Title: GUI.DragWindow
Post by: Fletch on June 01, 2013, 01:23:47 AM

Is there a way for playmaker to be able to drag a GUI window the way the GUI.DragWindow command works in code?

Did you mean to say they are NOT currently supported?

Hi,

 GUI Window is unlikely to become part of the supported GUI stuff, because of the way it's designed essentially.

 Typically tho, I created a while ago a very powerful XML based GUI description that works with PlayMaker. I never had a chance to finish it and publish it on the wiki, but it's extremely powerful has it provide a persistant way to define gui and enables powerful data and event binding ( all defined in the xml!! :) )

 If you are interested, I can send you what I have for you to have a look.

 Bye,

 Jean

I figured there must have been a good reason, but couldn't quite understand it from looking at gui code examples.

Yeah I'd like to check out the XML stuff if you could post or message it.

Hi,
 
incredible, I haven't touched that project for two years, I update PlayMaker to the latest and it just worked! PlayMaker is n°1!!

 Ok, so this package is REALLY A WORK IN PROGRESS nonetheless, but it will allow you to do very advanced Unity GUI stuff that otherwise would not be possible:

-- persistent GUI
-- Data binding
-- Event binding

and so much more I actually forgot...

The scene if full of tests so it's ugly but be sure you check the xml definition to see what's there and available already.

I also started custom actions like "GuimlCreateLayoutButton" so this is your starting point if you want to create more actions that features Persistant GUI elements. "GuimlCreateLayoutButton" will create a button that will persists even if you leave the state! You'll have then to manually delete it.

I stopped working on this because it's such a beast and Unity kept telling us they would revamp their GUI system, but it seems they don't so maybe I should find time this year to finish it, and it still holds tremendous raw power for artists and developers to create rich GUI very easily.

 Bye,

 Jean
