I have got some Panels and wrote a little piece of code, which cycles through the panels: Code: var i; for(i=1; i <60; i++) { str_cpy(str_mouse_over, "pan_invplatz"); //Name of panels str_cat_num(str_mouse_over,"%.0f",i); //number of panels in the name pan_mouse_over = (PANEL*) str_mouse_over; //tried to say "dude, thats a panel-pointer" if(mouse_panel == pan_mouse_over) // and tried to compare it with the mouse-over-panel { str_cpy(str_debug,str_mouse_over); // .... } } } But I think i can't do this - it is not detected right. The Panels name is pan_invplatz1 and goes to pan_invplatz60. I hoped I could do this with the strings, because if this does not working, I have to wrote a if-comparing for every single panel (if(mouse_panel == pan_invplatz1){...}, if(mouse_panel == pan_invplatz2){...}, ...) An thats a lot :-) Not only this 60, there are some other places in the code, i would be forced to write the same code clusters. So, how can i convert a string in a panel-pointer? Thanks for reading, i'm excited for your hints :-) Last edited by JoGa; 10/05/11 15:51.

PANEL* pan_invplatz[60]; ... for(i = 0; i < 60; i++) pan_invplatz[i] = pan_create("",layer); Alternatively, you can use draw_quad with a BMAP array (and a var array to store inventory information).

I will change my inventory and take the panel-array, this will also reduce the cluster of code, i wrote. Thanks!! Last edited by JoGa; 10/05/11 15:51.
