Its not that Jaeger.
Its just that 3DGS (like any DirectX app) create the full-screen in a different
"video-space"(called a D3Ddevice) to windows itself, and the API's ONLY create
themselves on the windows D3Ddevice.
Ive played with your idea in the past, and all I could get was the API box coming
up in front OK, but the 3DGS display freezes, even though the game is still running,
or the game would get kicked back to windowed mode with the API box in front.
Neither of which was acceptable.

Esper :: Lite-C or windows.h?
//LITE-C
var fhandle = file_open_read("test");
if(fhandle) { file_close(fhandle); printf("file exists"); }
else { printf("file DOESNT exist"); }
//when you have included "windows.h"
if(GetFileAttributes("test.txt")+1) { printf("file exists"); }
else { printf("file DOESNT exist"); }
//also used like this when filename is in a 3DGS string
if(GetFileAttributes(filename_string.chars)+1) { printf("file exists"); }
else { printf("file DOESNT exist"); }
PM me if you need more than this... Croman :: Sorry for that minor highjack of your thread. As to your question about building your own dialog box, I cant help there sorry. I dont do much in the way of "visible" API work because its very anti-fullscreen. Plus what you want is a-lot of work. Visual API stuff is hideously complex/messy. I strongly advise you coding something in lite-c code instead.

uhm.. both are not wkring.. because i included windows.h:
if(menutyp == 0)
{
menupart_x = (screensize.x*0);
menupart_y = (screensize.y*0);
var filecounter = 1;
while(filecounter != 5)
{
if(filecounter == 1)
{
if(GetFileAttributes("chronicle_1.sav")+1)
{PANEL* button_1 = pan_create("pos_x=71;pos_y=131;flags=SHOW;
button(0, 0, icon_save13, icon_save11, icon_save12, call_file_1, NULL, NULL);",2);printf("1 existiert");}
else
{PANEL* button_1 = pan_create("pos_x=71;pos_y=131;flags=SHOW;
button(0, 0, button_leer, button_leer, button_leer, new_file_1, NULL, NULL);",2);}
}
if(filecounter == 2)
{
if(GetFileAttributes("\\Saves\chronicle_2.sav")+1)
{PANEL* button_2 = pan_create("pos_x=71;pos_y=131;flags=SHOW;
button(0, 0, icon_save23, icon_save21, icon_save22, call_file_2, NULL, NULL);",2);}
else
{PANEL* button_2 = pan_create("pos_x=71;pos_y=241;flags=SHOW;
button(0, 0, button_leer, button_leer, button_leer, new_file_2, NULL, NULL);",2);}
}
if(filecounter == 3)
{
if(GetFileAttributes("\\Saves\chronicle_3.sav")+1)
{PANEL* button_3 = pan_create("pos_x=71;pos_y=351;flags=SHOW;
button(0, 0, icon_save33, icon_save31, icon_save32, call_file_3, NULL, NULL);",2);}
else
{PANEL* button_3 = pan_create("pos_x=71;pos_y=351;flags=SHOW;
button(0, 0, button_leer, button_leer, button_leer, new_file_3, NULL, NULL);",2);}
}
if(filecounter == 4)
{
if(GetFileAttributes("\\Saves\chronicle_4.sav")+1)
{PANEL* button_4 = pan_create("pos_x=71;pos_y=461;flags=SHOW;
button(0, 0, icon_save43, icon_save41, icon_save42, call_file_4, NULL, NULL);",2);}
else
{PANEL* button_4 = pan_create("pos_x=71;pos_y=461;flags=SHOW;
button(0, 0, button_leer, button_leer, button_leer, new_file_4, NULL, NULL);",2);}
}
filecounter += 1;
}
}
i stored chronicle_1.sav and chronicle_2.sav, in the "Saves" Folder of my project.. But always the else condition is activated..

The format for the path and filename does NOT want to start with "\\".
These lines should all use the 'path' format as follows.
if(GetFileAttributes("Saves\\chronicle_2.sav")+1)
API-based functions assume you are starting from the project folder.
If you put a '\\' at the beginning of the file/path string, then it assumes
you want to look at the root directory of that drive letter.
ie If your project is at C:\projects\myproject, and the you use the test
GetFileAttributes("\\Saves\\chronicle_2.sav")+1),
then it will be checking for the file "C:\Saves\chronicle_2.sav"...
(When you use API functions anyway)
