GuiBitmapButtonTextCtrl problems

by John Vanderbeck · in Torque Game Engine · 05/11/2004 (7:03 pm) · 10 replies

Has anyone used this control? I needed a way to take a BitmapButton and place arbitrary text on it for dynamic controls. I started to do my own then ran into this very small bit of code for a new control that does this. The code is in guiBitmapButtonCtrl.cc/.h but it doesn't seem to work. If I try to use that control I just get an error about not being able to cretae an instance of a non-conobject. Weird part is the code loooks fine.

Maybe i'm just tired and missing something but I don't know why this control doesn't work. I would rather get this workign than create my own since this is already here.

Yeah, I use this control a lot in our GUI. I'll start with the obvious. Isn't the control named "GuiBitmapButtonCtrl" and not "GuiBitmapButtonTextCtrl?" Or are we talking about two different controls?

GuiBitmapButtonCtrl is for doing buttons with bitmaps, I don't think it adds text over them too. And it does work, I've used it.

GuiBitmapButtonTextXtrl is a control based on GuiBitmapButtonCtrl. I'm not that stupid :p Guess i'll figure it out on my own.

Search both Resources & Forums for this, no hits.

Haven't heard of it either.

Yeah same here :( If you look in the GuBitmapButtonCtrl files, at the bottom you will see what i'm talking about.

Ok after a good nights rest and a fresh pair of eyes I found the problem. While the class exists in the default Torque and is properly defined and implemented, there was one missing piece. In guiCanvas.cc a IMPLEMENT_CONOBJECT() was missing.

IMPLEMENT_CONOBJECT(GuiBitmapButtonCtrl);

This has still not been added into the head, thanks for the heads up on this John.

Ben

John also made another change you may wish to consider. It's working for me.
