Align to another window

Draven_Caine · #1 12-12-2010, 08:35 PM

Greetings,
Is there a way to have window B auto align to window A if window A is moved?

If window A is player window and window B is effects:

If i move the player window, to have the effects window always aligned to the player window right side?

Thanks,
Draven

Yes, via OnMove code in Window A that moves Window B. Basically OnMove="WindowB.Left = WindowA.Left+WindowA.Width+1 WindowB.Top=WindowA.Top ".

Greetings,
Thanks GM9, its a bit more complex than VG's UI but very understandable. I'll be able to work-in some of my ideas now ... at a later date

Thanks,
Draven

Greetings,
Ok i got the code working, not as dynamic as yours but my player window is a set size so it works.

Is there a way to set a window size to the number of icons in it. This is for the detrimental effects.

Like if there is one row of icons set the window width to 25 width, if there are 2 rows set the width to 50 width?

Thanks,
Draven

Don't think there is a way. Better off just setting the sorting order with the available options.

A few issues I ran into.

How do it get it to subtract?
It seems that if you add a variable of plus or minus to the code it doesn't behave in the UI builder, this might be just a UI builder issue though.

UIBuilder doesn't like math calculations that result in numbers higher than... 10? I think....
Something like that. it returns the numbers with large 1e10 type values that break the code.

In-game will work fine though.

Ahh, that makes sense, thanks Drumstix.

Do you happen to know how to subtract with GM9's code from this thread, it doesn't seem to work for me, in or out of game.

Thanks,
Draven

What do you mean? Post your code.

Subtraction is as easy as addition.. just replace + with -
