Init-Dialog

Hello,
I’m currently working on a demo using SDL and OpenGL. I first used MFC with
VC++, but I’d like to make the demos for linux and os x too, so I thought I give
SDL a try :slight_smile:
Until now everything works fine, except the MFC initdialog. In this dialog the
user can choose the resolution, the bpp and if he wants fullscreen. Then he
klicks ok, and the demo starts.
Is there any way to do this with SDL?

Thanks and with kindly regards

Sven Osterwalder

Yes there is. But this requires that you write (or use) a GUI for your
program/game. I don’t know what GUI libraries are out there that are
any good. Certainly I haven’t seen anything personally that is like MFC.

You may like to look at “WxWidgets”: http://www.wxwindows.org/
Or, the Fox GUI toolkit: http://www.fox-toolkit.org/fox.html

And/Or, You could create a separate application that spawns your SDL app
with command line parameters depending on the resolution required etc.

HTH,

Nope - last news entry was on October 9th 2004 and the site is still online,
but it’s incredibly slow. Took Firefox a good 3 minutes to grab all the
images and HTML :-/
