Re: last two posts here - please take a look at the OP! This thread is not for suggesting new features; those should go in the suggestions sub-forum. This thread is purely for "things that already exist in the core code but aren't accessible via the API".
I'm not entirely sure which part of my post is a new feature. The game already has tri-pad menus that have scrollable tabs and side menus (intel and command screens). I'm mainly asking that we can call up the drawing of the tri-pad window, as well as whatever functionality is in the actual content window.
The checkboxes (settings/help tips), and text inputs (character creation text boxes, faction creation text boxes) are also in the game, we just can't make them without doing all the LWJGL work to emulate them. I'll admit, multi-line text boxes don't exist currently, from what I can remember.
I don't mean to argue, just think I didn't communicate it properly.
