smitchell they're very good links but apparently not usefull for drawing in edittime.

kiyoshi what do you mean exactly by a GUI system (examples?)

Yes I do, please.

Firstly, I would need to know how to do this.

For this question, I would love to know how to draw either a second rectangle in the same instance, or set two fill color according to x,y.

I don't know if it's possible.

See the jpeg I did, it would be easier to understand what I mean.

<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27157668/construct2/images/comboBox_drawing.jpg" border="0">

Two other things, but at least one answer will be needed if you want. (both questions I was asking to myself for the same problem)

I wonder how to draw a circle, instead a quad.

/or/

how to insert an image file, as a texture I guess, in a drawn quad.

(it could be an image with same dimension than the quad, or e.g an image of 15x15 for a quad of 75x20, it would need to position it after).

Thanks a lot Ashley

Just to be sure, I'm talking about the drawing method directly in edittime, I mean e.g the way of drawing the rectangle with 'ok' inside, of the button plugin in C2.

Anyway, I already did that (look inside plugins code), but I didn't be able to correctly understand yet how this part is structured.

For the moment, I understand how to draw one single rectangle, how to set the fill color, how to add text inside.

Thx Ashley for answering.

Ashley

Hey, because I ve got a plenty of interrogations about how the drawing system works (eg add texture from file to a drawn quad, separate colors in a quad, offset system...) I was wondering where can I find a solid documentation about this. I really dont know where to find as well as which keywords to search....

I already need it for my actual plugins and more yet for the upcommings.

Thx

Thanks Yann, I asked to Ashley and he answered that is unfortunately not supported yet...

Hope it will.

Im actually working on all this kind of plugins, it's on my todo list.

Be patient, it's lot of work

hey thanks ashley, I'll take a look

I ask a new question but directly in this thread instead of open a new one, Kyatric may know answer me.

I would like to create a new array/property directly from the onPropertyChanged().

Is it possible ?

Hey,

Where can I declare in runtime.js, a variable which will be incremented in order to be used for instance creation. I would like to be able to assign an incremented ID to each instance...

Thanks for helping

On reflection, I guess the kyatrics solution is the best.

My plugin already does that the browser plugin is already doing, the only added thing it's a "shortcut", I mean conditions which test "is Iphone Browser ?", "is Firefox Browser ?",... and if it is, it returns "true".

I can release it, but I think you can do that with the kyatrics way.

In the other hand, Smitchell, if you want a plugin which resizes dynamically given the browser used, I think it will take much time to develop it.

hey hey, I did exactly the same plugin, but I gave up cause of some issues of compatibility with browsers.
