pwner 35 Posted October 24, 2016 Try ctrlSetBackgroundColor or look through the other GUI commands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gc8 970 Posted October 24, 2016 Try ctrlSetBackgroundColor or look through the other GUI commands. thx but I have tried that and these commands which seem to do nothing: _button ctrlSetForegroundColor [1, 0, 0, 1]; _button ctrlSetActiveColor [1, 0, 0, 1]; _button ctrlSetBackgroundColor [1, 0, 0, 1]; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pwner 35 Posted October 24, 2016 I can't remember if you needed to do this, but did you run ctrlCommit after? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gc8 970 Posted October 24, 2016 I can't remember if you needed to do this, but did you run ctrlCommit after? yeah. here's my full code so far. _researchCfg2 = missionConfigFile >> "ResearchMenu" >> "controls"; _renum2 = getNumber (_researchCfg2 >> "idc"); _button = _display ctrlCreate ["RscButton", 1234, _display displayCtrl _renum2]; _button ctrlSetPosition [0,0, 0.3,0.1]; _button ctrlsettext format["test"]; _button ctrlSetTextColor [1, 0, 0, 1]; _button ctrlSetForegroundColor [1, 0, 0, 1]; _button ctrlSetActiveColor [1, 0, 0, 1]; _button ctrlSetBackgroundColor [1, 0, 0, 1]; _button ctrlCommit 0; the only thing changes is the text color to red....

pierremgi 4736 Posted October 8, 2017 https://feedback.bistudio.com/T78904 It seems you should use the description.ext / config.cpp to create your button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess this is a bug and there's nothing we can do now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
das attorney 857 Posted October 8, 2017 Have you tried renaming your class? It may be trying to load details defined in the main config-file (RscButton) rather than your redefined version in the description file. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HazJ 1288 Posted October 11, 2017 Quote NOTE: Since Arma 3 v1.69.141213 ctrlCreate will also search for control class in mission config, if search in the main config failed. This means one can now define classes in mission config and use them with ctrlCreate Use "RscButtonMenu" instead. disableSerialization; _display = (findDisplay 46) createDisplay "RscDisplayEmpty"; _button = _display ctrlCreate ["RscButtonMenu", 100]; _button ctrlSetPosition [(0.45 * safezoneW + safezoneX), (0.36 * safezoneH + safezoneY), (0.1 * safezoneW), (0.04 * safezoneH)]; _button ctrlSetBackgroundColor [1, 0, 0, 1]; _button ctrlCommit 0; 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
