Hi

I am new to this so do try to make it as simple as possible. I want to make a simple game using UI. I have programmed in C++ so I do know my way around. What I would like to know are the following:

-How do I implement mouse click i.e. buttons that do something when clicked on
-How can I implement some form of tabs
-How do I display things on layers i.e. image on background and text on front
-How can I implement gif images that animate when something else happens

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

dbMouseClick, dbMouseX, and dbMouseY are the functions needed for basic mouse input. As far as layers, you simply have to draw in the correct order: text after images.

Well, for the mouse, I simply start off by making an integer that has the Y and X position of the Mouse. Soo I will have something like this:



Then when I want something to happen if I click on an image or something like that, I will get the dimensions. So say if there is a button that starts at 100 and ends at 200 at X axis and Y axis. I will do an if statement like this:



As for gif images, I don't really know about them but you could use sprites and play there frames with dbPlaySprite(ID,Start Frame, End Frame, Delay);

Hope this helps.
