Re: Issues trying to create tabbed pages

Does anyone know how to copy the code out of a forum post here, directly on an iPad? I tried the other day and couldn't select and copy the code in the "CODE" section of the post? On my iPad mini I can copy forum code by pressing and holding finger in the code box until a blue box selects all the c...

Re: File reading, large numbers and database functionality

That's quite some requirements :) The main limitation I see there is the fixed size slots. I guess smart data structure design might be anle to get close to that. I'm sure I must have done something like this when I was writing COBOL about 25 years ago. Unfortunately, that code is long lost, just li...

Re: Faster file read & write data routines (INPUT/OUTPUT)

I'm back to work today after holidays, so my experimentation is on hold for now, but I'll certainly have a look at whatever you put up.

Thanks.

Re: Issues trying to create tabbed pages

Thanks, I'll have a look through next time I get a chance.

As a side issue, does anyone know how to copy the code out of a forum post here, directly on an iPad? I tried the other day and couldn't select and copy the code in the "CODE" section of the post?

Re: Faster file read & write data routines (INPUT/OUTPUT)

Nice. My first foray into sB will be doing quite a bit of data manipulation, so this could be useful.

One thing I didn't realise though, is there no limit on the size of a string in sB?

Re: Issues trying to create tabbed pages

Ahh OK, I didn't think page colour would act like an object. I commented the COLOR option and you are correct, all buttons show through, not that that is what I want, but good to know how it works. I did think of using a sprite to make a mask, but I didn't want multiple whole-screen sprites active, ...

Re: Issues trying to create tabbed pages

By default page is transparent in any place which is not used by an object. OK given the clarification on SPRITE HIT, I've refactored to a separate page just for the tabs, and it seems to be going OK. I'm confused about your above comment though, although it doesn't effect what I'm currently doing....

Issues trying to create tabbed pages

Hi all, I'm having some issues with my first program. I'm trying to create a set of pages with buttons on, and using a tab-like interface along the top to swap between the pages. I want to be able to press a given tab to swap to that page of buttons, along with a relevant visual indicator to the pag...

Re: File reading, large numbers and database functionality

OK, will do. I do need some more experience though before I have a good idea.
