I don't know but one SuQcess and that's the one of me and Bob Spelten ;) What's in a variable's name. Line 230 comes from my QLDBAS_bas programme; my front end for the DBAS engine. It's 4895 line(s) long, 297.492B once Qliberated. I'll show a demo in Eindhoven at the end of the month... if my laptop is repaired :( EasyMenu is not very good at displaying high colour sprites, you have to fool it by putting a 4/8 mode sprite in front of each high colour sprite. This is not true! Only if you want to have the sprites in mode 4 or 8, too. Wolfgang With my version of Easymenu (Easymenr_cde v3.50, ptrmenr_cde v3.50, easyptr_cde v3.50, easybmen_cde v3.03, easymenu_exe v3.06) the following line doesn't display the high colour sprites at all if they aren't 'glued' to a 4/8 colour sprite. 280 FOR xx= 30 TO 1 STEP -1:MITEM#3,-xx,-2,SPRA(xx):END FOR xx:MLIDRAW#3 But they are displayed correctly if 'glued' to a 4/8 colour sprite. All my sprites are created with a combination of Jérôme's Sprite Editor, PNGConv, BMP2SPRT_obj and chainsprites_bas except for my 4/8 mode sprite used as 'glue'. Is there something wrong with my sprites or in line 280? I suppose my version of Easymenu is the latest official version.

Re: [ql-users] EasyPtr was movig sbasic
gwicks schreef: SNIP When I last saw the upgraded version all it did was allow you to use GD2 colours directly, but nothing else. For example, if you use high resolution sprites you have to load these into EasyMenu every time you make changes to a menu. This is not true. Once your window is ready, save it in the usual way. Create your XXX_cde file (ptrmenr_cde, window definition designed with Easymenu, and add all your sprites ). Of course the sprites have to be in the correct order (first sprite for Loose Item -1, 2nd sprite for Loose Item -2, and so on). In your Sbasic program you could do something like this: (extract from my Front End for DBAS) 230 MDRAW#3,mysuqces$ :REMark mawdraw#3,4 280 FOR xx= 30 TO 1 STEP -1:MITEM#3,-xx,-2,SPRA(xx): :END FOR xx:MLIDRAW#3 Et voilà. Of course you wouldn't see those sprites next time you load EasyMenu to modify a menu but you don't have to reload them each and every time. Mind you (correct English?) EasyMenu is not very good at displaying high colour sprites, you have to fool it by putting a 4/8 mode sprite in front of each high colour sprite. This can be done with a small sbasic program Wolgang Lenerz published somewhere (on this list or in QLToday).It is about 20 lines long and is called 'chainsprites_bas'. I have created tens of sprites with this method. I have been using this for quite some time now, even in my Email reader. Easymenu can do much more than we first thought. SNIP It would be helpful if we could have an indication how far EasyPtr has developed and what is left to do. Then the sort of suggestions that Per made could be considered. BTW this is just the sort of topic that could be discussed at Eindhoven on 18th June if we are successful in getting the After-Glow Show off the ground, That would be a good idea!

Franois Van Emelen The traders are also unlikely to be in Eindhoven before 18th June. If it helps, I can accept payment via my Dutch Postbank Giro account.

If you're interested, send me an Email. As I don't feel like sending the goods by mail, you'll have to come to QL2004 or ask someone to get one, some or all the pieces of hardware for you.
