So what's that damn Pete up to now? - Pete - 03-05-2024
Glad you asked.
Well, since March is QB Coding month, I decided to at least take a shot at "pruddying" up some of my older SCREEN 0 programs. One area that I'd like to improve upon is buttons. Now I have cheated a bit in the past, by using hardware acceleration to display graphics buttons in SCREEN 0. I'm sure I'll be going to Hell for that... but how bad can Text Hell be?
There are times I have wished we could reassign bit values to ASCII characters. I'd make the border characters have the lines displayed on the outside margins of the 8 x 8 pixel blocks. Atari allowed for that feature. That would make it possible to color inside the border. The next best thing is probably this...
[Latest Update Here: https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2483&pid=23598#pid23598] Includes 3 different types of buttons: Text-Hybrid, Graphics, and HTML.

If I tweak it more it will be by using the QB64 RGB color statements to improve on the shades of grey.
Use the mouse to hover and left click.
If anyone else has some nifty button stuff to share, please post 'em.

It almost looks like a game. I kept opening boxes, hoping for a prize. Could you at least send me a tee-shirt?

QB-Tip #1 setup a box or button type: label, x, y, w, h maybe colors fore and back then you can create a button sub and along with a draw button sub by index! then use your buttons for mouse zone click checks by going through buttons array by index.
