Widgets

Common Attributes and Children

Many widgets have specific attributes, however, they all share a set of the common attributes.

Besides, all widgets can have the following children.

tooltip

Sets a tooltip text for the widget.

Attributes:

  • translate
    • 0 or no
      The tooltip should always have the same text.
    • 1 or yes
      The tooltip text should be translated according to the selected language.
For example:
Source code (XML)
<button>
	<tooltip>Button <br/>to press</tooltip>
	<text size="20">Press</text>
</button>
For the tooltip tag rich text formatting is always enabled.

attach

Attaches the widget to another one.

  • When applied to several checkbox widgets, converts them into a group of radio buttons.
  • A hslider / vslider can be attached to a label or an editline.
  • A spinbox can be attached to theeditline.
  • The editline can be attached to the hslider /vslider and spinbox.

Attributes:

  • format
    This attribute takes a format string.
  • multiplier
    A multiplier used to downscale values provided by the attached widget (integer).
  • flags
    • log10
      Logarithmic slider.
    • expand
      Indicates whether the minimum or maximum value of the attached widget can be changed by writing a lower or greater value respectively into the associated editline.
    • min_expand
      Indicates whether the minimum value of the attached widget can be lowered by writing a lower value into the associated editline.
    • max_expand
      Indicates whether the maximum value of the attached widget can be raised by writing a greater value into the associated editline.

For example, the maximum value of the following horizontal slider can be changed by writing the greater value into the editline:

Source code (XML)
<editline name="editline"/>
<hslider min="0" max="3000">
	<attach multiplier="1000" flags="log10,max_expand">editline</attach>
</hslider>

callback

Sets a callback for the widget. Contains a name of the callback function.

Attributes:

  • type
  • widget
    The widget attribute sets a widget reference to be passed as an argument to the callback function. Any existing widget name is allowed.
  • string
    The string attribute sets a string argument for the callback function. Any valid string is acceptable. This attribute can also be used to pass any other data types.
  • variable
    The variable attribute sets an argument of any variable type for the callback function. You can also pass vectors and maps.
  • accel_key
    The accel_key attribute sets a hotkey for a given callback. For example, to run the user-defined esc_clicked() callback by pressing the ESC button, use the following:
    Source code (XML)
    <button>
    	<callback type="clicked" accel_key="esc">esc_clicked</callback>
    </button>
    The following keys can be set as the hotkey:

</window>
Then create the corresponding objects for each widget and describe the required geometry in the script:
Source code (UnigineScript)
class Test {

	WidgetWindow window;
	WidgetCanvas canvas;
	
	Test() {
		ui = new UserInterface(engine.getGui(),"canvas.ui");	
	}
	
	int show(int x,int y)() {
		Gui gui = engine.getGui();
		
		// add the window widget and its children to the GUI
		gui.addChild(window,GUI_ALIGN_CENTER);
		window.setPosition(x,y);
		
		// draw polygons
		int id = canvas.addPolygon();
		canvas.setPolygonColor(id,vec4(0.8f,0.4f,0.0f,1.0f));
		canvas.setPolygonTransform(id,translate(130.0f,64.0f,0.0f));
		forloop(int i = 0; 7) {

Source code (XML)
<editline name="Test::editline" export="1" width="100" capacity="10">
	<text>EditLine</text>
</editline>

The following example shows possible ways of using the editline widget:

Source code (XML)
<hbox align="expand">
	<editline align="expand" validator="int"/>

	</button>
</hbox>
<hbox align="expand">
	<editline align="expand" validator="any" background="0" color="#3300CC"/>
	<button width="30">
		<text>Button1</text>
	</button>
</hbox>
The first editline allows user to input the integer values only. The other symbols are not allowed to be typed. The text in the second editline is displayed as dots, because the password attribute is set to 1. The last editline has no background, and the text color is defined directly in the editline tag by using the color attribute.

If there is no the text child, all of the text attributes can be defined as attributes of edittext.

Source code (XML)
<edittext name="Test::edittext" export="1" width="100" height="100">
	<text>EditLine
	Multiline</text>
</edittext>

The edittext widget can be used, for example, to input some source code:

Source code (XML)
<hbox align="expand">
	<label align="left,top">Source:</label>
	<edittext name="Test::edittext" export="1" align="expand"/>
</hbox>
The result is the following:

If the text scrolling is required, define the edittext widget inside the scrollbox container:

	<attach format=" %.1f" multiplier="1000">hslider_label</attach>
</hslider>
<label name="hslider_label" width="28"/>

It is possible to combine several horizontal sliders by using one of the containers. For example:

Source code (XML)
<hbox space_x="10">
	<vbox space_y="20">
