Hi guys
So I want to impliment a new idea into my products where you go down the menu and one of the items is help. You click that and it opens readme.txt

Now in bgt I have seen that if you use an alert function it shows it, but you cant navigtate threw it to read it slowly or bit by bit or what ever.
So is it possible in bgt and if so, how do you do it?
Thanks!

You can either use the run function, and open it in notepad, or, you can try and implement your own navigation.

ya, I tried the run function, but it doesnt seem to work, maybe I'm doing it wrong, i'm saying open it like this:

void main()
{
bool result=run("readme.txt", "", true, false);
}

Hi,
I believe it would be something like:

void main()
{
run("notepad.exe", "readme.txt", false, false);
}

Or whatever. Oh yeah, does someone know how you could run a file and it would open it with whatever default you had set for that file? Like with what I just did above I think that would only open it in notepad, however, there are other text editors out there like notepad++ that people might have set as their default.
