 Simple Text Menu

 Simple Text Menu

 While tinkering last night, I wrote a simple menu library that lets the programmer define a list of text options that can have a key and mousing bindings as well.   The library is more a starting point than a end product, but it shows a way how we can wrap a system into library that help us separate that functionality from the main program.   The user can tag a function (by name) that is called when any option is clicked or the key binding is pressed.  


Example:

 So our processing loop looks like this..

PlayBasic Code:
	loadfont "verdana",1 , 48


		cr$=chr$(10)+chr$(13)

	
		Options$ =" L) Load File        [BindKey=38][OnClick=LOAD_FUNCTION]"+cr$
		Options$+=" S) Save File        [BindKey=31][OnClick=SAVE_FUNCTION]"+cr$
		Options$+=" D) Delete File        [BindKey=32][OnClick=DELETE_FUNCTION]"+cr$


	//  
	GUI_CREATE_SIMPLE_MENU(Options$)


	Do	
		cls $304050
		
		 GUI_UPDATE_SIMPLE_MENU_INPUTSTATE()
		 GUI_DRAW_SIMPLE_MENU()
	
	
		action$=GUI_Get_SIMPLE_MENU_CLICKS()
	
		if Len(Action$)
				Index=FunctionIndex(Action$)
				if Index
						CallFunction Action$
				endif
		endif	
		 
		sync
	loop



Function LOad_Function()
	cls 255
			print "LOAD FUNCTION"
EndFunction

Function SAVE_Function()
	cls $00ff00
			Print "SAVE FUNCTION"
EndFunction

Function DELETE_Function()
	cls $ff0000
			Print "DELETE FUNCTION"
EndFunction
	




COMMANDS USED: LOADFONT | CHR$ | CLS | LEN | SYNC | PRINT |




COMPLETE EXAMPLE:

PlayBasic Code:
	loadfont "verdana",1 , 48


		cr$=chr$(10)+chr$(13)

	
		Options$ =" L) Load File        [BindKey=38][OnClick=LOAD_FUNCTION]"+cr$
		Options$+=" S) Save File        [BindKey=31][OnClick=SAVE_FUNCTION]"+cr$
		Options$+=" D) Delete File        [BindKey=32][OnClick=DELETE_FUNCTION]"+cr$


	//  
	GUI_CREATE_SIMPLE_MENU(Options$)


	Do	
		cls $304050
		
		 GUI_UPDATE_SIMPLE_MENU_INPUTSTATE()
		 GUI_DRAW_SIMPLE_MENU()
	
	
		action$=GUI_Get_SIMPLE_MENU_CLICKS()
	
		if Len(Action$)
				Index=FunctionIndex(Action$)
				if Index
						CallFunction Action$
				endif
		endif	
		 
		sync
	loop

 Custom File Dialog

By: Kevin Picone Added: September 14th, 2009

Category: All, Menus, Gui


This example creates a custom file dialog/file requester for use in your PlayBasic programs. It was originally written for friends map editor project about 7/8 years ago in another language. Then was later on updated for PB. Those with long memories will no doubt remember it being part of the original example pack. This version is basically the same, except for a few minor improvements.

 MenuGUI

A simple way to add a menu system to your PB game! Have one level of submenus and checkbox support. Should be easy enough to expand and customize to your liking.

I apologize for the amount of magic numbers and I'll go in there when I have time to fix that.
