RS Calculator aesthetics problem

Recommended Posts

I just had a breakthrough in making hte alculator, so I got some of the skills done... but then I got to smithing :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Right now I am using Message Boxes system to display how many of the item you have to make/bury/fish/etc.. now there is a LOT of stuff you can smith...

 

 

 

How would I make this so there are a reasonable amount of smithing items in each messagebox and without having too many extra options...

 

 

 

Also, how would I go about choosing between options in smithing, here is a picture of the calculator so far:

You probably want to use a grid / table control. I'm not sure what VB .NET has to offer for stuff like that, but I'm sure there's something table-like :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you have a control like that, you can loop the items and put each item into its own row. Popping up dialog warnings is bad UI (User Interface). You should try to avoid them, they scare users at first, and if you have too many of them, they will ignore their contents - which you don't want either.

Hmm, I was wanting to use something that I could run alongside Runescape and not overlap on a 1280x1024 screen resolution...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll look into the tables though
