I am now trying to build a GUI look-a-like software using DJGPP and Allegro 3.12 for monitoring the status of a DC Motor... the problem is that I am not very sure how to create small boxes with number which change in accordance to the values in some other variables... I was hoping that someone more experience might be able to help me out.... so far I managed to get the pull down menus and fixed text to appear at locations but how do you create text which changes as the varible (text string or numbers) with a box around it? thanks!
