Legacy:GUIMenuOption

UT2003 :: Object >> GUI >> GUIComponent >> GUIMultiComponent >> GUIMenuOption (Package: XInterface)

Parent class for combined components that include a caption and a widget.

Properties

string ComponentClassName

Name of the component to spawn. Subclasses of this set a default.

localized string Caption

Caption for the label

string LabelFont

Name of the Font for the label

Color LabelColor

Color for the label

bool bHeightFromComponent

Get the Height of this component from the subcomponent (the thing spawned by ComponentClassName). For example, a moComboBox will obtain its WinHeight from its embedded GUIComboBox object's default height. Beware of this property! It is True by default, and that means that setting WinHeight will have NO effect and you'll be tearing your hair to work out why!

float CaptionWidth

How big should the Caption be

float ComponentWidth

How big should the Component be (-1 = 1-CaptionWidth)

bool bFlipped

Draw the Component to the left of the caption

eTextAlign LabelJustification

How do we justify the label: one of TXTA_Left, TXTA_Center, TXTA_Right (defined in GUI).

eTextAlign ComponentJustification

How do we justify the label

bool bSquare

Use the Height for the Width

bool bVerticalLayout

Layout controls vertically

Discussion

Tarquin: these are great, but is there a nice way to set properties for the subwidgets? Eg, I can do this:

 moComboBox.MyComboBox.List.TextAlign=TXTA_Right;

in the InitComponent() of the panel I'm using this in, but not this in default props of the same panel:

 Begin Object class=moComboBox Name=TestComboBox
   WinTop    = 0.4;
   WinLeft   = 0.0;
   WinWidth  = 1.0;
   WinHeight = 0.1;
   CaptionWidth=0.45
   Caption="Combo box"
   MyComboBox.List.TextAlign=TXTA_Left; // chokes!
 End Object
