How to create a detachable UI element that can be moved across multiple monitors?

Hi All,

Happy New Year, here's to everyone making great stuff with C3 for 2024!!

Just wondering if there's a way, either through Event Sheets or JS to create UI elements that can either be fixed or floating, and if floating, can be repositioned across multiple monitors.

I'm looking to make a desktop based asset creation app, so being able to rearrange UI elements across multiple monitors for users is a highly sought after feature in my eyes.

I know how to do resizeable but docked, I'm just not sure how to do floating that can exceed the bounds of the primary window (as floating is pointless imo if you can't move it out of the way of the primary screen.

Thanks in advance,

Brent

I think we are limited to being within the primary window with html5 and js. In theory it might be possible with nwjs or that new windows export since it could be extended to do stuff beyond browser stuff. But the main issue I see is you’d need to handle the rendering, input etc in those windows completely separate from construct since I can’t think of a way to have constructs renderer handle that. Overall I don’t think it’s feasible to do with construct without significant effort and time.
