class IGUIBack; 
class RscPicture;

class RscEdit; 
class RscListbox; 
class RscControlsGroup; 
class RscCombo; 
class RscButton; 
class RscStructuredText; 
class RscButtonMenu;

 

Coming back to this: I have tried to include these classes but all i get is an empty screen whenever i try to open a dialog even though the mouse pointer is there. Here is my setup:

 

description.ext: 

#include "defines_A3.hpp"
#include "TEST_HPP.hpp"

defines_A3.hpp: 

class IGUIBack;
class RscPicture;
class RscFrame;
class RscText;
class RscEdit;
class RscListbox;
class RscControlsGroup;
class RscCombo;
class RscButton;
class RscStructuredText;
class RscButtonMenu;

 

TEST_HPP.hpp (just one of many tests, from @MKD3-FHI above):

When I use my own defines it works:

Well why not just use your own defines?

 

The ones you have listed, and the dialog cfg you have shown, both look fine. If it is working with both those, don't bother trying to use those defines that MKD3-FHI showed.

Im gonna guess its because youre doing it in description.ext and there is two totally different definitions, mine which are from an addon and use BIS classes, and yours, which redefine everything.

It probably boils down to a description.ext UI requiring definition.

As @MKD3-FHI says..

Using defines like... 

class IGUIBack; 
class RscPicture; 
class RscFrame; 
class RscText; 
class RscEdit; 
class RscListbox; 
class RscControlsGroup; 
class RscCombo; 
class RscButton; 
class RscStructuredText; 
class RscButtonMenu;

Only works if you are creating your GUI as part of an addon. It tells the engine that you want to use the classes as shown by including them from their defines already available within the Arma3 config.

With missions, particularly the description.ext, you cannot import already defined classes from the Arma3 config. For it to work you need to redefine the classes in full, as per your define.hpp example. These defines can be exported from Arma by calling BIS_fnc_exportGuiBaseClasses from the debugConsole, which will copy them to the clipboard for you to paste into a file of your choosing (defines.hpp).

Within these exported defines you will find two types of GUI base classes Rsc and Ctrl for example RscButton and CtrlButton, the first(Rsc) are the general base class defines and the second(Ctrl) are an new set of defines, available since Eden was introduced, which are setup visually to compliment the look of Eden.

Thanks for the explanation. I have dealt with dialogs before but it always annoyed me that they weren't looking like the rest of the game. It's just a question about asthetics and continuity. But thanks to @Larrow and the BIS_fnc_exportGuiBaseClasses my dialog looks way more like the game now. Only one thing I noticed is that the IGUIBack class is not included even though the ingame GUI Editor offers this control...

Thanks to all of you again!
