[hlcoders] drag and drop
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] CONTEXT: We'd like to create a drag-and-drop interface for our mod. When the user drags off of a panel, the cursor changes and text/image follows the cursor as the user drags (i.e. user clicks and drags off a panel containing text "dog"; cursor changes to dog cursor and text "dog" follows cursor around). PROBLEM: The cursor change is no problem. To make the text/image follow the cursor, we create a transparent panel with a label/image, then set that panel's position to the mouse position OnTick. We've tried setting the tick to occur every .1 sec to every .001 sec but the panel still noticeably lags behind the cursor. QUESTION: Is there a way to 'attach' a panel to the mouse position without lag? -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] drag and drop
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I would assume this is because the mouse is only updated after your OnTick code, and there is one frame lag there... I had a similar problem in my mod because we were setting the position for a panel in the Paint function of another. The only thing I can think of is to modify the Paint function of the point, if there is even one, or just let it lag and call it a feature.

Re: [hlcoders] drag and drop
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] SOLUTION: For anyone still interested, the way to fix this is to update the position in the OnCursorMoved(...) event rather than in OnTick(). That's what the devs do in the built-in drag & drop code and it works for custom jobs as well. Remember to catch the OnCursorMoved event for all panels that the mouse could pass through while 'dragging'. If anyone wants more information, let me know.
