You can see I am currently using F12 to exit both loops.
This is what I am trying to do: I want to exit the first loop when any number, period, or any other vaild F## key is pressed. Given an F## key, I can use selectcase to call various subroutines to do the commands, that seems straight forward. The next part I am not sure how to process is if it is a number or a decimal point, I want to capture and print it to screen, similar to an input statement. Any thoughts....
I know the beginning of my first loop will need to be recoded to work properly. I am just realizing as I am chugging along that the input is quickly gonna become a problem I believe.
Quick Edit: What I am trying to avoid is a double enter for input: enter -> input -> enter -> accepted and save. What I am trying to do is vaild input-> enter -> accepted and save.
This program might be confusing but it illustrates what could be done:
Code: (Select All)
dim as integer i, maxi
dim kount as long, breakoff as _byte
dim keystocheck(1 to 20) as long
for i = 1 to 20
read keystocheck(i)
if keystocheck(i) = 34304 then maxi = i: exit for
next
print "Press number keys, or period, or F12. Otherwise you can't quit!"
do
_limit 10
print kount
kount = kount + 1
for i = 1 to maxi
if _keydown(keystocheck(i)) then breakoff = 1 : exit for
next
loop until breakoff
print "OUCH!"
end
WARNING: Don't set the _LIMIT higher than 10 because it might not do any checking of keys! Or that's what it appears. I tested this on EndeavourOS MATE (based on Arch Linux).
Almost forgot to add. If by any chance you want to involve the [SHIFT] key then even more codes will have to be employed such as 34 for dollar sign and 62 for greater-than sign (in an U.S. keyboard). The same with [CTRL], [ALT], the Windows key and any other key that exists that could be used with a different key. Some people might have keyboards which replicates a typewriter in which period always typed period regardless of SHIFT state. That's why I mentioned the > which ASCII code is 62, while that for period/decimal-point is 46.

I had a similar thought, this happens to be the easier part before processing in the outer loop. I will have to get creative converting a number for keydown as input (and using print to actually show the user with the ability to backspace?) I will have to play with it but so far so good!

Ok, this is really rough but it does work.
Back in 2012 I wrote a Graphics Line Input library and was wondering if I could make it work for your situation, and it does. Please excuse the crudeness of the code but I bit-banged it together over a 4 hour period.
- You can move the cursor around the cells using the arrow keys.
- F12 saves the cells and exits the program
To modify a cell: (This acts very much like an Excel spreadsheet)
- Just start typing numbers (or a period) wherever the cursor is.
- While entering a value the normal modifier keys work as expected (right/left arrow, back space, INSERT, DELETE, etc..)
- When finished entering a value either press ENTER or the UP or DOWN ARROW keys
- To change a value simply move the cursor over a value and start typing
Again, the code is rough and very little error checking is done. I didn't write any UP/DOWN or side scrolling in to the fields. The cursor simply stops when the top/bottom/right/left is reached. Just a quick demo of what's possible.
You are more than welcome to either use the library as is or tear out pieces of the code you want to add to your project. This little demo should help you with some ideas on how to enter data into your cells.
Included in the ZIP file attached is the library files, library documentation, font files I used, some library demo code, and the code shown in the code box below (Gradebook_Example.BAS).

Awesome! I will take a look at this today. I have add mouse capability since I asked. I am assuming that the mouse won't conflict here but I will see. I will take a read through the code and post any questions I may have along the way! This is way more than I expected I will let you know how it goes
The plan is to click and relase for moving the cursor but I want to make sure all my highlights worked before I do that. Here is the current loop as of now.

This is exactly what I need. I love it! And I always like your documentation files, already printed and sitting next to my machine, studying up on everything. I also updated your file to work with EXPLICIT and NOPREFIX. Not much needed changing but just in case you want to add it to your library....
Thanks again for sharing! I might have to go back through and update some other parts of my code with this awesome library!

You are most welcome. Thank you for sharing the changes you made to the code. I need to revisit it as well since I wrote it so long ago. I've gotten much better at coding with QB64 since then.

Hi Terry! I have been using your library for a few days and if you do revisit it, I do have a few thoughts. It would be awesome to add some kind of text wrapping to it. That would make it great for larger input, perhaps add an X-Y for the area like a LINE ,,B style (like for a comment box!) Also, it seems to race the CPU. I added three _LIMIT 60 commands, one in each DO LOOP I saw and that seems to really settle it down. Finally, hopefully an easy question, assuming you can remember the good old days when you coded it. How can I customize the allowed input for a flag. I want to make some a little bit more restrictive...
And here is a preview of what I am building right now, the add assignment screen. Hoping to show a working prototype soon.
Here is the code (still working on it, still want to do a lot on this screen alone...) I know it isn't polished yet but I couldn't make it happen without this gem of a library so thanks again! Don't forget the include files in a subdirectory of ./include

Yes, I agree, there are issues in the library that need resolved. I'm just about finished with the project I'm working on now. After that I'll revisit this library and fix it up. Good suggestions too that I'll implement.
