Confused!

Hi, i am very confused about this, hope some one can clear this up for me.
I am making a simple game that depend on mouse click, so that is handled by the onButtonUp. The question is when i want to make an option of 1 or 2 players on the main menu, VC gives a simple function without any parameters.
How am i going to get the similar input as to onButtonUp ( which is the CPoint)

Thanks.

Firstly you should try to change the way that you allow different User selection. If your game has maximum of 2 Users then you should use a readonly Combobox as your control otherwise if there are more than 2 users you could use a spin control.
If you still need to use the Mouse then reply to me and i will guide you. Thanks

Hi Hatim,
the game is either human and human or human and computer.
so by clicking on the option (human and human or...), it obviously bring me to a function w/o parameters. These two options i guess is going to be a separate function as for human vs computer, only 1 mouse click is needed to happen (2nd mouse click is generated by the computer).
I don't know how clear is this, but i can't get my self explain better.
And i only plan to use the menu.

Thanks.

void CADialog::OnLButtonUp(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
or
void CAView::OnLButtonUp(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)




This appears to be the definition of the mouse up event, are you saying yours is


void CADialog::OnLButtonUp(void)
or
void CAView::OnLButtonUp(void)




If your prototype is the first option, then you can tell what they selected by the value of point.


CRect rectHumanPlayer(,,,,)
CRect rectComputerPlayer(,,,,)

if (rectHumanPlayer.PtIn(point))
{
} else
if (rectComputerPlayer.PtIn(point))
{
}




Is this any help?

Hi, maybe i can put it in this way. How do i find out which option is selected from the menu (which one is being clicked).

Thanks.

Sorry, I guess I was the one who was confused.

When u select an option from a menu, windows will post a message to you of the form,

PostMessage(WM_COMMAND, ID_OPTION_CHOSEN)

Where ID_OPTION_CHOSEN is the option that the user selected.

Basically using the ON_COMMAND handler with a line like,

ON_COMMAND(ID_OPTION_CHOSEN, OnOptionChosen)

in the message map,
and create a function like

void CMyFrame::OnOptionChosen()
{
// The option was chosen!!!
}

You would have one command handler per option on the menu!

Does this help?
