Hey everyone.

While working on the api im making for the people wanting to make online games, I was thinking about making the drop-down lists and input boxes needed for creating the options for the matches.

But considering that its taking me more time because of lack of focus and other things going on, Does anyone have a basic input box and drop down list box example?

I have some that are a little complicated for what im doing, but im NOT looking for:

DLLs

strict use of the design without major editing

If noone has any examples, maybe somebody could code one up for me while im working on the other stuff?

thanks! :D

I'll have you know that the reason I haven't made a whole lot of progress on my game is because I'm eagerly waiting for you to finish your API, heheh.

And especially for the first version, you don't need to have something fancy like a drop-down list. I'd actually recommend to keep it simple, similar to arrows or radio buttons.

This is the interface I'm using right now. It's rough, sure, but it's also very easy to modify and expand if and when that time comes:

You've got the chatbox, the playerlist, and various game options. It's essentially the lobby, and the client sees the same thing, minus arrows, and they can't interact with anything but the chatbox.

If something like this is going to put off progress, just skip it for now and get back to it later. Needless to say, I don't know of a lot of examples that fit your description. And as far as input goes, what're you looking for? I can probably get something put together if you have a good idea of what you want to do.

Yea I tested all the communications with the server with all the encryptions and hashes and they all worked!

The drop down list was for having multiple profiles using the same computer. Plus i could use it for other things.

But I think ill do what you have there and just put arrows on both sides of the box for now. Thanks for the diagram ill probably make it just like that ;)
