Icons

[The_Kez]

I wouldn't ask such a simple question without looking it up in the wiki first but what I found in the wiki doesn't seem to be working; maybe it's something I'm doing wrong.

I'm trying to get icons to show in my GuiTextListEntry...for some reason though it's not showing.

Here is the initialization of the TextListCtrl and parent:

PHP Code:

    new GuiScrollCtrl("ETControl_TextList2_Scroll") {
      profile = GuiBlueScrollProfile;
      height = 158;
      hscrollbar = "alwaysOff";
      vscrollbar = "dynamic";
      width = 128;
      x = 212;
      y = 51;

      new GuiTextListCtrl("ETControl_TextList2") {
        profile = GuiBlueTextListProfile;
        height = 32;
        horizsizing = "width";
        width = 124;
        seticonsize( 15, 15 );
        thiso.catchevent( this.name, "onRightMouseDown", "onDropDownMenu" );
      }
    } 


seticonsize works, because I can see it offsetting the text to the correct amount. I'm assuming that 'icon' is the textlistentry attribute which is reading as the image of the icon? This is what I tried:

PHP Code:

    with ( ETControl_TextList2.addrow(0, "Team Guilds") ) {
      icon = "block.png"; //as a test image
    } 


Maybe someone will see where my issue is?

If I recall correctly, icon is actually a TDrawingPanel, so you will have to do something like

PHP Code:

icon.drawimage(0, 0, "image.png");

PHP Code:

ETControl_TextList2.addrow( 0, "Team Guilds").icon.drawimage(0, 0, "block.png"); 


That worked, so I guess I'm sort of answering my own question, but I'm unsure as to why it works and I don't want to just take it on faith that it will work without understanding it.

Can anyone explain why it has to be done this way?

It has to do with objects.

ETControl_TextList2 <--- That's your TextList Control Object

.addrow( 0, "Team Guilds") <- You calling the command "addrow" which is returning a row object

.icon <-- You are getting the object "icon" from the previous row object

.drawimage(0, 0, "block.png"); <-- You are drawing an image, "block.png" at positon x: 0, y: 0 onto the "icon" object.
