Hey peepz!

Im getting SICK of that stupid Input command! I can't change the font of it!!!!!! Is this possible? Or is DB just really (...)?

Hey!

From The Netherlands to huh? Haha, funny. O well, you're right.. you can't change the font of the input command. But there is a way around. You can write your own input function using inkey$() and text. That way you can change the font and all. There was a post where somebody posted a code snippet from this function. Try to find that post.

Hope i've helped,

heres the psuedocode for a simple input routine

input_a_line_of_text:

input_string$=""

repeat

get keypress

if keypress = backspace code then input_string$=left$(input_string$,len(input_string$)-1)

if keypress > space and less than capital z then add keypress character to input_string$

repeat <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<this bit just makes the routine wait until
until keydown=0<<<<<<<<<<<you release the key, otherwise the repeat
-------------------------------------rate would be so fast you would get
-------------------------------------something like ttttteeeeesssttt
-------------------------------------when you typed "test"

text 0,0,input_string$+"_ "

until keypress=returnkey code

return

will work, you can then alter the font you are printing and add other editing options as you wish, if I remember I might run up a snippet and post back to this thread
