SetPopup() - not showing up....

[psycik]

Is there anything I need to do once I've setPopup to something? I.e. to di actually have to keep the object being used as a pop up and call it's getRenderList(), or is this all done auto-magically?

[psycik]

bump for sub...

Is this one a plugin using BaseButtonListUiTask?

If so, are you overriding the GetRenderList() function? If you are, then you'd need to be calling base.GetRenderList() to give the base class a chance to render the popup.

[psycik]

Yes to both.

and yes, I do call the base.GetRenderList() - actually I do it as the last thing...

Code:

public override ArrayList GetRenderList()
        {
            ArrayList items = new ArrayList();
            items.Add(albumArt);

            items.AddRange(base.GetRenderList());
            
            return items;
        }

From what I can tell, that should be ok.

Have you put break points in the popup's constructor and needsRendering() and GetRenderList() to see if they're called?

[psycik]

I'll have to try it again, but it must be called since I see the album art...

back on this setPopup stuff. At what point of a plugin initialisation will the setPopup actually work?

I can see my code setting the plugin, but then by the time that I get to the GetRenderList, the activePopup is null. What would be clearing it?

[psycik]

I think I've partially figured it out. Its to do with the baseButtunUIList.Initialised property.

Could you find out when that is set to true for me? It doesn't lookt like its set till after the baseButtonUIList.initialise method has run, but I'd like to find the point where its considered "Initialised" to I can call the pop up then.

[sub]

I'm away from my development machine for the next 40 minutes of so, but I'll check soon.

I suspect you can override Activate(), then call Base.Active(), then call your SetPopup() after that.

[psycik]

I figured out another way to do it, but I'd still be interested in knowing when it is set.
