I reached the max amount of controls on frmMirage...
Re: ... - Harry - 20-07-2007
You have 255 controls? 0_O
Re: ... - Dragoons Master - 20-07-2007
I reached that a long time ago, just make objects arrays, like, don't use optGround, optMask, optAnim, optFringe, etc. Use optLayer(0), optLayer(1), optLayer(2), optLayer(3), optLayer(etc). And repeat the process... It takes a while xD

That's pretty smart. Of course, you remove quite a bit of controls if you move the map editor.

I dont have the map editor on frmMirage. Gotta remove many controls though, so making them into arrays just counts as 1. Nice

Simple:
Draw everything on screen through DirectX =P

I know I'm suppose to be supportive of you William, but having 200+ controls on one form is ridiculas. I know i saw a lot of controls on the form when i looked at it but i didn't know it was 200+.

Ew. I don't even have 50 >

lol, cant stand messy projects & code. I sometimes take a whole minute just to come up with the best name for a variable. :?
Re: ... - William - 21-07-2007
My frmMirage is covered with labels, lets count some on it. I got:
Spell Description: 28
Item Description: 16
Trade Menu: 26
Never mind, lets just look at this..

There are just so many things that I need on frmMirage. Guess I could put a few menus in other forms, but does it really matter.

If I really don't care I just use single letters =P
