Moving GUI controls

by Drew -Gaiiden- Sikora · in Torque Game Builder · 02/28/2006 (6:26 pm) · 2 replies

If I create a new GUI with a window as the base control, any controls I add to the window get placed in the upper-left corner. This makes sense since the window is a container but for some reason I can't click and drag them around. If I select them from the tree the selection box appears but is gray. I can resize them but when I go to click on the control itself the selection box vanishes and I can't click on the control again without for selecting it from the tree. What's going on?

I ran into this as well with the current beta--I suggest manually moving the object off of the starting spot by typing in a new x y value in the position text field.

After that, you should be able to move them about your window itself.
