the forms in the calling (non-Pascal) EXEs which is why I use FPGUI, but at the same time I'm quite familiar with the Lazarus IDE. My guess is that it will be OK as compiling is a function of FPC rather than the IDE.
Is there an MSE support forum as I'm sure I'm going to have questions?!
Thanks, Graham

Yes, it works too for GUI dll. (I have given a demo here in the forum but cannot retrieve it.)
You may still use Lazarus but then without the form designer.
Otherwise there is mseide, the build-in ide for msegui or ideU (https://github.com/fredvs/ideU/releases/) who is msegui compatible.

You may use the github issues (most easy):
