Menus - How to do selections with diffrent outcomes

[WireLord55]

Hi all,

Iv'e been creating menus in GFA and i've found that i cannot click menu items once without the same result occurring. I cannot find a way to fix this.

Why doesn't this work (for having different menu items)?

Code: Select all

ON entry$="Quit" GOSUB eval01
ON entry$="About" GOSUB eval02
'
REPEAT
    ON MENU
LOOP UNTIL MOUSEK AND 2
'
PROCEDURE eval01
    OPEN #1,0,0,200,200,0
    DO
        PRINT "Menu stuff"
        KEYGET n
    LOOP UNTIL n=3735584
CLOSE #1
RETURN
'
PROCEDURE eval02
    OPEN #1,0,0,300,300,0
    DO
        PRINT "Menu stuff is great"
        KEYGET n
    LOOP UNTIL n=3735584
CLOSE #1
RETURN


On a side note and .TXT to .GFA converters out there and vice versa?

Thanks,

a) You cannot assign values in the ON ... GOSUB statement, only evaluate variables.
b) ON ... GOSUB only works with numerical variables, not strings.
c) I wonder if your REPEAT statement is valid, the canonical form is REPEAT ... UNTIL without the LOOP, LOOP is only used with DO ... LOOP statements.
d) GFABASIC itself already imports and exports .LST files. These are plain text. Use MERGE to load one and SAVE,A to create one.

I love you. (in a joking way)
