Hey all,

I've created a nice looking menu system you can use in your PB programs.  Good for level editors and that sort.

I'm pretty new to PB, so there may be some stuff here that could be made more efficient.  Also I'm aware that there could be more comments, but I hope you can follow it :)

EDIT:
The indentation is wacked on the forum, if you want a copy I'll email it to you.

That's nice...  avoids the need to subclass the PB window with rob's dll..  Very cool..

Since true type text is such a bottle neck, thign slike this can really benefit from using their own font, converted to a bitmap font..

If you add this to the start,  it'll convert the default font into a bitmapped version.  The pixels will be of colour $111111  .. So just off black

makebitmapfont 1,$111111

Cool, thanks for the tip :)  That sped it up almost 3 fold.  Is there any easy way to be able to switch between font colours?  If not, I would suggest lightening the blue of the menu mouseover background to RGB(100, 100, 255)... then it looks good :)

Hi Jeku, nice code, I tried to make a GUI, but it turned out like money snot :)

As for multiple font colors, just make multiple fonts  :D
IE: MyFont(1); MyFont(2)

Here is a nice little snippet I wrote to make "cool" looking gradient styled text, it's kinda sloppy I think, but its pretty ok:

PlayBASIC Code: [Select]
`Load the Font And shade it
Psub CreateFont(FontSize)
   DeleteFont 1: GameFont=GetFreeFont()
   LoadFont "Arial bold",GameFont,FontSize,0
   MakeBitmapFont GameFont,$ff
   CreateImage 1,FontSize*2,FontSize*2: RenderToImage 1
   For X=1 To FontSize*2
  If X>5
     If GrnON=0 Then Green=Green+24
     If Green>255 Then Green=255
  EndIf
  LineC 0,0+x,FontSize*2,0+x,RGB(Green,215,Green)
   Next X
   RenderToScreen: BlendBitmapFont GameFont,1: SetFont GameFont
   DeleteImage 1
EndPsub



DualCore Intel Core 2 processor @ 2.3 ghz, Geforce 8600 GT (latest forceware drivers), 2 gigs of ram, WIN XP home edition sp2, FireFox 2.

This is really good. If you don't mind I shall pinch this and use it in one of my projects - crediting you of course. I prefer menus that pop up when you depress the right mouse button and perform the selected function when you release the right mouse button, like the good 'ol Amiga. I made a few changes to get this to happen -

In the main loop change:

menu_Id$ = DoMenu()

To:

If MouseButton()=2
menu_Id$ = DoMenu()
EndIf

And in the DoMenu() function change:

If (MouseButton() = 1)
// menu item clicked
menu_Id$ = MainMenus(j).Id$
// close the menu
bOverMenu = False
EndIf

To:

If (MouseButton() = 0)
// menu item clicked
menu_Id$ = MainMenus(j).Id$
// close the menu
bOverMenu = False
EndIf

Of course, it would be my pleasure to see someone else use this code in a project :)
