[source] Alert Window

[Tony]

I don't think that GUI.Alert works atleast I don't remember it working... ever

ether way, here's how to write your own alert window to display a message to the user. File Attached

[Paul]

do u really need this line?

code:

Window.SetActive (oldwinID) %go back to previous window

Oh btw, Im going to use this for a board game if its ok with u.

[Tony]

just don't forget to cite the code (just mention compsci.ca or something)

and you don't really need that line... but just in case multiple windows are already running

[Paul]

I didn't put compsci lol, cause my teacher is paranoid of compsci, like as if we're copying everything off compsci. Thats why I used my name for username see? Anyway, I cited u personally.

[Tony]

lol, if your teacher is paranoid of compsci, he should browse [Turing Source Code] section then

I mean when writing the essay in english, you're not expected to come up with eveyrthing yourself. In fact - you often have to cite multiple sources for the paper to look desent. And I feel that when working on a CS project, you should be allowed to research components of it as well (provided you cite code taken)

I really disagree with you tony you should make all the code yourself .... instead of taking others coding... but whatever... suit yourselves.

[the_short1]

u can just do this..

var alert : int := Window.Oen ("graphics: 300;300")
put "fatal error"
put "press any kley to contiunue..
loop
exit when hasch
end loop
Window.Close (alert)
Window.Select ("defWinID")


but ur way is cool cuz it uses a function...

so..... we should sign a petition to make holtsoft fix certain things or were going to kill their server... and put in out own source codes and .tu s to fill in the gaps... then delete all stuff from tom west

That is one of the dumest things i have ever hured. think about if poleop in the real world flowed that rule. in real progaming u allways use APIs and libarays made by other poleop, it just makes no sence to remake everything every time u make a simple app. If u realy falowed your rules to the fullests you whould have to progame everything in binnary code and make your own computer out of the rock you mineded out of your back yard. In the real world no game or software comapny is going to remake everything for there new game or w/e. they whould uses like openGl or dircet x to make there 3d stuff witch are libs made by other poleop and they whould probly uses APIs and libs from other poleop, comapnys and from the poleop that made the lang they are using.

[Tony]

and you thought I was crazy arguing with Delta all the time

[the_short1]

good speech there dan..

tony ??? since when u always arguing with delta...


my opinion... as long as everything is well documented in credits... **visible credits... then its all good....

but... this is source code so we shouldn't all be spamming in here

I liked the idea, so I meesed around with your code a bit to make it look nicer (it's done in GUI style). Here's my version:

[the_short1]

very nice.... lookz better the n the original...

[Paul]

eew... I don't like GUI, my own buttons looks much better to me... they're colorful

[Tony]

nice
'cept that if GUI module is used elsewhere in the program - using the quit button inside the procedure will result is the global shutdown of the GUI.

there're two solutions. Ether

code:

loop  if GUI.ProcessEvent then  end if  if %button_has_been_pressed (a flag variable could be used) then   exit  end if end loop

or reset the ProcessEvent function using this

[the_short1]

yes TONY!!!! u use the



if GUI.ProcesssEvent then
end if

isntead of the looping way.!!!

its so much better... your the first person besides myself that ive saw acually do it that way... cool stuff
stupid ppl that made turing ... the looping way put back me learning GUI for weeks... cuz it would freeze program until it acually came up with that...



yes i agree with u paul.... making ur OWN GUI buttons using multiple pictures / colors etc so it apears animated is much better.!!!

ok.... THANKS!!! u just gave me an idea.... ill make a turoial on how to make ur own animated GUI buttons!!!
