Another thing to remember is that it is all about your parents. In VGUI2 visibility is controlled by your position in the panel tree and the visibility of any panel between you and the root.
For your case you need to make sure you parent your GameUI panel to the GameUI tree, and not to the client dll one. This call in your panels Activate() call: SetParent( EngineVGui()->GetPanel( PANEL_GAMEUIDLL ) ); should do it. - Alfred ----Original Message---- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kamran Sent: Monday, July 18, 2005 10:39 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Drawing panels outside of a game > Sure is, read my little addition to the Create a Panel tutorial: > > http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/VGUI2:_Creating_a_panel#Main_Men u > > This is how I create my New Game panel. > > Tim Jones wrote: > > > Hi all, > > I'm trying to display a configuration menu of sorts in my mod > > without requiring the user to start/join a server.
