Help needed

[Hydrate]

I have just started with purebasic, and i just thought i had the media player example cracked, when i tried to add clickable buttons to it for more user interactment.(buttongadgets). But i just cant seem to get this to work, could someone post a basic example of :

Code: Select all

If the left button is pressed on this gadget, show this text

Just so i have something to work with.

Thank you.

Which media player example are you tinkering with?

Check that the program is opening a window (as opposed to a screen) before you attempt to place a button etc. I don't know much about sprites and screens and such like, but I don't think you can mix standard Windows controls with them.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong here!

Welcome to Purebasic btw.

Thanks, and exactly what im trying to do is get it so that if the button(gadget) is pressed then the game does something, like play the loaded movie file or put some text on the screen or create a new window, just something simple like that. I am using the media example that basicly lets you open the file on startup, and then just plays the file with no control over anything, i want to change it to have a button or two, so an example of one would really help, it doesnt necessarily have to be for a media player, just and example with a window, one button in it that uses the messagerequester to say "you clicked this". That would help me very much, thank you.
