i
think you're looking for some type of
get cursor functionality (vs
set cursor) of which dbpro has none that i am aware of.
if you're using
text then placing an image inline and
in front of text wouldn't be too difficult with a little experimentation:
box 0,0,16,16, rgb(255,255,0), rgb(255,255,0), rgb(255,128,0), rgb(255,128,0)
get image 1, 0,0,16,16,1
dim words$(3)
words$(1) = "text line one"
words$(2) = "line two"
words$(3) = "& three..."
do
cls
text 0,0,str$(screen fps())
for z = 1 to 3
paste image 1, ((z*32)-image width(1)), (z*32)-2,1
text (z*32),(z*32),words$(z)
next z
loop
but placing an image
after the
text would be difficult as the determining where the text ends isn't easily available.
if you went to an image-based text system (ie,
bitmap fonts), then i can see it working well (and not too terribly difficult) by, generally, adding the widths of each letter's image to an x "start" position and paste the final image behind them.
<shrugs> hope that helps
add: ok, i re-
re-read your last post and i think you've worked out your issue making my post generally worthless as a response
oh, well.
