GUIMenuOption

UT2003 :: Object >> GUI >> GUIComponent >> GUIMultiComponent >> GUIMenuOption (Package: XInterface)

Parent class for combined components that include a caption and a widget.

Properties

string ComponentClassName: Name of the component to spawn. Subclasses of this set a default.
localized string Caption: Caption for the label
string LabelFont: Name of the Font for the label
Color LabelColor: Color for the label
bool bHeightFromComponent: Get the Height of this component from the subcomponent (the thing spawned by ComponentClassName). For example, a moComboBox? will obtain its WinHeight from its embedded GUIComboBox? object's default height. Beware of this property! It is True by default, and that means that setting WinHeight will have NO effect and you'll be tearing your hair to work out why!
float CaptionWidth: How big should the Caption be
float ComponentWidth: How big should the Component be (-1 = 1-CaptionWidth)
bool bFlipped: Draw the Component to the left of the caption
eTextAlign LabelJustification: How do we justify the label: one of TXTA_Left, TXTA_Center, TXTA_Right (defined in GUI).
eTextAlign ComponentJustification: How do we justify the label
bool bSquare: Use the Height for the Width
bool bVerticalLayout: Layout controls vertically

Discussion

Tarquin: these are great, but is there a nice way to set properties for the subwidgets? Eg, I can do this:

  moComboBox.MyComboBox.List.TextAlign=TXTA_Right;

in the InitComponent() of the panel I'm using this in, but not this in default props of the same panel:

  Begin Object class=moComboBox Name=TestComboBox
    WinTop    = 0.4;
    WinLeft   = 0.0;
    WinWidth  = 1.0;
    WinHeight = 0.1;
    CaptionWidth=0.45
    Caption="Combo box"
    MyComboBox.List.TextAlign=TXTA_Left; // chokes!
  End Object
