Hi,

I'm playing with the Multi-column text menu at

http://brisray.com/qbasic/qmenu.htm

, in 4.5

I changed a few things, and experimented with colors, but I don't understand them well enough.  How would we change the menus and background to the following:

background blue
menu items = white
selected menu item is blue, but with a white background, only on the selected item.

The goal is to make it into a scrolling horizontal menu with a message bar, and to convert the DATA statements to an array.  But right now I just want to play with the colors and the widths of the menu items.

Code: QB64: [Select]

Color Foreground or Text Ink, Background or Paper Color

White on Blue is
Color 15, 9 for QB colors


Update better go 1 for blue 7 for white since cant do high white in background in default 0 screen.

Color 1,7 for blue print on low white paper and
color 7, 1 for white on blue background.

Screen 12 might get full range of background color. Yeah, Screen 12 is good 15 for white and 1 for blue, nice contrast (and way more room for menu items!).

Screen _NewImage(pixWidth, pixHeight, 32) ' give a really nice _RGB32(red, green, blue) color range

Thanks, bplus.  Unfortunately, the examples don't compile in 4.5.

The first one returns an Illegal Function call, at the COLOR statement.  That's probably deceptive, and the error is occurring somewhere else.

The second returns an Expected: Expression error, at the Screen statement.

Looks like the first attachment didn't make it.  This is the illegal function call error.

OK @QB64Curious I thought you were curious about QB64, so I show you QB64. (Where'd I get that idea??? LOL)

I am surprised
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. Color fore, back
doesn't work in QB<64??? but it's been years since I've coded in it.

Your first screen shot shows crap code ie Const declare mixed into a Screen command but no way that code would work in old QB, and 2nd doesn't show me enough code to see possible cause of error.

Does QB4.5 have screen 12? I don't remember.

From a search on the web, it looks like 4.5 had 13 screens.


Yep, my plan for now is to work only with 4.5 compatible qb64 code.  The idea is to be able to code on the pc using qb64 during the day.  And when the mood strikes in the evening on the recliner or recumbent bike, code 4.5 on the android tablet.

Ok, I'll play with the code a bit, and post here when it's running ok.

Surely 7 for low white and 1 for blue should work even in that old dinosaur QB4.5 LOL!

Those don't change color when you swap colors in screen 0, default when no screen is declared.
