I need the code, and then I will understand.... kinda weird but true

There's code in the topic, in several places, most recently my post. Did you give it a try? Note that this is DCS-related code, so it's not a violation of the Contest rules.

You also didn't answer my question. And I know what you mean qazz, sometimes it takes example code for me to understand too.

I believe it does, based on what he was explaining about not being able to use the GUIMouse. Let's be careful about getting too deeply into that, though, since this is a contest entry.

Yeah, I am set, no more questions

I will make a new post now that the input ordeal is over

Hahaha, you consider it an ordeal? I look forward to more information after you either implement GUIfied input, or decide not to use the GUIfied input.

Aaaand, implemented!

Thanks for that code Kerm, I made some adjustments though >.> ;D

Now you need a window icon.
Would F8D8A888F8 work?

Sure, though telling me isnt really a good Idea


eh, I already use my own icon, a white square.

You mean a complete blank? It looks to my like your LargeWindow has no icon. Might you consider a GUIRButtonText instead of clicking the close button to send? I think a button that says "Send" would be more intuitive.

nope, it is a white square, not a blank


and, yes, as for buttons, sure, BUT not today, I think I sent enough today.....

Perhaps in a week or so, I need some time to learn the art of C#



EDIT: It is official, TI-MAIL is now in a stable beta! Thanks for the help and support guys, though, no more help, I have to do this by my self now . Also, thanks Kerm for putting up with my constant spam... errr.. emails with latest betas

Any time, it's my job, for better or worse. Good luck with the C#, hope you get to explore the DCS GUI API more soon.

Sure thing, once again please do excuse my constant beta's, I am kinda new at external libraries, but I am getting better, and more familiar with the DCS ones...

Glad to hear it. I'll just need to be sure to clean out my Cemetech folder of my email once the contest is over.

@qazz42 very cool! Two things: 1) you might want to center the text in the loading/sending screens, and 2) Rather than displaying text on the homescreen and using the Menu( command, try displaying that on the graphscreen with Text( and DCS gui magic. Otherwise, looks great!

@you
It would be interesting to be able to read unique (or effectively unique) identification numbers for calculators... *Kerm call* would it be remotely possible for DCS to spit out a calc's id#?

Outside of linking (qazz's TImail, and perhaps keeping track of high scores in games), id numbers could be used as cryptographic keys to, say, prevent a program from being (easily) shared.

Admittedly, that's a pretty narrow range of applications, but it would be intriguing nonetheless.

haha, thanks rthprog, problem is that to "getcalc" the other calculator must be in a power saving state, the GUImenu isn't a power saving state



Kerm, I agree with rthprog, DCS should be able to assign calculator IP addresses

Perhaps the xLIB library may be of use to you. It would be more complicated, but it would be really cool. Essentially what you would do is make a graphscreen menu styled similarly to DCS using xlib-- since it uses getKey, you _should_ be able to send/receive.

While I really shouldn't give you menu code, pseudocode should be just fine. I think.


Code:

Yay, someone agrees with me Thing is, your calculator already has a serial number; there's just no way to get to it in TIBasic. I recall Brandon somehow did something involving that a while back...

I thought Brandon did something to DELETE the ID code...

HA, he _would_ do something like that... anyways, apparently my *Kerm call* didn't work. i mean, come on, what kind of an admin is he if he's not online 24/7, constantly refreshing active threads in search of any hint of trouble?

Oh please, you are never around when he "rthprog calls" or you dont respond... XD
