How do you load a gui into the GUI builder?

#1 Confusing is a relative term ;) It will help people to help you here if you can explain what is confusing you.

You can load and show a gui by calling

exec( "yourguifilename" ); //yourguifilename is the name of your gui file
Canvas.push( guiname );    //guiname is the name of your gui

#2 To enter Gui builder
- F10

To exit Gui builder
- Choose "LevelBuilderBase" Gui from the drop down list (top-middle)
- click F10

To save You Menu/Gui
- File > Save
P.S. Notice that you MUST becareful so that not save your Gui into other project since the dialog menu sometimes loaded up two proj, and i saved to the wrong project and end up with cant find my .gui file :p

Things to do before fire up your tgb.exe
- open main.cs
- exec(~/gui/yourgui.gui);
- then only you open tgb.exe

#3 Here is something I added to my GUI editor code to drop back to the level editor quickly after using the GUI editor.

in TorqueGameBuilderPro\games\tools\guiEditor\gui\guiEditor.ed.cs
line 122, inside function GuiEditorOpen

GuiEditorMenuBar.addMenuItem("File", "Exit To Level Editor", 5);                         
   GuiEditorMenuBar.scriptCommand["File", 5] = "toggleLevelEditor();toggleLevelEditor();";

#4 Thanks, didn't realize you had to exec the gui to be able to load it.

Justs little annoyances but it would be nice to have a save instead of always having to save as. Wish ctrl+a worked in the text boxes. Wish there was more feedback when you changed things. Wish that the open gui dropdown box had folders that expanded so it wasn't so cluttered.

#5 It would help us greatly if you posted any suggestions in our Suggestions Forum. We value your opinion and definately appreciate feedback :)

#8 What can I say? I'm a programmer writer by day. It's in my nature to document everything I do. :)
