gen4-28dt display: how to create a button using a user - defined height and width ?

[idexcorp-user]

I want to create and view a button using the serial environment width a user defined size.
Is there a possibility to create such a button ?

The function gfx_Button2() isn't included in the serial C - library.

Hello idexcorp-user,



Yes, that's possible, by using other functions such as gfx_Panel() and gfx_Rectangle(). These can be used to create a simple button with a user-defined size and superimposed text.


Unfortunately, gfx_Button2() is not included, but you can call gfx_Button() inside gfx_Button2().

The pseudocodes are shown below for your reference:


Approach 1:

void gfx_Button2(...) {
// Draw a button by using gfx_Button(...) function
}



Approach 2:

void gfx_Button2(...) {
// Draw a panel
// Put a text
}

For your reference, I have attached an Arduino sketch (if you have an Arduino board) that uses the Diablo_Serial_4DLib library.This demonstrates how to create and show a button and how to implement touch detection.


If you are using a different platform, it is helpful to check the Diablo16-Serial-C-Library here:



Hopefully, this will help you.

Best regards,
