Hi everyone.
I'm trying to create a CD menu that looks like DOS and is keyboard-driven. It will only emulate the appearance of DOS screens and not actually work in DOS.
What I want to do, specifically, is create menu screens that look and work similarly to the FDISK screens, or the initial screen you see when you insert a bootable Windows 98 or ME floppy.
I want the user to navigate through the menu pages with keystrokes, as well as launch files on the CD via keystrokes.
I'm not 100% sure if this can be done with version 5.0. From reading the documentation, I can create an input object and use the On Key action to perform functions.
There are two problems with this:
1. I haven't figured out how to set a specific key. For example, if I want someone to press 2 to jump to Page Two, I don't know how.
2. I would prefer to use text boxes rather than input boxes.
What is the absolute easiest way to create a keyboard-driven menu as I've described it? Imagine yourself trying to recreate the FDISK screens...that's what I'm doing.
Also, is this possible to do with version 4, rather than version 5?
Thank you! Jack Danniel
