Ok this is kinda simple question.....
I would like a user to give me input for several custom messages to be sent from them to other users during game play. Such as the feature in Starsiege Tribes (close)
Whats the best way to gather custom text from a user and store it and be able to send it out when a user hits a hotkey?
The "Best" Way is debatable, the EasiestWay is Something like
Code:strMessage = InputBox("Type Message Here")
this will put up an inputBox prompting for some text and store it into the string strMessage
If the Person restarts the app will this save and be there in the input box?
no, It won't at all. you have to use the Registry for that, If you look at the blue bar to the right of this page under the heading Topic Areas there is a link called "registry", there are some good tutorials there.
Did I say right, I meant left
