Page boundary clipping...how?

ger · #1 03-03-2005, 12:01 AM

So I'm working on a theory that requires 5 elements to be half on, half off the page, and that the page only display the on-page portions of these elements. I thought anything outside of the page/parent-page would automatically be cropped, but this seems not to be the case. I tried using the ClipToPage="true" argument, but that turned off the display of everything in the page—clearly this isn't what I was shooting for. Anyone got any suggestions?

Mind posting at least a snippet of the XML you're working with? I've used page objects successfully to crop stuff (well, so have a lot of people; most experience bar mods use page cropping).

Hmm... You're trying to crop a Progressbar, right? I notice that those don't actually crop when I mess with a window size in UIBuilder. If that is what you're trying to do, you may have to make an image and use alpha settings to make parts of the bar invisible.

Ah crud. I was afraid of that. The problem is, that'll make the window about 3x the height it needs to be and 4x the width. *sigh* The weird thing is, I swear when I was working on my 2x implied target window I accidentally left the health and power progressbars the same from the 4x target window and they cropped...but maybe I'm just smoking crack and they didn't. *sigh again*

Hm...wait, I just reread what you said. You mean make a new progress style for each bar and have part of the source image transparent? Now that could work. I'll have to try it.

Deathbane27, you are as always a genius. Worked perfectly. I'll post the results of this little experiment...I think y'all might like it.
