Blank elements in interface

Blagden · #1 12-06-2005, 05:39 PM

I've read and followed the instructions for using the UI Builder. However, I must till be missing something since I am only able to see a black elements for a lot of windows. For instance, I select the Tab on the right side for Interface and can see the graphics for Store and Trade. All the other windows (BuildBank, Bag, Bank, etc...) are all black with red boxes for the elements (as I select each element). What am I messing up?

Wow, figured out the answer to my own question...had to set visible = true. That should definately be put into a FAQ somewhere.

Now for a second dumb question. When does it allow you to use the alignment buttons at the top of the interface? Mine are always greyed out.

You need to select two or more widgets. <shift> + click

Just to clarify..shift+click ONLY works in the graphical display not in the tree view on the left side (sure as heck wish it did, would be a LOT easier). Also sometimes shift+click will get you the wrong controls and there are times you simply can't get the controls you want in the group.. but learning to use shift+click can certainly make you a lot more powerful

Bobble - any chance we could get windows standard shift+click and ctrl+click operations in the list view? This alone would make UIBuilder a million times more powerful and easy to use.

Iirc, you can shift/ctrl click in the list just fine, but you have to then click in the render area to perform an operation.

Or maybe it was that you could shift/ctrl click in the render area then select the list window and you could...

Shift+click or ctrl+click does not work in the tree view for me and never has. As soon as you press SHIFT the focus shisft to the properties edit box. And CTRL+Click just does nothing as far as I can tell, in the tree view that is.

There's a little toggle button for visibility. The little eye button, right next to the lock button and the +/- buttons.
