Making a key/control config menu?

[N64Mario]

is there an example, or tutorail of making a custom key/control config menu, ala storyboard/frame wise?

Because while I noticed MMF2 apps as .exe fiels have their own built-in method of changing controls, other times (like vitalize builds, and maybe java builds) do NOT have this built in feature. Some people have been asking me to include a key control config menu for my game engine.

Any ideas I can go about making this?

I have one in my current game. Don't have time to upload an example right now, but use the Control X extension. Basically, I created actives for buttons for up, down, left, right, jump, and action buttons. Then to change the controls, click on the Up button for instance, then prompt them to press a key. Get the last key pressed value with the Control X extensions and store it in an array or ini. When the game is loaded, load the ini or array, and using the Control X ext. change the keybinds to the stored values.

Thats the rough idea, hope that helps get you started.

Short version: use the Control X extension.

man I hate ini... err.... mainly due to fact that it's somehow hard me me to understand how it works as a whole (all of its features, uses, etc). >_<

also, do i HAVE to use control X extension, or can I do this without any use of extensions? because in my game engine, im trying not to use any extentions as much as possible.
