GUI

[ghost]

I want to make a GUI for my COSMOS project, I have made everything else. Now I want to make a GUI for it. I tried the instructions, but I cant figure out how to reference the Hardware project. Can I have the source code for it? (Or a better tutorial at least)

[ghost]

Try using the HAL project instead.

@MichaelTheShifter it's not the HAL project, it's the Hardware project created during the tutorial. @DjAlEx234 Right-click References in your main Cosmos project (the one without Boot in the name) and click Add Reference, go to Project References and select the Hardware project.

Thanks! I would never look there. I love cosmos and it's community, this helped me a lot.

[ghost]

Okay, so I tried it. It says from this code using Hardware; Hardware does not exist in this context. Can I have a finished project that works with it?

[jp2masa]

What namespace did you use in the DisplayDriver class?

[ghost]

CosmosKernel4 (the name of the project)

[jp2masa]

And the main project is CosmosKernel3?

[ghost]

no the main project is CosmosKernel4

[jp2masa]

And the project of the DisplayDriver?

[ghost]

Hardware

[jp2masa]

In the DisplayDriver class, what's the namespace?

[ghost]

shouldn't it be CosmosKernel4? or should it be Display?

[jp2masa]

If it's CosmosKernel4 you don't need any "using"

[ghost]

then what do you do?

[jp2masa]

Ignore the "using" part

[ghost]

k i'll try it

[ghost]

I`m confused, can I have a project that is finished?

[jp2masa]

Finished like what?

[ghost]

the gui part finished. but the default code in run

[jp2masa]

You did the part of initializing the DisplayDriver?

[ghost]

it showed an error

[jp2masa]

Whenever you get an error, please paste the output log.

[ghost]

ok

[jp2masa]

You have something like: public class Kernel : Sys.Kernel {

Right after that write: DisplayDriver display;

[ghost]

?

[ghost]

want the code

[jp2masa]

In your Kernel.cs file

[jp2masa]

Paste Kernel.cs contents if you want me to help you better

[ghost]

ok: `using static System.Console; using Sys = Cosmos.System; using System.IO;

namespace CosmosKernel4 { public class Kernel : Sys.Kernel { protected override void BeforeRun() { var fs = new Sys.FileSystem.CosmosVFS(); Sys.FileSystem.VFS.VFSManager.RegisterVFS(fs); Clear(); display = new DisplayDriver(); display.init(); WriteLine("Zach OS booted correctly!

As I said: " You have something like: public class Kernel : Sys.Kernel {

Right after that write: DisplayDriver display; "

[ghost]

after the public class Kernel : Sys.Kernel { part? then change it to: public class Kernel : Sys.Kernel { DisplayDriver display;

[jp2masa]

Yes

[ghost]

k ill try it

[ghost]

thanks it works! I love the community for this.
