[solved] two [grid] tags

[ZombieKnight]

Thanks, I couldn't find the .on_modified. I'll report back after lunch...
Any idea how to resize/make the text_box transparent?
I haven't found any mainline uses of that.

Jup

Code: Select all

dialog.test_text.on_modified=function()
   if dialog.test_text.text == " " then dialog:close() end
   dialog.test_text.text =""
end

works
...
Any idea why:
'dialog.test_text.on_left_click = function() dialog:close() end'
Doesn't work and break the white_haired_uncle's code?

[ZombieKnight]

For the resize and making it invisible...
What is that?

Thanks!
Oh dumb me, this works "dialog.test_text:focus()"

Yes – either that or "gui.widget.focus(dialog.test_text)".

I use

Code: Select all

dialog:set_canvas(1, { } )

To hide the label background...Any idea how to hide text_box background?

Just to clarify, that doesn't hide it. It deletes it. There's no difference though as long as you don't want it back later.

Oh, good to know!
How to delete any image of text_box?

[white_haired_uncle]

Here is an invisible text box that will capture keyboard input:

Code: Select all

local T = wml.tag
local chat = wesnoth.interface.add_chat_message
local sf = string.format

function wesnoth.wml_actions.stacked_widget_gui()
        local dialogDefinition = {
                wml.tag.tooltip { id = "tooltip_large" },
                wml.tag.helptip { id = "helptip_large" },
                wml.tag.grid {  wml.tag.row { wml.tag.column {
                        wml.tag.stacked_widget {
                                id = "stacker",
                                definition = "default",
                                T.layer {
                                        T.row { T.column { T.label { id="my_label1",label = "Hello world" } } }
                                },
                                T.layer {
                                        T.row { T.column { T.text_box { id="my_tb" } } }
                                }
                        }
                } } },
        }

        local function preshow(dialog)
--              wesnoth.print_attributes(dialog.stacker)
        --      gui.show_lua_console()
        --
                dialog.stacker.my_label1.visible = true
                dialog.stacker.my_tb.visible = false
                dialog.my_tb:focus()
                dialog.my_tb.on_modified = function()
                        chat(sf("Text box contains %s",tostring(dialog.my_tb.text)))
        --              dialog.my_tb.on_left_click = function()
        --                      dialog:close()
        --              end
                --dialog.stacker.visible = false
                end
        end
        gui.show_dialog(dialogDefinition,preshow)
end

When I add the on_left_click I can close the gui with a left click, but it also closes if I type more than one key. If all you're really trying to do is make it really easy to close the gui (which you also can't otherwise interact with), I think that would work for you. But I think it might be a bug, as I don't think pressing the letter 'o' (for example) should be handled by on_left_click.

I should test this to see if it is something odd about on_left_click, or (more likely?) an issue with having both callbacks active.

[ZombieKnight]

So I just need to set it to visible = false.
Thanks!

Aaand any idea why my on_left_click isn't working?

[white_haired_uncle]

I just edited my previous message, adding in on_left_click

Well, I was wrong. I added click_dismiss = true at the top level (next to tooltip/helptip), and that was what was actually causing the left click to close the gui.

It looks like if you set on_left_click on a text_box, it will be called on keyboard input, but NOT from a mouse click (even with no on_modified callback). It I'm right, that's just weird.

Okay, try this. You can use either left click or space bar to close the gui, and the input is invisible:

Code: Select all

function wesnoth.wml_actions.stacked_widget_gui()
        local dialogDefinition = {
                wml.tag.tooltip { id = "tooltip_large" },
                wml.tag.helptip { id = "helptip_large" },
                click_dismiss = true,
                wml.tag.grid {  wml.tag.row { wml.tag.column {
                        wml.tag.stacked_widget {
                                id = "stacker",
                                definition = "default",
                                T.layer {
                                        T.row { T.column { T.label { id="my_label1",label = "Hello world" } } }
                                },
                                T.layer {
                                        T.row { T.column { T.text_box { id="my_tb" } } }
                                }
                        }
                } } },
        }

        local function preshow(dialog)
                dialog.stacker.my_label1.visible = true
                dialog.stacker.my_tb.visible = false
                dialog.my_tb:focus()
                dialog.my_tb.on_modified = function() 
                        if dialog.my_tb.text == " " then dialog:close() end
                        chat(sf("Text box contains %s",tostring(dialog.my_tb.text)))
                end
        end
        gui.show_dialog(dialogDefinition,preshow)
end

That does not match what previously described use case was. You code that after something has been entered, start listening for mouse event. But mouse event callback just does not work anyways https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/8815

[ZombieKnight]

I had no idea I could put click_dismiss there.

Thanks!
Now I have a working, fully message-like-closing custom_message([narration])

Your latest version does not need callbacks at all. Can be simplified to

Code: Select all

# lua wesnoth.require("wml-utils").handle_event_commands(wml.load("~add-ons/EventLoader/action.cfg"))
[lua]
	code=<<
local T = wml.tag
local chat = wesnoth.interface.add_chat_message
local sf = string.format

function wesnoth.wml_actions.stacked_widget_gui()
        local dialogDefinition = {
                wml.tag.tooltip { id = "tooltip_large" },
                wml.tag.helptip { id = "helptip_large" },
                click_dismiss = true,
                wml.tag.grid {  wml.tag.row { wml.tag.column {
                        wml.tag.stacked_widget {
                                id = "stacker",
                                definition = "default",
                                T.layer {
                                        T.row { T.column { T.label { id="my_label1",label = "Hello world" } } }
                                }
                        }
                } } },
        }

        local function preshow(dialog)
        end
        gui.show_dialog(dialogDefinition,preshow)
end

Wait...
All the time all I needed was click_dismiss???

[ZombieKnight]

Got some usefull xp on the way...
But still...
Good to know, thanks!

"~add-ons/EventLoader/action.cfg" ?

[ZombieKnight]

That's what?
