Inherit into class Controls of a controls group

[Larrow 2828]

Is it not possible to inherit into class Controls of a control group.

Doing so will show correctly in the configViewer but on loading a dialog only the controls defined directly in the Controls class will actually display.

 

For example..

Description.ext

#include "baseDefines.hpp"
#include "ctrlGrp.hpp"
#include "test.hpp"

Where baseDefines is the export from BIS_fnc_exportGUIBaseClasses.

 

ctrlGrp.hpp

class test_panels
{
  
    class WidgetTest2 : ctrlControlsGroup
    {

        idc = 202;
        x = 0 * safezoneW;
        y = 0 * safezoneH;
        w = 0.128 * safezoneW;
        h = 0.4 * safezoneH;
        
        class Controls
        {
            class MsgBox : ctrlStatic
            {
                idc = -1;
                style = ST_CENTER;
                x = 0 * safezoneW;
                y = 0 * safezoneH;
                w = 0.128 * safezoneW;
                h = 0.2 * safezoneH;
                text = "TEST 1"; //--- ToDo: Localize;
                colorBackground[] = {0,0,0,1};
            };
        };
    };
};

Where these are the base classes i would like to inherit into a controls group Controls as below.

 

test.hpp

class testWidget
{
    idd = 1001;
    x = 0.5 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
    y = 0.5 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
    w = 0.128 * safezoneW;
    h = 0.225 * safezoneH;
    
    class controls {

        class TitleBarBckGrd : ctrlStatic
        {
            idc = -1;
            style = ST_CENTER;
            x = 0 * safezoneW;
            y = 0 * safezoneH;
            w = 0.128 * safezoneW;
            h = 0.022 * safezoneH;
            text = "";
            colorText[] = {0,0,0,1};
            colorBackground[] = {0,0,0,1};
        };
        
        class RollUp : ctrlActiveText
        {
            idc = -1;
            style = ST_PICTURE;
            x = 0 * safezoneW;
            y = 0 * safezoneH;
            w = 0.012 * safezoneW;
            h = 0.022 * safezoneH;
            text = "\a3\3den\Data\Displays\Display3DENSave\sort_up_ca.paa";
            color[] = { 1, 1, 1, 1 };
            colorActive[] = {"(profilenamespace getvariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_R',0.77])","(profilenamespace getvariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_G',0.51])","(profilenamespace getvariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_B',0.08])",1};
            toolTip = "Toggle visibility of widget";
        };
        
        class CloseDiag : ctrlActiveText
        {
            idc = -1;
            style = ST_PICTURE;
            x = 0.116 * safezoneW;
            y = 0 * safezoneH;
            w = 0.012 * safezoneW;
            h = 0.022 * safezoneH;
            text = "\a3\3DEN\Data\Displays\Display3DEN\search_end_ca.paa";
            color[] = { 1, 1, 1, 1 };
            colorActive[] = {"(profilenamespace getvariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_R',0.77])","(profilenamespace getvariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_G',0.51])","(profilenamespace getvariable ['GUI_BCG_RGB_B',0.08])",1};
            toolTip = "Close Widget";
        };
        
        //RollUp
        class RollUpCtrlGrp: ctrlControlsGroup
        {
            idc = 1002;
            x = 0 * safezoneW;
            y = 0.024 * safezoneH;
            w = 0.128 * safezoneW;
            h = 0.2 * safezoneH;
            
            class Controls : test_panels
            {
                class RollUpBackground : ctrlStatic
                {
                    idc = -1;
                    style = 512;
                    x = 0;
                    y = 0;
                    w = 0.128 * safezoneW;
                    h = 0.2 * safezoneH;
                    ColorBackground[] = { 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1 };
                };
            };
        };
        
    };
};

Now if you run this setup you will see in the configViewer - missionConfigFile >> "testWidget" >> "controls" >> "RollUpCtrlGrp" >> "controls" that all looks fine, yet when you display the dialog only the controls directly defined within Class Controls : test_panels shows. Am I doing something wrong or is this not possible.

 

A little background, the reason I wish to do this is that I have a mod which is a widget for Eden in which the above testWidget is actually a controls group buried deep inside Display3Den, yet I wish multiple addons to be able to access this by adding to a top level base class, test_panels in the example, for ease of use.

Any ideas.

Not too sure but I think it has something to do with the sizing. While trying to add a scrollbar to a structured text ctrl, I had a similar problem.

If the sizes were too close to each other, nothing would show up. This is what the working version looks like, hope it helps.

 

	class RscTextInfo: RscControlsGroup 
{    
	idc = 14;
	x = 0.33255 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
	y = 0.335 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
	w = 0.335 * safezoneW; 
	h = 0.47 * safezoneH;
	sizeEx = 0.02;
	class VScrollbar
	{
		idc = 20;
		color[] = {1,1,1,0.5};
		width = 0.021;
		autoScrollEnabled = 0;
		autoScrollSpeed = 0;
		autoScrollRewind = 0;
		colorActive[] = {1,1,1,1};
		colorDisabled[] = {1,1,1,0.3};
		thumb = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,1)";
		arrowEmpty = "\A3\ui_f\data\GUI\RscCommon\rsccombo\arrow_combo_active_ca.paa";
		arrowFull = "\A3\ui_f\data\GUI\RscCommon\rsccombo\arrow_combo_active_ca.paa";
		border = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(1,1,1,1)";
	};
	class Controls 
	{
		class textScrolltext: RscStructuredText
		{
			idc = 15;
			x = 0;
			y = 0;
			w = 0.325 * safezoneW;
			h = 5;
			size = 0.045;
			text = "";
			colorText[] = {0,0,0,1};
			shadow = 1.25;
			colorBackground[] = {0.667,0.714,0.635,1};
		};
	};
};

I dont think this is the problem Soolie, as everything works fine if defined in the Controls class I just have a problem with the inheritance, but thanks for the input.
