#7 Unlimited Procedure Inputs

[Jacob]

This request is for, lets say for example, a procedure
that creates a text box with 10 lines available, but
you don't have to have that many lines.

Current code would look like this:
TextBox("Str 1", "Str 2", "Str 3", "", "", "", "", "",
"", "")

The code I want would look like this:
TextBox("Str 1", "Str 2", "Str 3")

But the procedure would except up to 10 inputs.

Jacob, please remember that TNT is a 'programming language'. This feature
request section is for things which can't be done using the existing feature
set, or could be done better without 'bending the rules' a bit. The type of
function you are talking about here could be implemented quite easily using
the current set of calls. Programmers tend to build up a set of routines which
they use a lot, generally referred to as a toolkit, and this falls into that
category. Using your example you could pass an array of ten strings and an
integer which states exactly how many should be used. We already have
variable length parameters, just look a the polygon calls, so what sort of
functions should we implement?

Try to implement it in the current TNT first, if you can't do it then ask in the
forums. If it still can't be done then please do post here.
