Menu Help
08 Aug 2017 04:40:11 pm

Hi I was wondering if anybody can help me, basically I wan't to know if you can make a menu title take up multiple lines like you can with the Display command.

Example with Display command: :Disp "First Line","Second Line","Third Line"

You could create a custom menu that scrolls horizontally.

You should seriously take a look at This resource. It has all the commands and syntaxes you'll ever need to know for Basic.
Just hit Ctrl+F and type "menu", Bam! The menu command pops up. Very Happy

Also, the search bar in the corner is there for a reason Wink

Well, you could create a menu loop (and use Output( instead of Disp).

Code:




1->X


Output(1,2,"Option 1"


Output(2,2,"Option 2"


Output(3,2,"Option 3"


//etc


Repeat K=105


getKey->K


If Ans


Output(X,1,"_" //one space


X+(K=34)(X>1)-(K=25)(X<8->X


Output(X,1,">"


End

Then you would add If statements to check where the cursor was:

Code:




If X=1:Goto 1


If X=2:Goto 2


If X=3:Goto 3


//etc

Then you would add your labels:

Code:




Lbl 1


//code


Lbl 2


//more code


Lbl 3


//you get the idea

All together, that gives us:

Code:




2->X


Output(1,2,"Option 1"


Output(2,2,"Option 2"


Output(3,2,"Option 3"


//etc


Repeat K=105


getKey->K


If Ans


Output(X,1,"_" //one space


X+(K=34)(X>1)-(K=25)(X<8->X


Output(X,1,">"


End


If X=1:Goto 1


If X=2:Goto 2


If X=3:Goto 3


Lbl 1


//code


Lbl 2


//more code


Lbl 3


//you get the idea

Keep in mind that anything preceded by a "//" is a comment, and should not be typed in.
