procedure inside a procedure?

[jbiz]

when creating buttons, i can create a button fine, and can get this to go to a new page, but whenever i try to create a button on that new page, it says "procedure's may only be declared at the program, module, or monitor level" How do you get around this?

For example :
(this is when it screws up)

import GUI
var mainbutton, pepsibutton, starPic : int
procedure maincourses
cls
var font4 : int
font4 := Font.New ("BinnerD:16")
assert font4 > 0
Font.Draw ("What would you like?", 240, 450, font4, blue)
Font.Free (font4)

procedure pepsi
put "Pepsi"
end pepsi

end maincourses

mainbutton := GUI.CreatePictureButton (50, 50, starPic, maincourses)

pepsibutton := GUI.CreatePictureButton (275, 150, starPic, pepsi)

You simply don't put procedures inside other procedures.

is there another way to do what i'm trying to do then?
or should i just go to an if statement?

What is your point for having a procedure inside the other one? Do you want the "inner" procedure to access the variables of the "outer" procedure? Are you trying to create a scope or namespace?

I'm trying to create buttons..
trying to have several main buttons
and then once one of the main buttons is clicked,
another menu with further button options is available to be chosen

That doesn't actually require you to have procedures inside of other procedures. A button can point to any procedure within its scope.

sorry?
please explain..

code:

import GUI procedure maincourses    ... end maincourses procedure pepsi    put "Pepsi" end pepsi mainbutton := GUI.CreatePictureButton (50, 50, starPic, maincourses) pepsibutton := GUI.CreatePictureButton (275, 150, starPic, pepsi)

Are you learning procedures and GUI by yourself? Or did your teacher go through this with you?

[jbiz]

basically just by myself..

and tony, i think i get what you're saying, but won't that just display all of the buttons on a single page?

im trying to have : once a button is clicked, a new page with more buttons is available

you can create buttons inside procedures, but the procedure that the button links to can be elsewhere.

You can also enable/disable/hide buttons so that only the right content appears on each "page"
