Hotkey bank_page issue

[Prefader]

Wow, I'm just all over these boards this week.

Ok, so I'm trying to do the following:

I prefer my hotkey windows to be arranged 4 high and 3 wide, with the page buttons at the top, and centered horizontally. Once upon a time, this was a simple matter! Not so anymore, though. I've tried a few different approaches:

1) Just move the bank_page to the top of the window, and re-orient the iconbank to fit under it. This only sort of works - I end up with a nice gap at the top of the window where the bank_page SHOULD appear, but the buttons appear in the middle of the window. Now, all of the elements in the bank_page window are set to align to center,top - but it appears that the game has the bank_page hardcoded to vertical center.

2) In light of that possibility, I tried making the bank_page fit the window totally, both vertically and horizontally, and set pack_size to a,a. This fixed the location of the buttons in the bank page, but completely hosed the rest of the window's layout. I'm guessing that the iconbank doesn't like to intersect the bank_page, but I can't even begin to understand what sort of math the iconbank was under the influence of. Try it yourself - you'll be amazed.

3) I tried doing what gm9 has done in ProfitUI, and added the onshow and onhide code from that hotkey window to mine, in order to get around the hardcoded vertical size of the hotkey window. This gave me the exact same results as I had in example 1.

4) On a whim, I then tried making the bank_page the full width of the window, and just reducing the height. Same result, as would be expected.

I really don't know what's going on here. Can anybody produce a hotkey window with the bank_page at the top, and centered horizontally? I highly suggest you try it yourself - it's maddening!

It seems the BankPage location is recalculated each time you change the hotbar window size, so you may have to reset it OnHoverIn.

Quick hack into my hotbar window to make it work:

There is almost certainly a more elegant solution but I'm way too tired right now to even consider thinking about it.

PS: Didn't run into your problems under 2), likely because my window uses a number of workarounds around the hardcoding already...

[Prefader]

Wow - I'm gonna need a little time to pour over that and understand what's happening. I like the way you've doc'd the workarounds right there in the code like that.

[Prefader]

Hmm, that doesn't work for me. The bank_page still appears centered vertically for me.

Also, It seems to kill my framerate.

Anyway, I've decided to go with the bank_page on the side, like it would normally appear, and just trimmed out the deadspace. Close enough, I guess.

Thanks once again for the help!

[gm9]

Strange, that code moved it to the top OnHoverIn for me. But ok.

[Prefader]

Hmmm - I'm just being impatient, I think. I logged in with your code in my hotkey window (minus your styles) and didn't bother mousing over to see what was going on. Not thinking things through - sorry about that. I'll have another look at it.

Also, I'm aware that there's a LOT going on in your UI that might cause it to work poorly if I try to pull code from yours and insert it into mine. No doubt this was the cause of the framerate drop I saw.

Thanks again for the help - I'll keep working with what you've given me.
