LBGUI - A helper script - 12/21/10 02:20
Hey there,
Firstly, all credits to Lukas for his awesome LBGUI contribution.
I posted this here because I've been using this code in a lot of my tests
and things I've been doing lately, so I thought someone else might like it too
Anyway, A couple of weeks ago I made a little header (a wrapper-for-a-wrapper,
so to speak) from various bits of Lukas's demo code, and also some of my own.
I think the best way to describe it is with a script:
'What's this wierd '_d' at the end of Lukas's beautiful functions?!' you may ask.
Well, my good sir, those functions with '_d' at the end do not
need bitmap definitions, as they sImply use defaults, defined in the header,
and placed in a folder called 'gui' into the project folder.
Here are the prototypes:
Other than this, the functions perform and return things exactly the same as their LBGUI counterparts.
The function of 'init_gui()' is pretty obvious I think, and you can use either the WINDOWS_DEFAULT or BITMAP_DEFAULT
flags to determine the mouse behavior, WINDOWS being standard
arrows and things, BITMAP being a bitmap mouse respectively.
So, what the script does, in a very easy sense, is to just load a ton of defaults, so that if
you're doing a test, or simply need a placeholder GUI, 'lbgui_simple.h' should do the trick.
You can download it here. (I might change file-host later) done.
(This also includes a demo, and the 'real' LBGUI in the same package)
Also, all the bitmaps are defined at the top of 'lbgui_simple.h',
so they should be pretty easy to edit if you like.
Any questions? feel free to ask

Code:
#include <acknex.h>
#include "lbgui_simple.h" //this header automatically includes lbgui.h, so don't worry about that
LBG_WINDOW* a_window = NULL;
void button_ok()
{
LBG_destroy_window(a_window);
}
void create_window()
{
a_window = //We're making a window
LBG_create_window_d(NULL, 128, 128, 256, 256, 2, 2, "A Window", 1, NULL, WF_SHOW | WF_DISABLEGUI);
LBG_BUTTON* button_ok =
LBG_create_button_d(a_window, 100, 100, 20, 2, "OK?", button_ok, BF_SHOW);
}
void main()
{
init_gui(WINDOWS_DEFAULT); // Can also be 'BITMAP_DEFAULT'
wait(3); //Need to wait 'till the engine's ready..
LBG_BUTTON* a_button = //Create a button with the default bitmaps
LBG_create_button_d(NULL, 100, 100, 20, 2, "Create", create_window, BF_SHOW);
LBG_INFOBOX* infbox = //Then we can create an infobox for that button
LBG_create_infobox_d(a_button, 0.1, 10, 10, 5, 5, "This will (hopefully) create a window", IF_SHOW);
}
