GUI *blocking*

[xXziroXx]

How can you make it so GUIs doesnt *block* - meaning that if a GUI is showed you have to click outside of it to be able to move etc.

GraalControl.makefirstresponder() after you create the window works, I think.

Didnt work.. Tried putting it IN "new control blah", tried putting it after - also tried in a timeout.

GraalControl.BringToFront();

I don't remember off hand if you there's a 'focused' variable in the GUI controls.. Otherwise, just make it so that if the GUI window is clicked it brings GraalControl to the front.

I think there's more to the syntax, I was just giving you the function name.
Try: GraalControl.makefirstresponder(true);
or if that doesn't work, NameOfYourWindow.makefirstresponder(false);

ControlName.isfirstresponder(); will tell you if it's focused or not.

Got it to work:

PHP Code:

new GuiWindowCtrl("guiname") {
  // stuff
}
guiname.makefirstresponder(false); 


And Yen, you are wrong with bringtofront()! bringtofront brings a GUI on top of all other GUIs, and vice versa with pushtoback().

Hence the reason he suggested to use bringtofront() with the GraalControl.

O_o
I use 'pushtoback()' to take focus off my GUIs when I create them..

You can also do:

PHP Code:

function OBJ.onMouseDown()  GraalControl.showtop(); 


or also (to make it universal) could put this in the GUI creation:

PHP Code:

obj = new GuiWindowCtrl("obj");
with (obj){
  //stuff
  thiso.catchevent(this,"onMouseDown","onFocusOut");
}
function onFocusOut(){
  GraalControl.showtop();
} 


But if you are resizing the GraalControl for some reason, showtop will mess it up sometimes.. so be careful
