Either Make Buttons with image backgrounds or make images buttons?

[joshuabaker]

Hello,

I am kinda new to Turing and i want to create some really cool buttons from images so that i can make kinda like a slide show program so when you lick the photo it comes on the screen and then allows you to print and set as desktop and stuff like that. If you have any ides on what i can do that would be great. Thanks Alot

Since there is no built-in Turing GUI for that (and even I don't have picture buttons created yet), you should look into creating your own buttons. So in example use Pic.Scale to create thumbnails and use Mouse.Where to turn them into something clickable. There is some command to print (I really don't remember what that may be though), so look into that, try the Turing Walkthrough.

Press F10 in Turing and search for print. You are sure to find the command. You can also make the images editable like make make users able to draw on it like in paint and then save it.

True enough, but do note that Turing's GUI can't work in offscreenonly for some idiotic reason - so if you needed the button to run in a loop with your other code (provided it is offscreenonly) then it will flicker. If you want simplicity, you can work something out, but if you want quality make you own. It all depends on how comfortable you are creating you own method for turning a pic into a homemade button.
