GUI - Relationships

TheEvilOne · **Posted:** Mon Apr 18, 2005 7:40 am

Alright, heres my current dilemma:

I am in the process of taking my "Portable Map Creator" and putting it into a GUI based system, where you can basically create a new map, import tiles, place tiles, save map, import into turing, etc.

In the turing reference, under frames it states:
Frames are the only GUI widgets that can have other widgets placed within them. Frames are passive widgets, meaning that they do not respond to button clicks or keystrokes.

I was under the impression that meant that frames could be used to make parent/child relationships between the frame and other objects.
What I am trying to do is this: I am trying to find out how to create a canvas, inside the frame, as a child object. So far, I havent been able to find a way to do it. Any ideas? Crying or Very sad

take a look at this. I used this for one of my games that I made, and rpg, and the coding may not be perfect since I used it for my own use, and wouldn't really care what anyone thought about it, but there might be some stuff on there that may help you out.

It seems to crash because of an Access Violation Crying or Very sad

Oh, my bad, you just have to change line 37. I forgot to set it to default to a blank image, not a previous made one.

code:

pic (upper (pic)) := Pic.FileNew (filename)

% To

pic (upper (pic)) := Pic.New (a, b, c, d)

Ok... well its kinda what im doing. Except mine is a lot more advanced. My only problem right now is the canvas not working right. Other than that, you can create, open, modify, save, and load maps into turing.

I guess ill just find some other way to do it.

GUI = not more advanced. It practically does everything for you. Yeah it looks fancier, but fancy doesn't mean advanced.
GUI = more user friendly.

Ok sorry. Not more advanced, just more options that im creating, that I didnt see in yours, like collision, tile editing, and that you can import more tiles.

Didnt mean to offend Confused
