So I made this for my new ComputerCraft YouTube program and thought I may as well post it here as it's quite handy, imo.
The functions can be found here
Usage Example (confirmBox and drawBox functions):
How it works:
The height of the box is determined by how many strings you give it.
Usage Example (textBox function):
(This box allows as much text as you need - supports scroll!)
How it works:
The functions can be found here
Usage Example (confirmBox and drawBox functions):
How it works:
borderCol = colour of the outside border
boxCol = colour of the inside of the box
headingCol = colour of the heading that appears at the top of the box
textCol = colour of the text that appears within the box
xStart = starting X position of the box (top left hand corner of the box)
xEnd = ending X position of the box (top right hand corner of the box)
yStart = starting Y positon of the box (top line)
... = arguments, accepts as many as you want. First one is the title.The height of the box is determined by how many strings you give it.

os.loadAPI("box")
screenX, screenY = term.getSize()
-- Draw a confirm box
term.clear()
opt = box.confirmBox(colours.grey, colours.lightGrey, colours.red, colours.white, 5, screenX - 5, 6, "Confirm", "Are you sure you want to", "delete the file?", "thisFile")
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1, 1)
print(opt)
if opt == "YES" then
-- Yes let's delete the file
else
-- Why not?
end
sleep(1)
-- Draw a normal box with text
term.clear()
box.drawBox(colours.grey, colours.lightGrey, colours.red, colours.white, 5, screenX - 5, 6, "", "This is a test and can be", "considered as the most useless", "information. But it's just a test!") -- Use "" as the first string if you don't want it to have a headingUsage Example (textBox function):
(This box allows as much text as you need - supports scroll!)
How it works:
--[[
boxCol = colour of the entire box
textCol = colour of the text inside of the box area
xStart = starting X position of the box
xEnd = ending X position of the box
yStart = starting Y position of the box
yEnd = ending Y position of the box
tText = Can be a string OR a table
String:
- Use '\n' to separate lines.
