Rotated TextBox FS Original



Hello,
 
trying to convert my desktop original table to fullscreen I realized, that TextBoxes cannot be rotated. The only original tables in FS I know are Spiderman and Pirates by JPSalas. The approach used there, developed by Wizards_Hat, was too complex for me to apply as I was in need of a larger display (and multiple displays too). So I used EMReels to show the rotated characters and added some text functions. If You want to see the code on a real table, You can have a look on my FS Rugby table.
 
So, if You look for a quick solution with only basic features, this is for You. For more complex functions and a beautiful result, have a look at the Alphanumeric Display Tutorial by Wizards_Hat.
 
To implement the displays into Your table, the following things have to be done:
You have to create a procedure for every display You want to handle. The main thing to decide is, how many characters the display should show at max and if it is aligned left, right or mixed (depending on the data shown). Just copy the reel picture "Reel_FS" to Your table and arrange the necessary EMReels at Your Backdrop.
Within the code, You exchange all
 
TextBox.Text = "xxx"
with
TextBoxProcedure("xxx")
 
and You are ready for a FS conversion of Your original table.
 
The characters shown are 0-9, A-Z (lowercase characters are converted to uppercase), "<",".","-","!"," " (blank). Unknown charackters are shown as blank.
 
Feel free to use the image and the code.
 
dB2S Procedure:
This is the code to send characters to the digits of a LED display on the dB2S backglass. The characters cannot be sent directly but have to be converted to integer values representing the binary code to light/unlight the necessary LED segments. Using my conversion function saves You the math...
 
Regards
Michael
