GUI HELP

[DYLANzzz]

Ok so I'm not sure where else this would go (unless coding maybe or modding) but I am making a real simple GUI and I wanted to know how to put buttons on a window...
I can make buttons and make windows but how do I make the button like a part of the window.
Also how do I make it so when you press a key the GUI pops up (or /slashcommand either or)

Lets bump a 30 minute old topic! On Topic: From what I have done, press f10 in mission editor to make Gui's. Just keep at it and you will find the button maker. Since its a main aspect, it shouldn't be too hard to find.

I'd suggest looking at simple GUIs that are already in Blockland, learn how the hierarchy of objects works on the right, familiarize yourself with the common settings used for controls (like base\client\ui\button1 for the GuiBitmapButtonCtrl) and then start experimenting. You can use ctrl+c and ctrl+v in the gui editor, so that might help.

Ok I'll try that, and one more quick questtion: How do I load a GUI? There is no load option and it doesn't popup.






EDIT: And by

how do I make the button like a part of the window.

I mean how do I make a window the parent of a button?

Two things: Don't be sorry just don't do it :P and only bumping every couple of days I think is best.

How do I load a GUI?
In the console, exec() the GUI file you made (i.e. exec("Add-Ons/Client/mynewgui.gui");), then it appears in the GUI Editor in the drop down box. To actually open it by scripting (if you are releasing this), make sure it has been exec();'d by your client scripts and then use canvas.pushDialog(mynewgui);.

Right click on the window you want to put things in to set that as the parent for newly created objects.
