hi all, I need a inputbox.

Before the main game, I need a inputbox that accept input from user and make that input message as a parameter. And then, go ahead the main game.

How can I achieve this? Thanx.

scenario:
I have a game, I need the player type his name first, and then enter the game. There is a char to save that name, and display it on screen when the game is running.

I'm going to suggest looking at combo boxes:

Combo boxes don't really make any sense. What he wants to do is get typed input returned as a char* or array. dbInput() can be used for this with the least flexibility but highest ease of use.

Additionally, you can use dbInk() and dbSetCursor before the input command to move the cursor to a more ideal location. However, this is still very limited.

Essentially all text/print settings apply to dbInput(), be it color, font, size, or face.


My site, for various stuff that I make.
