Basic knowledge
HANIF FLAT UI is not use sprites or background anymore, but it’s using built-in functions such as draw_rectangle(...), draw_circle(...) and others. This can reduced the performance of your game, especially in the use of memory, but on other side, you can reduce of resources uses. So use only as needed.
All controls such as button, textbox, checkbox, and others actually is a ds_map data structure, if you have knowledge about these ds_map functions, it will be better. You can even get controls properties with function like ds_map_find_value(...).
HANIF FLAT UI will automatically destroy the entire control or surface that has been made so you do not need to removing it manually with ds_map_destroy (...) and surface_free (...).
