Here's the new version of my FileSelector function for DB Classic.

Being a #Include function, it doesn't use DLLs so it's useful if you don't have the enhanced version of DBC as you can still have a mouse driven graphical interface in your programs when loading or saving files.



Included in the attached zip is the function, a demo program and the documentation file.

[Edit] !!!!! Ignore this download - later version in post below !!!

I think I've ironed out all the bugs, but if you spot anything, please let me know.

Thanks TDK, this is just what my program needed.

The problem with the gaming community is people think that the resolution of a game defines how good it is. I am not afraid to make a game where the main character is 50x50.

Just fixed a bug that I found which only occurred where there was exactly one more file in a folder than the number that can be displayed in the window.

Looks good
No media?
Have you ever tried making a 3D file selector/browser?
I'm thinking of making one. Corridors and rooms representing the file structure.
Not necessarily to be functional, but I'd like to make a game that used information gathered from the computer to create a unique world.

@TDK
I wonder if everyone appreciates just how much work goes into the look of the app alone - let alone it's functionality!

Thank you.

Enjoy your day.

In the compiler that i used before i got DBC, it had a tool that you could make an amazing GUI, and then it pasted that code into your program.

(Y=M*X+B)=(X=(Y-B)/M)=(B=Y-M*X)=(M=Y-B/X)
and if you can figure out what it means i will give you a cookie.

You might want to somehow fix the fact that the program crashes if there are ten files in the directory because you try to divide by zero. (for the 3d mode on at least, I haven't read through your whole script and I used it in a 3d situation). Its really great by the way, and it looks cool.

I'll take a copy. I might turn it into a skinnable version. Thanks!

Luke:

May I refer you to my above post, (dated 15th Aug 2007 17:45).

Did you download that one, (where the bug you mention was supposedly fixed), or the one in the opening post?

O, sorry. I probably downloaded it before you posted that and didn't look at the thread since. I only noticed because I tried to use it in one of my programs yesterday and it wouldn't work. I'll download the new one.

I hate /0, it is the thorn in the paw of programming , it might even be a smilie
Have you tried converting it to "Blah*Blah" as *0 is 0 so no problem there

Try and work out what something/0 is, it's pretty weird lol, the answer is infinity isn't it? Because you can't do it; eg If I have 3 sandwiches (I'm eating a sandwich) and I don't give any to anyone and just leave them on the table, No one has any sandwiches so you might think that the answer was 0, but the sandwiches are still there they haven't vanished!

It seems logical at first that something/0 is an infinitely large number, but when you put it into certain mathematical equations it makes no sense at all.

@Luke
I suppose you're right, because if it was infinity it would be greater than the number to begin with.
