Here's an example of mine on how to make graphical touchscreen menus:

Thanks, but i was thinking on editing the menu on the bottom, is it possible to add pixel drawing instead of strings to that?

if it isnt i will use your menu

Thanks

You can; first you have to clear the current screen (e.g. use the RECT_P command). Then you can draw your image using PIXON_P. If your images are simple, then you can probably save a lot of space using PIXON_P and LINE_P. On the other hand, complicated images are probably best via the ICON command.

The main thing to get from my example is how to trap the touchscreen events since the icons themselves aren't really all that important (nor their location).
