Gui Editor: Profiles not available?

by Dave Young · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 09/26/2008 (12:09 pm) · 4 replies

In the fabulous new GUI Editor in 1.7.1, I'm not seeing a dropdown box for Gui Profiles, only a text box. Typing in a profile to the box and hitting enter or tabbing out doesn't seem to do anything.

I haven't seen a bug report on this, is it just me?

The dropdown seems to be missing between 1.7 and 1.7.1

On further look, it was done explicitly here in guiControl.cpp

So it's supposed to be a string and not the enum. This would be fine if we also had a profile list.

//addProtectedField("Profile", TypeGuiProfile, Offset(mProfile, GuiControl), &setProfileProt, &defaultProtectedGetFn, "");
addField("Profile", TypeString, Offset(mProfileName, GuiControl));

I coded up a guiProfile pallete so I can drag and drop a profile onto a guiControl in the guiEditor and have the profile updated live.

Necessity is the mother of invention!

I also call it: the brilliance of programmer laziness!

Good job, Dave.
