helloCan someeone explain how to make a good menu ?

#1 What exactly do you mean by effects? If you mean make the letters glow or something then take a look at the guibitmapbuttonctrl under code snipits. It allows you to specify an image file for normal look and when you highlight it, it displays another image that you specify.

#2 yes,Tim is a pretty good tutorial maker i learne to do this very thing from his tuts.heres a sshot of what i am doing:

do this tut first to implment the bitmaps (the cool jpg button code)

#3 I mn to have a menu lik in commercial games.
With animation effect on the button, for example, fire or other.
Because I jut manage to put horrible grey button with text
And I wand a butiful menu.

Excuse Me, I have problems to xplain well in englih whaat i mean

#4 i dont think anyones got animation for a single bitmap working yet

#5 oki THX

For expl i click on a button a then i have an animation on an objct in the menu ?

#6 MERCI
Thank you
I will wait
Bye

#7 Re geric ;)

If you need it I have a custom bitmap class which allow a tri-state bitmap button (press, release, over) ? It can be use to make effect like when the user pass on the button, change it, ...

I will test soon some avi button too.

#8 now that would make for an execlent tut/resource!

#9 I didn't want to put a tut for the tri-state bitmap button as there was already one for a tri-state button (someone was faster than me to write the tut ;) ).

For the avi button, I will first test it and then if I succeed and nothing are already post I may post some tut.

#10 COool !!!
Great job
Don't forgete to give some expls
Because i'm french, and sometimes,tuts are very haard to underestand
