Picture inside quest window.....again

francisstokes
I made a post about this a while ago but since trying to learn VB, i know the way i suggested wouldn't happen, so i thought would you be able to do something like this?



I know thats really bad but i did it in paint in 2 seconds so don't laugh.

Alex
This is on my "to do" list as a planned feature for the next version.

francisstokes
Oh ok.
And sorry for double posting, i didnt relise.

i think it would look better at the top or a small-ish one before the room name. i'd add a pic but i don't know how......

francisstokes
Due to the limits of VB, that can't be done.
Its like trying to paste a picture into notepad.

Elexxorine
maybe a seperate little box could be made for them?

francisstokes
That was my suggestion.It probably doesnt matter where the box goes.

Elexxorine
yeah, but i'm just saying, it'll lokk better at the top

francisstokes
I don't think it will make that much difference.Its really up to Alex.

Elexxorine
or maybe the creator should decide on where it goes.

It isn't like trying to paste a picture into notepad..

Actually it IS quite easy to do - all Alex has to do is save what's in Window's clipboard, copy the picture, paste it into the rich text box, and then put the original stuff back into the clipboard - I did it that way once or twice, much easier than turning the picture into a bit-pattern and loading it into the richtext box that way (which is the only other way AFAIK).

- But he's moving to HTML IIRC and that might be much easier - allowing for moving text, more text effects and even pictures in frames - allowing a good deal of control over presentation.

by the way tron: what's your cat called?

paul_one
One's Daisy and the other Willow... Daisy's gonna die in the next couple of years - I keep saying that but she seems to keep going on and on like an energizer battery... Kind of spooky.
She must be about 10 or 11 by now, maybe more.

Elexxorine
nah, on our street there's this cat that was 18 three years ago and still going, don't see him much but he's there. which is the white one?

steve the gaming guy
sweet idea...
It would also be good to have the choice to either have a picture appear within the Quest window or outside of it.

francisstokes
Oh i didnt relise it was a rich textbox.....even though the text was different colours..... :oops:
