Last and this month, controls challenges are going in the Challenge of the Month. So today, I'd like to write about Controls.
Controls in Small Basic
There are three controls in Small Basic - button, text input box and multi-line text input box. Following sample screen shots are from a program Dictionary 1.2b (ZRS542-0).

Rotary Control
This control (HZV539-0) is originally written by Pappa Lapub. I modified not to rotate image but to move red dot. Anyway, it's cool. You need the rotary knob image for this program.
