Hallo Forum Members,

First of all Sorry for my bad English, i am from Netherlands.

Today i got my DakGDK.net and i start studing, the progress is going well except 1 thing and that is Text Class.

How can i declare text?

i tried it like this.


Dim txtHallo as DarkGDK.Text
Dim txtBye as DarkGDK.Text

txtHallo.showtext("Hallo")
txtBye.showtext("Bye")

txtHallo.Style = TextStyle.Bold


By using this code it makes them both bold, so i cant give them diffrent properties.
I look the help files and documentaion but no luck finden help on it, so i hope one of you experts can help.

I am more of a C# person but I think you don't declare DarkGDK.Text objects. I use...



But maybe I am doing it wrong? heh

Grayvyn, Thanks for Your reply.

No i know you can use it that way, but how can i give them properties.

So let say i have 2 messages i can do this.




But that is not what i want, what if i want to change the text "Hello" later in my game then i have to get rid of the old one and make new one, so thats what i need.

When i am enabled to do that, i can do effects with tekst let say change position in game and all kind of stuff.

The text settings affect all text, you can't change that behaviour. You would need to change the bold parameter before you write each text string.

The text functions are only very basic and not really intended to be used in a game. You should consider making bitmap fonts for better results. Or maybe Cloggy will convert his D3D Dll to .net
