TI-BASIC Menu(): More than 7 options?

Lets say that I want to make a basic program and this program required a menu with more than seven options. Is this possible? If so, how?
The only way I know of getting a longer menu is for it to be done from assembly. How that is done depends if you are going to inline asm text or if a library exists that makes menus

Apart from writing your own menu system, you could have the last one or two selections toggle "pages"—that is, take you to different menus.

Yeah, I second the pages suggestion. I generally would do it as the first menu's last option is "Next Page", the next menus have the first option as "Previous Page", up to five actual options, and then "Next Page", and the last menu has "First page" as its final option.
This wouldn't be very good unless you do use inline assembly, but you could try simulating the menu function in basic :-\

Or better yet, you could just use the DCSB Libs GUIMenu function. Wink

Kind of the same thing Very Happy

If that eventually calls a dialog function, then that's what I was getting at

I personally Use a text/getKey Menu. Ex.


Code:

Text(0,0,"MENU  TITLE"
Text(6,0,"1.Menu Option 1
Text(12,0,"2.Option 2.
Etc..
Repeat Ans
getKey->K
End
If K=92 (getKey value for 1.)
Then
Do option 1
End
If K=93( Getkeys Value for number 2)
Then
Do Option 2
End


Or what I am working on right now is a moving sprite to make my menu.but that is a bit more complex, And requires you to know how to move sprites around. I can show you some code for that if you would like.

Speaking of DCSB Menu function, is there a way to specify the menu size? Smile

You mean the size of the small window, or the number of items? If you mean the window size, I'm afraid it's fixed at the size of a standard GUIRSmallWin.
I meant the window size, and aw. D:

Why is that bad? Is it the wrong size for a certain application that you need?

When I tried to make RPG battle engine with it long time ago, it covered almost all of the screen D:

I guess there's not much bad point with it, but sometimes, I just wish that the window size could be changed.
