Question on Control Groups and Child Control, need help

[dragon zen 15]

Hello my friends:

I want to use ControlGroups to show long structured text, just like http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/DialogControls-ControlsGroup

However, when I write this:

class GunV : RscControlsGroup {

idc=-1;

x=0.65;y=0.2;w=0.25;h=0.2;

class Controls{

class GunV2 : RscStructuredText {

idc = 219;

x=0.65;y=0.2;w=0.25;h=0.2;

colorBackground[] = {0.2,0.4,0.2,0.4};

};

};

};

And in script I write "((findDisplay 200) displayCtrl 219) ctrlSetStructuredText parseText _library;". However, there are only ScrollBars, without any content.

If I don't use ControlGroups, the content is OK, so I hope any one tell me what's wrong with my code? Do I need some change in script??

Thanks

The armory interface uses the RscControlsGroup structure as well. You might find some code examples there.

Ah...that's also a way to solve the problems, but I guess it will be complex to check the code of Amory

Thank you also the same.

Controls within control group are using relative position, where [x=0,y=0] is top left corner of the group, not of the screen. So the structured text is present, but outside of group's area, which makes it invisible.

Try following code where I modified the coordinates:

class GunV: RscControlsGroup
{
idc = -1;
x = 0.65;
y = 0.2;
w = 0.25;
h = 0.2;
class Controls
{
	class GunV2: RscStructuredText
	{
		idc = 219;
		x = [color=green]0[/color];//0.65;
		y = [color=green]0[/color];//0.2;
		w = 0.25;
		h = 0.2;
		colorBackground[] = {0.2,0.4,0.2,0.4};
	};
};
};

Also, you might want to try user interface editor.
