Hello, it is me again with another (stupid?) question :

I'm coding a menu for my app (to select levels), and I need to write the level name on every Virtual Button. I wrote this code:



It should create 10 virtualbuttons with "Level 1" ... "Level 10" text. But it fail to compile.
How can I fix it ? thanks

What error message are you getting?

Aside from that, you want to use Str(k) and Str(k+5). The Val function returns the numeric value for a string. The Str function returns a string for a numeric value.

generally the text in virtual button, if too long, exceeds the margins of the button. Making the button bigger doesn't work, because the text fonts become bigger too. In my apps, I have to restrict the length to <6 chars. Have this limitation been superseded in 1.88?
Thanks.

Nope mate, if the text is too long it still exceeds the margin of the button.

Just print the text, grab it as an image and use setVirtualButtonImageDown / Up to set it as an image for the virtual button.

@Luca: thanks! BTW, another Italian! Ciao!
@Impetus73, thanks but it is exactly what I would like to avoid (use an image instead of the text). To control the size of the text inside the button would be great.
