useOwnProfile taking over default?

When changing a GuiContextMenuCtrl textprofile's font size, color, and style via useownprofile, when right clicking on the accounts in the in-game playerlist and viewing player profiles, those attributes carry over. How do I limit this to only the GuiContextMenuCtrl I've created? Here's a snippet of what I've done; maybe I'm just doing it incorrectly?

PHP Code:


		
			
new GuiContextMenuCtrl( "Guild_Menu" ) {

    useOwnProfile = true;

    profile = GuiBluePopUpMenuProfile;

    textprofile = GuiBlueTextListProfile;

    textprofile.fontSize = 15;

    textprofile.fontColor = "orange";

    textprofile.fontStyle = "bold";

I understand I'm modifying the GuiBlueTextListProfile, but that's only because (obviously) I need the qualities from it. I only want that useownprofile to effect that GuiContextMenuCtrl. Any ideas?

I always put useownprofile = true; under the profile you're working with, and that always works for me.

PHP Code:


		
			
new GuiWindowCtrl("Window") {

  profile = GuiBlueWindowProfile;

  useownprofile = true;

}

Emera, I was thinking that the order might have been a problem as well. I believe, however, that the problem lies within the fact that GuiContextMenuCtrl objects (can) use two different profiles. I don't think useOwnProfile applies to the textprofile at all. I guess you might be better off creating your own profile for this purpose, maybe inheriting the one you wanted to use originally. Profile inheritance should be possible somehow, I just can't remember how to do it, sorry.

Pretty sure you can do...

textprofile.profile = "nameofprofile";

I never knew you could use useownprofile for specific profiles like that. That's neato.

As far as I know, useOwnProfile is not a GuiControlProfile variable. So that probably won't work. Worth a shot though.

OP's problem with useOwnProfile taking over the defaults is indeed caused by the ordering of useOwnProfile.

You could probably do something like... (edit: tested, this does work)

PHP Code:


		
			
textprofile = new GuiBlueTextListProfile();
textprofile.fontColor = {255, 0, 0};

or just make your own profile the normal way (you can do new GuiBlueTextListProfile("MyProfile") instead of new GuiControlProfile("MyProfile") for inheritence).

Please don't put profile names in quotes. They're objects, not strings. useOwnProfile is a property of a GUI control, not of a profile (that wouldn't make sense since profiles are shared, hence why unique ones are necessary to make changes for a certain object).

textprofile and scrollprofile are the profile objects the control is using.

PHP Code:


		
			
profile = GuiBlueContextMenuProfile;
textprofile = GuiBlueTextListProfile;
scrollprofile = GuiBlueScrollProfile;

You can't.

Worked great, thanks. :)
