I am interested in how portable code can be and this is a good example of 'very portable' To run it on a CMM2, I had to include the MOUSE and CURSOR initialisation and change the TOUCH(X|Y) to a function that reads the mouse Simple enough. The only other gotcha I have seen is GUI BITMAP Not available on the CMM2 so I simply put a tick character in the box. (Image has it as a cross) The other obvious thing is the alignment of the text boxes. I haven't chased that one down yet. Jim Ah! that is a nice variation - I hadn't even considered using it with a CMM because it has mouse and stuff but I guess it is just as relevant. Good work Jim. what was the tweak necessary to straighten things up? In my head, it shouldn't have been necessary as I was using fontwidth etc and positioning things relative to the screen co-ordinates of the gadget. I don't have a CMM2 (not my "thing") but I am pleased to see it works there - truly portable. I think some of the mechanisms for graphics handling could take this to the moon - you could fork it on the wiki if you wanted, there is a custom CMM2 namespace.
