DragDropGui Control

#21 I don't know if anyone still looks at this resource, which is sad because it is quite nice, but... I have a problem.

I'm using it with my Inventory system but if I go into a game, move some objects around in the inventory, leave the game, and rejoin... my Inventory will stay in the same spot I moved it to previously. Has anyone had this problem? Is it somewhere in my script or is that just how the C++ end of the resource was programmed?

Edit: Same with dying and respawning, your starting inventory will be where you had it before dying.

#22 Has anyone managed to get this to work in TSE?

#23 I'm in troubles ;)
I'm trying to adapt it with our requirements.... all is fine except one thing..

we have (in three places) the comparing of:
this->getDropBorderSearch() == DDBCtrl->getDropBorderType()
or
searchString == DDBCtrl->getDropBorderType()

I want to make ability to set like:
.dropBorderSearch = "weapon tools";
.dropBorderType = "armor coat";
and to use something like getWord in comparing..
So, on different DD's I can set multiple values ... got idea?

I was trying to use this:

bool ddBorderOk =false;
                  U32 sCount = getUnitCount(searchString, " ");
                  U32 tCount = getUnitCount(DDBCtrl->getDropBorderType(), " ");
                  U32 sInc=0;
                  U32 tInc=0;
                  while ( sInc<sCount && !ddBorderOk )
                  {
                     while ( tInc<tCount && !ddBorderOk )
                     {
                        if (getUnit(searchString, sInc, " ") == getUnit(DDBCtrl->getDropBorderType(), tInc, " "))
                        {
                           ddBorderOk = true;
                        }
                        tInc++;
                     }
                     sInc++;
                  }

The getUnitCount and getUnit I took from consoleFunctions.cc
While getUnitCount works perfectly, getUnit comparision gives some
strange stuff, as it always true, even if I comparing
.dropBorderType = "asd dsa";
and
.dropBorderSearch = "aaa sss";

I'm not that good in c++ so... anyone?
or maybe there is another working function like getWord but in c++?

#24 Hm has anyone used this with ver 1.4?

edit: Well, it seems to work, other than a bunch of the gui files have been moved around.

#25 Has anyone successfully ported this over to TSE yet?

For TSE (0_4_5_0) Download code here :

Bye

#27 Does anyone have the updated link to the code? The above link seems to send me back in circles with no code example?

#28 Try this tork.beffy.de/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=27&func=fileinfo&id=1
I've updated the link above, too :)

#29 TSE Build can be gotten here:

#30 Hi

I am new to torque.

I am using Beffy resources.i compiled the engine successfully.

i am very thankful to Beffy.this resources is working nicely for me.

But i have some problems.i want to drop items on ground from DragDrop inventory.

but i am not knowing the proper functions and .cs file to be modified.

if possible could any body help me.

i am thanking in advance.

#31 Anyone tried this with 1.5? It seems like guiDragDropButtonCtrl.cc is calling things from GuiControl that aren't there.

#32 @Chris

There are C++ changes in the readme, the only difference between the readme and the current build of TGB is that the changes in the guiCanvas.cc should be in TGBs guiMenuBar.cc.

#33 Super ressource - thanks Beffy

Great starting point for our "pimp my vehicle" gui with upgradable object slots

With very few tweaks it just worked in 1.5

#34 1.5.1 seems to have killed this resource for me. I'm working on debugging it.

I get errors like:
error C2039: 'mDragDropArraySize' : is not a member of 'GuiControl'
and
error C2039: 'DragDropArray' : is not a member of 'GuiControl'

Does anyone know how DragDropArray should be implemented into GuiControl to make this work?

#35 Has anyone been able to fix Stephen's problem yet? I'm having the same issue. ^^^^

#36 I'm not sure about the problems that Stephan and Andy are having, however I have just patched this into the TGE 1.5.1 release.
Had to modify some paths in the .h and .cc files, and choose the appropriate place to put the "guiDragDropButtonCtrl.*" files.

For anyone attempting this, just take note of the new folder structure for the engine/gui folders.
You will need to modify the path in guiDragDropButtonCtrl.h, near the top. (Note: I placed the files into the engine/gui/controls/ folder)

From:

#ifndef _GUIMOUSEEVENTCTRL_H_
#include "gui/guiMouseEventCtrl.h"
#endif

To:

#ifndef _GUIMOUSEEVENTCTRL_H_
#include "gui/controls/guiMouseEventCtrl.h"
#endif

and in the guiDragDropButtonCtlr.cc file
From:

#include "gui/guiCanvas.h"           
#include "gui/guiDragDropButtonCtrl.h"

To:

#include "gui/core/guiCanvas.h"           
#include "gui/controls/guiDragDropButtonCtrl.h"

There may have been a couple of other paths that needed changing, but you should spot where that needs to be done in the readme.txt that comes in the file package.
Lastly there are a couple of references to "guiMenuBar" which needs to be changed to "guiCanvas".

#37 Hi Dennis. I'm trying to use the TSE/TGEA version of this, which isn't working.

#38 Hi all. I got this to work in TGEA but when I open my gui there are no weapons/items. Can someone send me and example of how they set up the DragDropGui.cs file?? Or is it in the .gui file I need to make my mods in?? Thnks

#39 There are a bunch of changes for guiControl that go with the resource that aren't in the downloads. Can someone post an update please?

#40 if you're getting the errors like
error C2039: 'mDragDropArraySize' : is not a member of 'GuiControl'
it's probably because you didn't edit guicontrol.h and cc

the readme file in the download tells you what to do.
