How do I make it so that I can drag PANEL* some_pan. I can move it's pos_x and pos_y with mouse_force.x and mouse_force.y - but it doesn't work as expected. And since I can't seem to use events on panel I can't make sure how to execute it when clicked and dragged within the panel. I tried using a button to detect mouse click within the panel. But the panel isn't moving as intended like you would drag around a windows window. Ok I'll rephrase the question, how do I make it so that I can drag a panel in the latest version?

Then you have to start a while-loop assuming the mouseposition to the panel... Code: void dragPanel(PANEL clickedPan) { while(mouse_left == 1) { //dragging the panel while holding the mousebutton clickedPan.pos_x = mouse_pos.x clickedPan.pos_y = mouse_pos.y wait(1); } } PANEL some_pan = { pos_x = 0; pos_y = 0; bmap = XYZ; flags = SHOW; event = dragPanel; } Hope it helps Gor Na Kosh

Thanks I'll give it a try. edit ---- I tried and it works, but how would I make it so that the the mouse is in the clicked part of the panel? right now the panel moves exactly at mouse_pos. Practically like dragging a window, the window doesn't snap to mouse position in windows os etc. Anyway thank you very much for the help so far. Last edited by gfxExp; 10/19/09 08:34.

I thought it meant something else but it does mean "that" warez afterall. Is using trail version illegal now? Originally Posted By: Widi @GorNaKosh: don`t support Warez Kiddie !!!!!

So I uninstalled it and installed the latest version from the official website itself. Regardless, I'm using Lite C now. Honestly, why do I even need to explain myself? Just because a moderator wanted me to label me a warez kiddie even after knowing I was using a trail version? Is this how potential customers are driven away? If i cant learn this, nor get any proper help learning it.. then there is no way I would want to buy it. Maybe I should reconsider switching to C4 engine... it is much more value for the money as well. Not that I can't afford a7. Last edited by gfxExp; 10/19/09 19:05.
