Combobox clippedbyparent

[daesdemon]

Hi mates,

I am sorry but i don't understand how the Combobox is meant to work.

When i put it in a frame window, i set it clipped by parent false like the layout example i get.
When i double click on the framewindow title, it disappears.

But when i put the Combobox in a DefaultGuiSheet window, set clippedByParent to false, and put this parent window in a FrameWindow, when i doubleclick on the title, the combobox keep its place (not hidden).

Sorry for my poor English.

I am not sure what i say, because, i used simple layouts before , and i am now building dynamically the interface so there is many changes.

I know that Eddie will rebuild the combobox, perhaps, only the droplist should be set to not ClippedParent, if i understand something about how it work.

Eddie will probably never do that as he just said he quits cegui's developpement.
You should have missed the news on this page :

I simply hope the community will continue supporting this great project.

Yes, it's very unlikely that I'll be implementing a new Combobox for the forseeable future

I'll post something futher on the news page shortly...

I do truly believe that CEGUI will survive, and will go on to bigger and better things. This is not the beginning of the end, it's just the end of the beginning

CE.

Confident on that Eddie

For my Clip Problem:
i resolve the clippedByParent Problem by setting the droplist clippedbyparent propertie to false instead of the complete Combobox one.

Code is:

Code: Select all

mCombobox = (Combobox*)WindowManager::getSingletonPtr()->createWindow("WindowsLook/Combobox", name);
mCombobox->getChild(name+"__auto_droplist__")->setClippedByParent(false);


Like this, no more Combobox anywhere on the screen

Perhaps should it be a good idea, to put that in default properties of the droplist.
I am not familiar with the CEGUI code, but when i'll have some spare time, i will have a look on the Combobox Constructor.

See you later M8, time for me to go to sleep.
