Code: Select all
' Windows "message" function.
' The only argument is a string to be displayed in a window.
' The size of the window is calulated by the function,
' dependent on the number of characters in the string,
' the font size, and the aspect ratio of the window.
' The window is placed in the centre of the screen.
' Pushing the ok button will remove the message and restores
' the previous content of the screen.
' Font size must be defined in a global variable, as the
' message function refers to it. For the time being it is
' simply set in the main program (fs=20). In a future version
' of SB we might be able to get it using a command like
' fs=GET FONTSIZE.
' The aspect ratio of the window is set in the first instruction
' in the function (aspect=2).
' When used for iPhone or iPod, i recommend a fontsize of 10-12
' and an aspect ratio of 1.
' Extreme values for font size and/or aspect ratio may give
' unsatisfactory results.
' A slightly adapted version of the w_open function is used.
' The function gen_str$ is not nessecary, it is used here
' to generate some (rubbish) strings.
