Sorry your browser is not supported!

I am trying to convert code from dbpro to DBC. I am using darkedit and I have exten types checked. But I get an unknow command error on variables inside the type. For example say I want to create a rect type, i have

type rect
trx
try
brx
bry
endtype

[edit]
I think that I figured it out

Had to use dimtype command
dimtype type,array()

trx-bry are all integers that hold the coordinates of a rectangle.

How can I get types to work in Darkedit?

Zen, still need help with this?

Anyway, heres what it says in the darkedit.txt file that comes with it...


Pretty simple I guess, and basically what you posted anyway.

Jessticular,

Yeah I was working through the text. I still wound up working around certain issues. I don't know if there is a limit of variables you can delcare as a particular type without using an array. What I mean is

Say I have a type called rect that hold the topleft and bottomright coordinates of a rectangle

type rect
trx,try,brx,bry
endtype

now lets say I want to have a few zones for an inter face that utilizes that rect type, so:

dimtype rect, EditFormZone
dimtype rect, ButtonZone
dimtype rect, TileSelZone
dimtype rect, ToolSelZone

etc..

This was still giving me an error. The only work around that I could use was this less discriptive array method

dimtype rect, AZone(4)

It works, but now I have to look at a key i made up for the subscripts to know which zone I am referring to.

Hmm,
Yes, I could see how that could get confusing.

I guess you'll just have to use that workaround as you said, since DarkEdit won't be changed anytime soon.

Oh well.

Jess.
