Gumps, Buttons, Dragability.

[Celtic]

Hello everyone,

I have been fiddling and fiddling, then moved on to searching and searching, but I have found nothing that can help me with my problem.

I am wondering if it is possible to make the GumpButton dragable? If you had a background, with a button in the middle, the button is obviously classed as an undragable region. I am wondering if it is possible to either...

A) Make a GumpButton dragable
B) Make another component that is dragable, have an OnResponse callback.

I hope that this isn't to vague, but thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

Celtic

dunno.
Look for jeff's new gump helper when it comes out, jeff is god, so expect nothing less then perfection from his work! (example CUO)

The only thing I can think of is to try to make a gump within a gump. I do not believe it is possible to have objects within the gump window movable, but I am not completely sure.

Ask Lucid Nagual, he tried this a while back and I think he got an alternative working.

What I did was make the art into a background. Then I added a tiny button in the corner. The art is dragable with no click functions til the button is pressed. Press the button and it locks the art and tells a bool that it is locked and the bool lays a button over the background for an OnResponse method.

My current problem is that the client won't tell the server that the gump moved. Once you logout and back in you have to move all your gumps back into position again. I have seen code for Sigil's Vanguard that is in beta phase and it tracks movement with the tip of the pointer. I'm hoping I can find a way to track a mouse (click/hold) and the movement of the pointer and save it into the server side.

anything is possiblle, but if you are a begginer at this then i would suggest starting with something a little easier, but you never know you might figure out something. Good luck to you.

hrumm...

@LN: if you were really desperate, you could have the user tell you the X and Y location s/he wants the gump to show up at...(via another gump). That's a "whatever works" kinda fix, tho...

@Celtic: If you're looking to specifically make buttons draggable, the only way I know how to do that is to create multiple sub-gumps. It wouldn't be too hard to do programmatically. The OnResponse for these gumps would call a method in the main gump class to do whatever actions you need done.

I'm looking at making the gump dragable. Adding X and Y positions is the generic way and not dragable at all. I would like to get it's X and Y position after draging it not by adding it manually.

Yarr. I realize what you *want* to do, I'm trying to find a fix that doesn't require boatloads of work for you... (but isn't nearly as cool, either :-\)
