Buttons and Boxes - James D Jarvis - 12-01-2022
A simple control and display scheme for text mode. Currently only supports one active dialog at a time.
Has a number of built-in styles.
Use the mouse or the up and down arrow keys to make a selection.

'Buttons_N_Boxes
'by James D. Jarvis, December 2022
'this demo shows a couple subroutines for simple text boxes and selection boxes in text mode
'if you can read this code and have QB64 you are of course perfectly welcome to use it as you wish.
'
'currently supports just one active button dialog ( Button box) at a time.
