Hi guys long time no see, I'm trying to get the system.windows.form libary up on the mainmenuscreen so I can play around with the browser control and richtext boxes for my news system however of course both of the libarys use the word panel so the ide throws a hissy fit.

I recall somewhere that in .net you can stop this by iden tifying which 1 you're using with the using command. I tried to google this but my google skills are crap and I couldn't find what I'm looking for so I turned to the forum for help.

If you don't get what I mean I'll show you the hack and slash trail and error code I've been trying

var menuButtons = GameScreenHelper.CreateMenuButtons(new Panel(GUIManager, Vector2.Zero, ScreenManager.ScreenSize) using NetGore.Graphics.GUI, "Login", "New Account", "Options", "Quit");

any help on the matter would be great

thanks

Just check how its done in the rest of the code. You specify a using directive usually at the top of the file. Using directives are only needed when you do not use a fully qualified name. So just add the "using NetGore.Graphics.GUI" at the top of the file.

I Don't think you understand what I'm trying to say, doesn't help that I got the title mixed up

using System.Linq;
using NetGore.Graphics.GUI;
using SFML.Graphics;
using System.Windows.Forms;

is at the top of the code however Panel is both an ambiguous name for system.windows.forms and netgore.graphics.gui

var menuButtons = GameScreenHelper.CreateMenuButtons(new Panel(GUIManager, Vector2.Zero, ScreenManager.ScreenSize), "Login", "New Account", "Options", "Quit");
