How do you get script created markers to show in dialog map control

[cb65 85]

Hi everyone,

 

I don't know how to get script created markers to show up in my dialog's map control other then using "onMapSingleClick".

 

When I create a marker by script it shows up in the in-game map but when I open my dialog the marker does not show up in the dialog map control.

 

Can anyone help me out ?

 

I've searched the internet for any post about this but couldn't find anything.

 

Cheers.

Depending on what is your dialog's map control. Some inheritance with RscMapControl ? Usually it works.

@pierremgi thanks mate, I check the map control settings and found that show markers was set to no. Plus I had a script error causing the problem.

 

Works fine now.

 

Cheers.

Custom dialog using RscMapControl does show markers but not ones created with drawIcon command. For that you need to do something like:

if (!isNil "customMapEH") then
{
	(findDisplay IDD displayCtrl IDC) ctrlRemoveEventHandler ["Draw", customMapEH];
} else
{
	customMapEH = (findDisplay IDD displayCtrl IDC) ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw", client_fnc_playerMarkers];
};

Slightly modified version from my keyDownHandler function. You probably won't need the !isNil check with custom map dialog as you can just terminate it when dialog closes. onUnload or whatever...
