More Widgets

The combobox and listbox widget scripts are now updated. The combobox is presently using a more game-like style that jus shows the currently selected item. You can change the selection by clicking on the widget with the mouse, pressing keyboard keys, or scrolling the mouse wheel.

 

The listbox includes a slider that automatically appears when needed. In order to make rendering faster, the draw function calculates the first and last visible items, and only iterates through those items while drawing. That means that whether the list contains ten items or 1000, it will render at the exact same speed.

 

I have not yet figured out how to handle holding the mouse to continue scrolling the slider, since there is no MouseRepeat event in Windows (and probably not in Linux either).

 

 

You can get this update now on the beta branch on Steam.

Oh, that was just testing. No images are used. There's a DrawPolygon() function I used for the arrows.

how to initialize gui?, this draws a button all over my screen (with a small text)

 

--Create a GUI
local gui = GUI:Create(context)

--Create a new widget
local button = Widget:Create(20,20,300,50,gui:GetBase())

--Set the widget's script to make it a button
button:SetScript("Scripts/GUI/Button.lua")

--Set the button text
button:SetText("Button")

In my MFC control I'm using the system's double-click time as base in a timer. The interval between the first and second call is longer than the subsequent calls.

    while EventQueue:Peek() do
       local event = EventQueue:Wait()
       if event.id == Event.WidgetAction then
           System:Print("WidgetAction")
       elseif event.id == Event.WidgetSelect then
           System:Print("WidgetSelect")
       end
   end

How do you check which widget sent the event? Trying to get something simple but usable for my game entry...
