Hiding all gui controls

[vigilant_death2]

Is there a way to hide every gui control at once?
I am making a replica of the offline tile editor and want it to go into a similar mode when the player presses F4 so i will need to hide all of them o_O

something like

PHP Code:

for ( temp.n : GraalControl.controls )
{
  temp.n.hide();
} 


may work.

Lol I guess I can do GraalControl.hide() but was hoping for a better method ^_^

Like I said, go through all of GraalControl's controls, and hide them individually.

Ah yes I see what you meant now makes more sense :P ty

Just so you know, GUIContainer is the top-level control, not GraalControl. You probably don't want to hide stuff outside of GraalControl though.

GraalControl.hide() would be more efficient and most likely better.

I would tend to agree ... wasn't sure if it was locked or anything so I didn't suggest it.

Problem would be if you go back to show everything, then things which where hidden appear. I guess you could have an array ... but ehh ... easier to use GraalControl.hide();

I don't think this is an issue seeing all controls inherit their own 'visible' property.

Yes, I'm saying that if you hid each individually, you may have problems when it comes to reshowing them

Which is exactly why you use GraalControl.hide();
I've made many GUIs outside of GraalControl for editors and such and I know that GraalControl.hide() is most likely your best bet.

How would you create a new GUI Control outside of GraalControl though?

PHP Code:

object.isexternal = boolean; 


Not yet implemented.

Ehh ... isn't that players[i].external ... meaning if they are IRC or on another server?

You can just do something like this:

PHP Code:

with ( GUIContainer )
{
  new GuiWindowCtrl() // etc
} 


or I believe

PHP Code:

new GuiWindowCtrl( "s" )
{
  
}
GUIContainer.addControl( s );

Exactly. I often do:

PHP Code:

new GuiWindowCtrl("foo") {
  GUIContainer.addControl(this);
}
