SRL Archive - MSI Archives

I just want to know who made the MSI Form. It looks great and I would like to talk to them over MSN on making my own. There are know good tutorials to making one. Also I suggest that whoever made it should make a tutorial. That is if they have time, anyway I just want to talk to them about helping me make a form for my script. This is the thing I have yet to dabble into in scripting.

the MSI form was made by multiple people, just like MSI

also i have made a form, have a look at my Vine Vanquisher for a example, you can easily add pictures and other stuff if you want

~shut

These two tutorials are what got me started with Forms. If you're looking for the image buttons like the MSI form, take a look at the form in this script. MSI's form was originally based off that form.

Hope that helps. :) Feel free to PM me if you need help.

I couldn't find that whole long thread with you, ReadySteadyGo, and Dan Cardin talking about the form. Is it still anywhere? I thought it was a fantastic way to show the progress/why things are how they are. :3

yesssss. :3

@OP, that may be a good thread to read through if you're confused about some stuff. Sorta long, but you can usually know what isn't important, probably.

Ah, I remember helping ReadySteady with that. Where did he go…

Thanks guys, been trying to create forms and I had it almost down but the switch to simba confused me a little.

Want to add form to a script that I am going to apply to members yet. Still have yet to apply lol. Guess I should get on that huh.

Edit: I don't have the form editor? And I get CreateForm as and Unknown Identifier.

creating the initial form is slightly different with Simba.

Form template:

program FormTemplate;

var
  MainForm: TForm;

procedure Form_Init;
begin
  MainForm := TForm.Create(nil);
  with MainForm do
  begin
    Width := 700;
    Height := 400;
    Caption := 'Main Form';
    Position := poScreenCenter;
  end;
end;

procedure Form_SafeInit;
var
  v: TVariantArray;
begin
  SetArrayLength(v, 0);
  ThreadSafeCall('Form_Init', v);
end;

procedure Form_ShowModal;
begin
  MainForm.ShowModal;
end;

procedure Form_SafeShowModal;
var
  v: TVariantArray;
begin
  SetArrayLength(v, 0);
  ThreadSafeCall('Form_ShowModal', v);
end;

var
  i: Integer;
begin
  ClearDebug();

  try
    Form_SafeInit;
    Form_SafeShowModal;
  except
    Writeln(ExceptionToString(ExceptionType, ExceptionParam));
  finally
    MainForm.Free;
  end;
end.

The easiest way to make a form is to use scar's form editor and then use a dtm parser and copy into simba.
