button

Sense on-screen controls. Requires Winsound or TCL/TK.

Syntax

kres button knum

Performance

Note that this opcode is not available on Windows due to the implimentation of pipes on that system.

kres -- value of the button control. If the button has been pushed since the last k-period, then return 1, otherwise return 0.

knum -- the number of the button. If it does not exist, it is made on-screen at initialization.

Examples

Here is a simple example of the checkbox opcode. It uses the file checkbox.csd.
