NotifyParent()

[Nielk1]

All of us CFG editors know this:
NotifyParent("Button::Press", "Quit");

Where when the event 'Press" as described by the 'Button' class occurs (this would be a button BTW), it sends the "Quit" message to the parent.

What other Class::Event combinations are there? I want to make it so mouseovering notifies the parent to change a text variable to display in a label. In short, you mouse over buttons and 1 spot tells you what they are.

EDIT:
NotifyParent("Button::Select", "Options");
works if the
Style();
includes
"RADIO"

wasnt all that cfg stuff changed in pb4??

and i was just starting to learn it too

[Nielk1]

No, it was just expanded to make use of some new features. Most old code still works in it, except for the ammo/hull guages, those are a bit off in old CFGs (cause of the missing ammo and hull color groups).

CFG things werent changed in pb4, only abilities added to change health and ammo bars to whatever u bloody want

Also, Yes radio only works wiht button:Select

I havn't experimented with other types, but perhaps rollover style and Button:Rollover? I doubt it'd work though.

[bigbadbogie]

which cfg do i need to edit to change hull and ammo??

is it bzgame_command or bzgame_weapon??

[General BlackDragon]

bzgame weapon from pb4.

[bigbadbogie]

All that one seems to do is change the numbers - how can I change the actual gauge??

[Nielk1]

Something about creating a gauge with a certain name will make the normal one not show. H/O, lemme get my 2 interface tests.

EDIT:
Images link to 7z files.

thankyou - that will definitely help

[GSH]

Checking the source code, here's the ones that can be generated within code.

NotifyParent("Button::Deselect");
NotifyParent("Button::Press");
NotifyParent("Button::Select");
NotifyParent("Control::Activate");
NotifyParent("Control::Deactivate");
NotifyParent("Control::FinishFadeIn");
NotifyParent("Control::FinishFadeOut");
NotifyParent("Control::NextTab");
NotifyParent("Control::PrevTab");
NotifyParent("Control::StartFadeIn");
NotifyParent("Control::StartFadeOut");
NotifyParent("Edit::Enter");
NotifyParent("ListBox::DblClick");
NotifyParent("ListBox::SelChange");
NotifyParent("Timer::TimeOut");

Not all of these may be executed for every control. Use at your own risk.

ooooo

Request more info on, Timer

[GSH]

Scan the stock .cfg files. If it's not found in there, then it's never been tested in 8+ years. And therefore, probably quite buggy.

Nathan's rule of code: if it's not actively tested, it's probably buggy.

Like when I put a texture on the guage used for unit builds and it died at a certain %

[bigbadbogie]

guage

Phew - I thought that I was the only one who spells it like that...

[General BlackDragon]

Gauge!
