Input Panel

[Erel]

This is an example of using a panel to create a pseudo input box.
You can easily customize it to fit your needs.

Cool?

I don't see the point of a runaway panel, unless it was meant as a joke...In that case, it works, it got me LOL!!!!

I've tried on the device and it works but not quite on desktop, but the application is for device though.
...I just thought the idea when application's trial version period was over...You can label the panel "Trial version, continue?"...if they can't catch the "yes" button, they urge to buy it (but should be a good one)...

Hi Filippo,

since you can move your panel completly out of the form (on the device and desktop) with no change of getting it back, you should implement some borders like:

Sub MovePanel(Panel,x,y)
	Control(Panel).left=Min(Max(-Control(Panel).Width + 10,Control(Panel).left+(x-pX)),230)
	Control(Panel).top=Min(Max(-10,Control(Panel).top+(y-pY)),260)
End Sub

Now always a part of the top is accessible.

Gentlemen,
Similarly to a message box, an input box makes sense only when program execution is stopped until an input was provided.
What do you think?

I agree, An input box IS used when some aditional information is needed by the app, so app should stop when inputbox is shown...But this would require a DLL wouldn't it?
