Hi

How do you make the kind of dialog that goes over all the rest dialogs especially over the eden editor GUI?

 

My dialog has also problem with sendings clicks through the dialog to the editor. Would like to prevent this as well

 

thx for any advice!

See how the buttons and other controls are left below the eden gui: https://imgur.com/a/aGbltJR

 

This is my class file:

Try to add:

controls[] = { yourContrl1, yourCtrl2... };

just before these control classes. This way, you define an order (then a layer) for controls, if I remember. The first one, the deeper? Just try.

Where do I put that? in the config.cpp or .h where my class def is?

Could still use expert help on how to get the editor dialog working? 🙂

I'm using createDialog to show my dialog, is that ok?

not the case that I understand anything of working with dialogs but maybe this code written by @Larrow helps you to get what you need:

@sarogahtyp Thanks but looking at the code I don't know if that approach is significantly different  from what I currently use

As I wrote: just above the control classes, inside the group of controls.

class controls {

    controls[] = { RscControlsGroup_2300, yourCtrl2... };

   class RscControlsGroup_2300: RscControlsGroup {.....};

   class yourCtrl2 {.....};

}

   class yourCtrl2 {.....};

}

 

Ok gotcha now. Well I wrote this but didn't help, they are still behind:

  

class controls 
{
controls[] = { RscControlsGroup_2300, RscButton_1600,RscEdit_1400,RscButton_1601,RscCombo_2100,RscCombo_2101,RscText_1000,RscText_1001,RscButton_1602,RscButton_1603 };

Put this... 

class DisableBackGrnd
{
	idc = -1;

	x = safeZoneXAbs;
	y = safeZoneY;
	w = safeZoneWAbs;
	h = safeZoneH;

	type = 0;
	style = 0;

	colorText[] = {1,1,1,1};
	colorBackground[] = {1,1,1,0.5};
	text = "";
	font = "RobotoCondensedLight";
	sizeEx = "4.32 * (1 / (getResolution select 3)) * pixelGrid * 0.5";
	
};

As the first thing inside your controlsBackground. Shown above as minimum needed to work, or just inherit from ctrlStaticBackgroundDisable and make the element cover the whole screen.

Tried inheriting from ctrlStaticBackgroundDisable as I could not copy & paste your values , it would give some load/parse error. But with ctrlStaticBackgroundDisable it doesn't work. Still not on top

Nice. I think I found the reason my code didn't work, I was using createDialog 

_ok = createDialog "ClassEditorDlg"; // Changed this



findDisplay 313 createDisplay "ClassEditorDlg"; // To this

With that it works
