Graphic interface in Batch ? Is it possible ?

[bufoss]

Hi all,
I am new in batch scripting and I would like to ask you
if there is any way to get graphical interface such as

I would like something like the attached image and only the menu to be refreshed.

Thanks in advance for your answers

Well, that's just ASCII art, so yes. Multiple colors in the same line was cracked years ago.

More specifically this is art ansi, until windows 98 support art ansi was loaded in the config.sys file, writing the following line:

devicehigh=ansi.sys

For windows 2000 onwards there is currently ansicon.exe

When installed ansicon you can read an ansi file with the following command:

Type art.ans


I recently posted a method to convert art ansi into batch

It is necessary for art to contain characters compatible batch.

To create files in .ans format you have this application:

This is probably not at all what you had in mind, but it is what came into my mind when I heard "Graphic Interface in Batch"

Below is 3dGUI.bat. It was primarily meant to be mouse-controlled (drag left-right to scroll among items, click to select an item), but keys are also supported (left/right to scroll, SPACE to select the item in focus). If you get tired of the "swinging" effect of the items while scrolling, press RETURN to disable/enable.

The script is now included in the cmdgfx archive. See http://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7153

Screens (it obviously looks better when actually moving):


3dgui.bat


3dgui.bat 3dgui2.dat

The script takes as input a data file of the form:

Code: Select all

backgroundimage ; scale
image ; scale ; text ; action
*n

Example file with 3 items:
img\dos_shade4.pcx ; 45
emma.txt ; 9      ;Emma;      echo Emma
fract.txt ; 9     ;Fractal;   echo Fractal
glass.txt ; 9     ;Glass;     echo Glass
