GUI Documentation

by Vern Jensen · in Torque Game Builder · 08/28/2006 (3:17 pm) · 2 replies

I tried writing code to do a simple message dialog box the other day -- the first time I had used any of the GUI stuff -- and was surprised to find so little documentation for the GUI stuff. I found a brief tutorial that was really a "getting started" tutorial online that walks you through creating a button that brings up a simple dialog, but that's it.

It doesn't answer LOTS of my questions, such as:
- What is the Variable field for?
- How do you keep your dialog box from being resized?
- How do you change the font/size of the text in a text object?
- In the drop-down menu in the GUI builder for GUI objects, what is the purpose of each object?

and much much more....

Please write some documentation for GUIs.

A very good suggestion and I assure you that we are working on it (along with the many other things we always keep busy on =0)... Thanks for the suggestion though :)
