Popup box with buttons?

[psycik]

I'm don't have a GetRenderList for the PopupBase since I figured it must be doing that internally, and calling stuff in the internal UI list.

Ok I'll override the getrenderlist.

Ok, got something displaying now, do you know how to mate the items button instead of normal list items??

If I understand the question correctly, I just edited that item in my skin and specified a rows=1 to make it look like a button. I'm not sure if I attempted to use a UIButton instead or not.

What do you mean? I dont understand the question.

What do you mean? I dont understand the question.

basically I got it to work by having a list in a popup. As in the items I have given to the list are UiSimpleList.Item. I couldn't figure out how to make a button ( UiButton )and add it either to a list or to a screen.

So the List is workable, and I'll just jimmy it around a bit so that the "items" look like buttons rather than a regular list object.

You dont need to do it exactly this way, but this was some bits I was able to cut and paste.

Code:

protected UiButton okButton;

Code:

PointF okOrigin = skinHelper2.getPlacementPos("OkButton");
            SizeF okSize = skinHelper2.getNamedImageRelativeSize("PopupCenterButtonNormal");
            okButton = new UiButton(skinHelper2, "OK", new RectangleF(okOrigin.X - (okSize.Width / 2), okOrigin.Y - (okSize.Height / 2), okSize.Width, okSize.Height), "PopupCenterButtonNormal", "PopupCenterButtonSelected");

Code:

protected override ArrayList getPostBackgroundRenderList()
        {
            // ok button
            ArrayList buttonRenderList = okButton.GetRenderList();
            renderList.AddRange(buttonRenderList);

            // probably other stuff like storing a list of button locations for testing with OnUiClick etc...

            return renderList;
        }


        public override void Dispose()
        {
            okButton.Dispose();
            base.Dispose();
        }

Hope that helps.

Ok, I might give this a go..... I suppose either way will work, it's just I'm running out of keys to do stuff.

How does the button get keypress events? I was expecting a OnKeyDown method but UiButton doesn't have such a method.

How would the popup know that a button was pressed? In the main plugin it just overrides the handleCommand(string command) method.

Also in ShowDetailsPopup.xml there's this line:
<Placement name="FirstButton" loc="20.5,19" offset="5.5" />
Do you have a code sample for creating a vertical list of buttons?

Typically in my plugin's OnKeyDown(), if the user presses OK, I check which button is selected, then call "handleCommand(selectedButton.GetName())"
