Hi there, I wonder if there is such things as a menu for all the .exe that I have?

For example:

button 1 is for .exe 1
button 2 is for .exe 2
button 3 is for .exe 3
and so on...

so basically when I press button 1, .exe 1 will run automatically and so on...

O by the way, can I also make it animated?

Thanks if there is someone who can teach me.

better than ever

If you want a menu, you have to code it yourself. There is no "MAKE MENU" type commands.

Sure can. The way I would tackle this is to use sprites (which can be animated). So basically place a few sprites around the screen. Then to add the clicking effect you'll need to check the mouse's x values and y values against the sprites' values to see if the sprite has been clicked on. If true then use the command "Execute Executable" to launch the applications. Hope that gets you on track

Hi kulet; assuming the menu you require is in your own program and not the IDE; if you want to create the code for the menu to load specific files; one way it could be done is to create an array

and iterate through the array in a loop

and draw the menu.

If the mouse clicks
in the menu item, perform your execute file command
on the array index.

You can also use [Find First] and [Find Next] in conjunction with other file commands, described in the help documentation, to search for exe's in a folder; but this may not be a secure feature in this scenario.
