How to Create Warning Icon in MSGBOX HP 49G+
in [HP48]
|
From: PremiumBlend on 18 Jul 2010 22:58 Hello, I'd like to create a message box with a warning icon along with the text string "Invalid Syntax" exactly like the one you see if you try to ENTER the # character by itself. In The HP 48 Handbook on page 200 there is a program that uses DoMsgBox but my limited knowledge of Sys-RPL programming tells me that XLIB 177 0 is not installed on my calculator. The TRYMBX program on page 200 is as follows: \<< "Calculation Complete" GROB 11 11 8F004010202010409840140104098 40272040108F00 MSGBX \>> What I'm interested in is how to create the warning icon. Page 34 of the book gives a great breakdown of graphics objects structure. It talks about preparing a GROB on a personal computer. Do I use Notepad to do that? How do I get that GROB transferred to my calculator? Also on page 34, the GROB structure is: <header><length><height><width><data...> Concerning the <data...>, what does the author mean by "integral number of bytes"? I think I'm going to get bogged down here with too many questions. The GROB on page 35 is way longer on the computer than it is on the calculator. I'm a visual learner so ideally I would need a good model to go by like what data nibbles go into a grid to represent each side or top of a desired GROB. Where is my Etch A Sketch? Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Mark
From: Jacob Wall on 18 Jul 2010 23:37 Hi Mark, you could use a SYSEVAL to call the System RPL "FlashWarning" command, for example: \<< "Invalid Syntax" # 46A55h SYSEVAL \>> Works on 49g+ or 50g, can't say it does or doesn't for other models. -- Jacob Wall On 18/07/2010 7:58 PM, PremiumBlend wrote: > Hello, > > I'd like to create a message box with a warning icon > along with the text string "Invalid Syntax" exactly like > the one you see if you try to ENTER the # character by > itself. > > In The HP 48 Handbook on page 200 there is a program > that uses DoMsgBox but my limited knowledge of > Sys-RPL programming tells me that XLIB 177 0 > is not installed on my calculator. > > The TRYMBX program on page 200 is as follows: > > \<< > "Calculation Complete" > GROB 11 11 8F004010202010409840140104098 > 40272040108F00 MSGBX > \>> > > What I'm interested in is how to create the warning > icon.
