The Wiki is actually very sensibly organised. Let me give you some examples of how you might search for things in the Wiki.
I'm working with a GuiTabCtrl, but I want to look up how to clear all of the tabs.
- Open up the wiki (http://wiki.graal.net/Creation/Dev/GScript) and navigate to the clientside page, because I'm working clientside.
- Now, a GuiTabCtrl is a class or object, so navigate to "Classes / Object Types".
- I've got a tree of objects now, so find GuiTabCtrl and click it. I've now got a page up with all of the functions, variables and events related to the object.
- Here I find the function I'm looking for: clearRows()
Now I've got my GuiTabCtrl working, I want to change some attributes about the control. For example, I want to change the size of it, but that attribute isn't listed under GuiTabCtrl.
- The top of the page states that it inherits 'GuiControl', so everything that is available in GuiControl is available to my GuiTabCtrl. Click the 'GuiControl' link.
- I look down the list of variables and see the 'extent' variable; that's the one I'm looking for.
Now finally, I want to edit the text of one of the tabs by making it lower case. I want to edit the variable MyTabs.rows[0].text.
- Navigate back to http://wiki.graal.net/Creation/Dev/GScript and go back to the clientside functions.
- I'm looking for functions regarding strings, so look under the '1.4 Functions' header in the navigation box.
- Find '1.4.1.3 Strings' listed under Common. Perfect. A list of common string functions. Follow the link.
- Listed there is just the function I'm looking for:
PHP Code:
lowercase(str text) - returns lowercased string
That isn't difficult. For the object types, the available events are listed at the bottom of the page where available. It isn't difficult to find things.
If you are worried that you can't figure out the basic events (
if (created) is now
function onCreated()) then look at the old commands.rtf and just rewrite them in the
function onEVENTNAME() format.
