ComboBox draw behavior

for 2D graphics usually no, however CMenu can be an exception, because it's drawn on top of other Gui objects, so it can be drawn at last stage.

I've one question left regarding the combobox smile

I want to fill it with a couple of strings, well there's the way you proposed:

Code:

static CChar8 *t[]=

{

   "test",

   "test aj",

   "test ajshdkjas asjdhkqugwjeg jasda vb",

};

...

Gui+=combo.create(Rect_C(0.5f,-0.6,0.3,0.06),t,ELMS(t));

But I want it to fill it by using a std::vector of Str16 like:

Code:

void UICombobox::SetText(const std::vector<EE::Str16> & _value)

{

    EE::Node<EE::CMenuElm> elements;

    for (Int i=0; i < _value.size(); ++i)

    {

        EE::Node<EE::CMenuElm> &node = elements.add();

        node.data.name = _value[i];

        node.data.display_name = _value[i];

    }

    m_pEEControl->setData(elements);

}

This somehow works, but produces a much shorter context menu as with your method. Shorter means, it is scaled down to some unknown degree.
So the Button is within the normal size I designed it but if I click it the context menu pops up but is about 1/3 in size of the button.. don't know how this actually happens. Any idea?

Does setData(...) make a deep copy of the data or do I have to keep the strings i add within my own structure?

Thanks in advance!

please try setting TextDS settings before calling setData

for setData with Node<CMenuElm> I think it copies the data to helper memory (but not sure)

Thanks Esenthel, but it does not have any impact on setting TextDS bevor setData().. unfortunatly wink

Maybe it has something to to with the way i setup the EE::Node<EE::CMenuElm> ?
