Need some newbie help please

This is the version for the storage memory.
Keep in mind that if Bfile_CreateFile fails, most probably the customer has to perform an optimization. I'll post the main memory version later. But as I do not like the SDK's main memory functions at all, we'll have to extend your syscall library.

If I have a double, 123.456 for example.
How do I seperate the 123 from the .456?
I tried floor, but that didnt work.
I couldnt find a round function.
I also tried sprintf( (char*)printline1, "%i", wcb ) & sprintf( (char*)printline1, "%0.3f", wcb );

[SimonLothar]

Refer to "SHC Manual.PDF", page 318. And #include <math.h>.

tried that, but it just returns 0

I have created my own bitmaps to use a menu system within a result screen, and copied the code to the bitmaps.hpp file.

I have then inlcuded this before the while loop

Code: Select all

DISPGRAPH dg;
dg.x = 50;
      dg.y = 01;
      dg.GraphData.width = 48;
       dg.GraphData.height = 41;
      dg.GraphData.pBitmap = (unsigned char*)01MENU01;
      dg.WriteModify = IMB_WRITEMODIFY_NORMAL;
      Bdisp_WriteGraph_VRAM( &dg );


But get this error

C:\Users\d\Desktop\Projects\Inputs\Bitmaps.hpp(245) : C5040 (E) Expected an identifier

I think its telling me, that the item is undefined, but I thought that by listing it in bitmaps.hpp will define it? Or is it something else?

[SimonLothar]

dg.GraphData.pBitmap = (unsigned char*)01MENU01;

01MENU01 is not allowed as variable name. It mustn't start with a digit.

[SimonLothar]

Refer to "SHC Manual.PDF", page 318. And #include <math.h>.

tried that, but it just returns 0

This works for me and gives "123.000000":

Code: Select all

#include "math.h"
.
.
.
unsigned char out_buffer[20];
unsigned int key;
double d;
   d = floor( 123.456 );
   locate( 1, 4 );
   sprintf( (char*)out_buffer, "%f", d );   // should be 123.000...
   PrintLine( out_buffer, 21 );
   GetKey( &key );

Simon, making great progress thanks to you
I have some nice looking bitmap menus with selectable options and goto commands to activate the function.

I want to know how I start to incorperate the memory example like above. I have added it to memory.cpp, which might be wrong? How do I then call the function?

Thanks

[SimonLothar]

I have added it to memory.cpp, which might be wrong? How do I then call the function?

No this is not wrong. But the snippet I dropped was only rudimental. We need proper data handling functions for your data model. And I am still on the main memory access module, which is nearly ready.
Although it may take a bit more time, I think the data model and the necessary functions should be combined in some object oriented module. I am preparing the thing.
