sorry bud, but it's not wrong, and even if thats what the manual says, it works flawlessly the way I have my code. And not only that, but it works for 36 different button counters, at the same time, so.... heh.
option a:

PANEL* some_panel =
{
.....
....
flags = VISIBLE;
}

option b:
PANEL* dummy_panel;

dummy_panel = pan_create ("content.....; flags |= VISIBLE;", layer);

Thanks for all the answers..!

To MrCode:
The file format PNG is supported by the engine.
(see manual: File formats -> "Supported image formats are PCX, BMP, TGA, DDS, PNG, JPG, and WAD")

I also tried with BMAP....did not work, too.

To Ottawa:
I tried that. Did not work, too.

To hack-panther:
Well I probably have to use a dummy panel for each function I want to call, too.

To Spirit:
I have now tried with a background image and a certain size....it does not work......

------------------------------------

Oldschoolj, you say your panels are working..can you post an example panel?

Dennis: You can use pan_created panels and click on their buttons. A background image or a second panel is not required. So your problem likely has a different reason. Using buttons is described in the lite-C Workshops; I suggest that you use the panel from the workshops in order to find out if it's something with your images or maybe something else in your script. If you can't find out what's wrong, you can contact the support and send them your project.

Oldschooli: Don't be sloppy with your code. Wrong syntax can cause trouble with any future update, even if it does not throw error messages in the current version. I also see no reason why you should intentionally use wrong syntax. So better go and fix your 36 buttons by replacing |= with =.

i actually had no diea that was the wrong way to do it, because ive never recieved an error from doign it that way..... but thanks for pointing it out. And to the guy that I said it wasnt the wrong way of doing it sorry man, I'm not that knowledgable of a coder. I just saw that he had flags = instead of flags |=, and mine worked so i figured he had his wrong LOL

hi,

Someone found the solution for this Problem?

thx

Well I haven't found a good solution yet.

But you can:
1.) use a dummy panel (see previous posts)
2.) or use "pan_setevent(...);"..I think that works, too.

ok.

thx. but the 1. solution did not waork.
I tried pan_setevent(PANEL*,var type,var num,void* event) but I set the parameter "event" with one STRING from one XML file (I created one dll for this) the game close because the parameter EVENT don´t recognize STRING.
Do you why it happens?

you have to convert the string...i will try to post a solution for this in 25 minutes....

ok.

Thx.
How I could convert STRING to EVENT?

I will wait your post.

thx

I asked the same question some time ago...
