For the tooltip tag rich text formatting is always enabled.

attach

Attaches the widget to another one.

Parameters:

  • format
    This parameter takes a format string.
  • multiplier
    An integer value.
  • flags
    • log10
      Logarithmic slider.
    • expand
      The value can be expanded by writing a lower or greater value into the associated editline.
    • min_expand
      The value can be expanded by writing a lower value into the associated editline.
    • max_expand
      The value can be expanded by writing greater value into the associated 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.

Parameters:

  • type
  • widget
    The widget parameter sets a widget reference to be passed as an argument to the callback function. Any existing widget name is allowed.

    The string parameter sets a string argument for the callback function. Any valid string is acceptable. This parameter can also be used to pass any other data types.
  • variable
    The variable parameter sets an argument of any variable type for the callback function. You can also pass vectors and maps.
  • accel_key
    The accel_key parameter 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:

canvas

Corresponds to an object of the WidgetCanvas class.

canvas widget with polygons

After a canvas widget was created, it can be used to draw polygons (either textured or not), lines and text in the script. The canvas can be used to create different trackers, charts, tables, etc.

Parameters:

</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 = engine.gui.addUserInterface(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) {
			float angle = PI2 * i / 6;
			canvas.addPolygonPoint(id,vec3(sin(angle),cos(angle),0.0f) * 64.0f);
		}

			canvas.addLinePoint(id,vec3(sin(angle),cos(angle),0.0f) * 48.0f);
		}
	}
}

int init(){
	Window window_0 = new Window();
	window_0.show(150,150);
	
	return 1;
}
				
The described canvas is shown as follows:

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 width="30">
		<text>Button1</text>
	</button>
</hbox>
<hbox align="expand">
	<editline align="expand" password="1"/>
	<button width="30">
		<text>Button2</text>
	</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 parameter 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 parameter.

Children:

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

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

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:

Source code (XML)
<scrollbox name="Test::scrollbox" align="expand">

	<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">
		<hslider name="Test::hslider_1" export="1" min="0" max="10" value="0" width="100" button_width="30">

		<label><text>Label 1</text></label>
		<label><text>Label 2</text></label>
		<label><text>Label 3</text></label>
	</gridbox>
	<hspacer width="50"/>
	<gridbox name="Test::gridbox_2" space="10">
