RE: [hlcoders] quick menu question
Having a frame open will get mouse control, yes. However I want it like the main menu, buttons that open different frames (without having any frames visible) and the only way I can think of to achieve this would be to have a frame the size of the screen then containing the buttons and the sub frames, which leads to the z errors etc. Any other ideas/more specific?

Why not just put your buttons on the main menu? On Fri, 07 Jan 2005 04:26:47 -0500, Maurino Berry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Having a frame open will get mouse control, yes.

Re: [hlcoders] quick menu question
I meant simmilar to the main menu, but completely unrelated... this is going to be a menu you can toggle and open different frames like inventory, skills, etc _ Take charge with a pop-up guard built on patented Microsoft® SmartScreen Technology. http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-capage=byoa/premxAPID=1994DI=1034SU=http://hotmail.com/encaHL=Market_MSNIS_Taglines Start enjoying all the benefits of MSN® Premium right now and get the first two months FREE*. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
RE: [hlcoders] quick menu question
Each frame is an independent entity with respect to mouse and keyboard input. You can have one frame create another frame that could accept user input. A frame is a popup, a root level container, when painting it isn't clipped by its parent (its visibility is controlled by the parent however). The vgui_drawtree console command is a good tool to visualize the hierarchy of VGUI2 panels in the game and how they effect each other. - Alfred Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Maurino Berry Sent: Friday, January 07, 2005 1:27 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlcoders] quick menu question Having a frame open will get mouse control, yes.

RE: [hlcoders] quick menu question
Thanks, I know what I have to do now. I'm just used to having a full canvas to work on, instead I'll have to create frames for the different bits, instead of making it the size of the screen _ Don't just Search.

RE: [hlcoders] quick menu question
You want a Frame, it's a base level container for controls. Just don't make your frame the size of the screen :) - Alfred Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Maurino Berry Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2005 7:06 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] quick menu question I want to create a menu which contains multiple frames (drag around, overlap etc like the main menu) and I don't know which baseclass to use as the parent (in order to gain mouse control) I obviously can't use a fullscreen Frame because as soon as I click this it will come into focus ontop of the children and render the children unuseable. I'd look at the main menu source but from what I've been told it's in the gameui.dll Can anyone make a suggestion on how I could achieve this? Thanks in advance. _ Don't just Search.
