void addAttach (Widget widget, string format = 0, int multiplier = 1, int flags = 0)

Attaches a given widget to the current one. When applied to checkboxes, converts them into a group of radio buttons. A horizontal/vertical slider can be attached to a label or a text field. The text field can be attached to any of the sliders.

Arguments

  • Widget widget - Widget to attach.
  • string format - Format string for values entered into the attached widget. If none specified, "%d" is implied. This is an optional parameter.
  • int multiplier - Multiplier used to scale values provided by the attached widget. This is an optional parameter.
  • int flags - One of the GUI_ATTACH_* pre-defined variables. This is an optional parameter.

void addChild (Widget widget, int flags = 0)

Adds a child widget.

Arguments

  • Widget widget - Child widget.
  • int flags - One of the GUI_ALIGN_* pre-defined variables. This is an optional parameter.

void arrange ()

Rearranges the widget and its children to lay them out neatly. This function forces to recalculate widget size and allows to get updated GUI layout data in the current frame. If this function is not called, widget modifications made in the current update() will be available only in the next frame (i.e. with one-frame lag), as GUI is calculated and rendered after the script update() function has been executed.

  • GUI_ALIGN_BOTTOM = 1 << 4
  • GUI_ALIGN_EXPAND = 1 << 5
  • GUI_ALIGN_OVERLAP = 1 << 6
  • GUI_ALIGN_BACKGROUND = 1 << 7
