How to dynamically create text, draw and keys

Create a library with the background image
Add font file to Library

Create a style for page with the image as background
Create a style for text
Create a style for draws

Create an X posn variable
Create a num variable
Create a Text Entity Name Variable
Create a Text Entity Value Variable
Create a Draw Entity Name Variable
Create a Key Entity Name Variable
Create a Key Entity Value Variable

Create CreateFunc function

Create a loop to run 4 times.
Load VTxtN with Text and loop number
Load VTxtV with Text and loop number
Load VDrawN with Draw and loop number
Load VKeyN with Key and loop number
Load VKeyV with KeyF and loop number
Cursor at X, 136
Create Box called VDrawN
Create Text called VTxtN with text VTxtV
Create Key called VKeyN with function VKeyV
Increase X position by 115
Increase Loop number by 1

Define a page named "pageName" with style "pageStyle"

Run CreateFunc function


Create KeyF1 function that changes textstyle colour red
Create KeyF2 function that changes textstyle colour blue
Create KeyF3 function that changes textstyle colour yellow
Create KeyF4 function that changes textstyle colour lime

After loading show the page named "pageName"

LIB(background,"SDHC/bground.png");
LIB(asc_16,"SDHC/asc_16b.fnt");

STYLE(pageStyle, Page) { image = background; }
STYLE(textStyle,Text) {font=asc_16; col=\\000d55;}
STYLE(drawStyle,Draw) {type=box; col=\\000d55; back=\\80ffffff; width=2;}

VAR(X,62,U16);
VAR(Num,1,U8);
VAR(VTxtN,"",TXT);
VAR(VTxtV,"",TXT);
VAR(VDrawN,"",TXT);
VAR(VKeyN,"",TXT);
VAR(VKeyV,"",TXT);

FUNC(CreateFunc)
{
LOOP(createl,4)
{
LOAD(VTxtN,"Text",Num); LOAD(VTxtV,"Text",Num);
LOAD(VDrawN,"Draw",Num);
LOAD(VKeyN,"Key",Num); LOAD(VKeyV,"KeyF",Num);
POSN(X,136);
DRAW(VDrawN,95,95,drawStyle);
TEXT(VTxtN,VTxtV,textStyle);
KEY(VKeyN,VKeyV,95,95,TOUCH);
CALC(X,X,115,"+");
CALC(Num,Num,1,"+");
}
}

PAGE(pageName, pageStyle)
{
RUN(CreateFunc);
}

FUNC(KeyF1){LOAD(textStyle.col,red);;}
FUNC(KeyF2){LOAD(textStyle.col,blue);;}
FUNC(KeyF3){LOAD(textStyle.col,yellow);;}
FUNC(KeyF4){LOAD(textStyle.col,lime);;}
SHOW(pageName);
