GUI reference docs?

by Jason McIntosh · in Torque Game Builder · 03/03/2005 (3:42 pm) · 11 replies

I'm trying to figure out GUIs now, but I can't find reference docs for what all the GUI controls are. Is there a list of this stuff somewhere?

It would be great to have tooltips in the GUI editor that describe each of the settings and widgets when you mouse over.

Ha! After a long time searching resources and such, I found this, which includes a section on GUI objects.

Er, ok, after actually looking at the GUI section, it's not so good. Nevermind. Not much there.

@Matthew: Through trial and error I've managed to pull off what I needed, but I'll take you up on your offer if something else comes up. :)

Glad you did, trial and error is what I'd recommend anyways lol, us programmers are stubborn ehh...

I know a good deal about messageVectors and guiMessageVectorCtrl... the basic ones, and the framectrl... so feel free to ask if you hit a wall :)

Ok, here's one I can't figure out. How can I give a control (like a text input control) focus? The search feature here on the site leaves much to be desired, and there are no docs I can find that mention this.....?

Haven't tested this but might be this


ConsoleMethod( GuiTextEditCtrl, setCursorPos, void, 3, 3, "textEditCtrl.setCursorPos( newPos )" )

taken from the source code...

can try textInput.setCursorPos(0);

if I get a minute I'll test it for you

(on work pc the gui editor runs very very slow)
