Good Job, looks quite professional. =]

styling tip : With multiple vars that are being set to the same thing you can just use '='
ie

PHP Code:


			
....  
  tile     = 
  canMove  =
  canClose = true;

  canResize   =
  canMaximize = false;
....

also, you can save lines by using

position = { x, y};
extent = { width, height};

in this format you can do operations which you can't do in the "x y" format.

Looks good. Can you post a screenshot? I made something similar here.

Schetti · #4 03-14-2009, 08:32 PM

if I see that one mines bad.

cyan3 · #5 03-14-2009, 08:52 PM

Nice work, it looks great

cbk1994 · #6 03-14-2009, 09:49 PM

That's the worst suggestion I've seen posted in a long time. For one, it would require you to edit the "max length" of all the variable as soon as you add a new variable that has a longer name then the previously longest one.

MiniOne · #9 03-14-2009, 11:41 PM

I think stefan stole your idea xD

LoneAngelIbesu · #10 03-15-2009, 01:23 AM

I would suggest a GUI that can post the news to a file, and then load the text from that file in to the various tabbed panes.

I find that sticking to a single project and making it perfect is the best way to learn how to script.

I think he was refering to doing something like this:

temp.foo = temp.bar = 2;

However, I do agree with you.

Correct me if I'm wrong but won't this make the gui scroll?

PHP Code:


			
new GuiScrollCtrl("MyGUI_MultiLine1_Scroll") {

      profile = GuiBlueScrollProfile;

      height = 800;

      hscrollbar = "dynamic";

      vscrollbar = "dynamic";

      width = 800;

      y = 1;



      new GuiMLTextCtrl("MyGUI_MultiLine1") {

        profile = GuiBlueMLTextProfile;

        height = 16;

        horizsizing = "width";

        text = " News here";                                        



        width = 518;

       }

      };

I don't get the problem, it works great for me and I have never had a problem with it....

       }

      };

umm...
I dont think so.
I made a LOOOOONG text, and it just didnt show up anymore.

how to say ...

the text goes out of the news window and wont be showen.

Mark Sir Link · #15 03-15-2009, 07:31 AM

it'd be a good idea to name the GUI objects something useful rather than "ExampleWindow" and MyGUI_ScrollLine2 etc
