Controls in dialog

[gc8 977]

Hey

how do you make dialog that has controls in it?

my controls are now across the main screen, i hope u know what i mean?

Basically im trying to create movable window with controls.

PS:

why doesnt this make a button that can be pressed?: (its looks like flat control and nothing happens when u click it)

  class CloseButton : RscButton {

		x = 0.80;
		y = 0.90;
 			w = 0.1;
		h = 0.05;

text = "Close";
action = "closeDialog 0";
};

Here is an example from one of my dialogs:

class TOUR_DMC_MENU_CREATEUNIT
{	
idd = 897898;
movingEnable = true;
onLoad = "TOUR_DMC_createUnitMenuActive = true; [] spawn TOUR_DMC_fnc_createUnitOnLoad;";
onUnload = "TOUR_DMC_createUnitMenuActive = false; [] spawn TOUR_DMC_fnc_createUnitCancel";

class controlsBackground
{
	class TOUR_DMC_CREATEUNIT_BACKGROUND : RscBackground 
	{
		idc = 0;
		colorBackground[] = TOUR_DMC_COLOR_BACKGROUND;
		x = "safeZoneX + (safeZoneW / 5)";
		y = "safeZoneY + (safeZoneH / 7)";
		w = "safeZoneW / 2";
		h = "safeZoneH / 1.5";
		moving = true;
	};
};

class objects 
{

};

class controls 
{
	class TOUR_DMC_CREATEUNIT_SIDECOMBO : RscCombo
	{
		idc = 1;
		x = "safeZoneX + (safeZoneW / 4.5)";
		y = "safeZoneY + (safeZoneH / 4.5)";
		w = "safeZoneW / 5";
		h = "safeZoneH / 40";
		sizeEx = 0.025;
		size = 0.025;
		onLBSelChanged  = "[] call TOUR_DMC_fnc_fillFactionCombo";
	};
};
};

As you can see the controls are created inside of the display (the first class bit), this also means the controls can be moved around by clicking and dragging the background with them. As for the problem with the button, have you got an RscButton class defined in your description.ext? This is because it isnt loaded as a resource by default, you have to manually create it in a mission and load it before you can inherit from that class.

Hope that helped at least a little bit, even if it was just example code :P

Well I finally got around trying it but managed only to make dialog with one label and button that cannot be clicked.

For some reason the background doesnt appear either.

can any one tell whats wrong?

#define false 0

#define FontM             "Zeppelin32"
