Hello, for a few days now I've been working on a program you could use to create GUIs for your BASIC programs. This program is based on defining clickable areas. The only real downside is that the inputs for the commands are stored in a list.
What kinds of elements can it render? Do you have any screenshots demonstrating how it works? What inspired you to create this project?
it can render a mouse, a large window, a small window and a clickable area. And sorry, but no screenies yet. But here's some syntax
Code:
Large Window:
{1}
prgmGUI
Small Window:
{2}
prgmGUI
Mouse:
{3}
prgmGUI
Make a Clickable Area:
{5, top left X, top left Y, bottom right x, bottom right Y}
prgmGUI
returns: id to ans
Return if a clickable area has been clicked:
to be continued...
Thanks, that helps. How fast is the mouse? It seems like you have a fairly good design so far; keep us posted on progress.

{6, Gui item id}
prgmGUI
//returns: 1 or 0 depending if area was clicked
//Return mouse click Coordinates:
{7}
prgmGUI
//Returns: a list containing the coordinates of the last mouse click
also to answer your question kerm, the mouse is fast but not exactly smooth.
Shouldn't the {7} function be unnecessary? I would expect {3} (the mouse function) to return both the coordinates of the click and the ID (if any) of the item clicked on. That's what the DCSB Libs
GUIMouse does, anyway.
Edit: By not smooth, you mean it skips? What's the granularity, 8 pixels per jump? 4?
well kerm im trying to keep it simple and fast. thats why i used an axe writen asm program to do the drawing. everything else is in basic though.
one cool thing about the whole id system is that you can store it to a variable to use it again later.
example:
Code:
{5,1,1,10,10}
prgmGUI
ans→a
{3}
prgmGUI
{6,a}
If ans
then
Disp "you clicked it"
End
