Hi, how can the position(just x & y) of a button be changed without this big-sized function? My code becomes very confusing when i use it

u dont need to use this funtion again once the button is created.

U can just modify the x and y values of the button directly instead of using this funtion with all these parameters (assuming the button is created).

Ok but how?
Can you just correct me this please?

sorry.. my mistake. i read the post wrongly. for button, u will need to use the pan_setbutton() function.

we cant access the button directly as the manual doesnt mention what datatype the button() function returns. else could hv assigned a handle to tat and use tat.

maybe there is some way.. anyone ?

To change the position of a button you can also use pan_setpos() which has less arguments.

pan_setpos() woud be possible if only the button is in the panel but i have more there so i need to change only the button so pan_setpos() is no way.
My idea again:
building_menue.button1.pos_x += 20;
this is wrong syntax but is there a correct way like this?

You should take a closer look at the pan_setpos function again.
As this is exactly what you need (as Kombucha already pointed out)

0oh sorry I should read the manual befor thinking pan_setpos(); changes the pos of the hole panel
sorry for that and thanks

This doesn't work.


As suggested above, pan_setpos() is better, as it has less arguments and will make ur confusions less.
