Problems with aligning text in a GUI

[DetCalver]

I'm making a small GUI to display info about a player and the server, for sandbox. I made a small Derma panel and linked it up with some File.Write to make savable settings for the GUI (for example: Remove X from the GUI but keep Y). Here is my current progress with the GUI: [url]http://i.imgur.com/MUO4qnc.png[/url]

I would like to make it so that, for example, if I disabled the "Total propcount" part via my clientside Derma panel, everything BELOW it would slide up X in the Y direction. I've tried for hours on end and had no luck, every idea I've had becomes far too complicated, perfect example:

if CSettings[1] == 1 then
	if MyPropCount ~= nil then
		draw.SimpleText("Your propcount: "..MyPropCount,"HUDFont", ScrW()/75, (0 + ScrH()/15) , Color(255,255,255), TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT, TEXT_ALIGN_TOP) 
	end
		elseif MyPropCount == nil then
			draw.SimpleText("Your propcount: Loading...", "HUDFont", ScrW()/75, (0 + ScrH()/15) , Color(255,255,255), TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT, TEXT_ALIGN_TOP)-- Your propcount disabled
		end

	if CSettings[2] == 1 then 
		if CSettings[3] == 1 or CSettings[5] == 1 then 
			RemoveY = (CSettings[4]-1)*RemoveOneY
				if CSettings[3] == 1 and CSettings[5] == 1 then
					RemoveY = (CSettings[4]-2)*RemoveOneY
				end
						else 
							RemoveY = CSettings[4]*RemoveOneY
		end
				draw.SimpleText("Total propcount: "..CGUI_TotalPropCount,"HUDFont", ScrW()/75, ((0 + ScrH()/20)+RemoveY), Color(255,255,255), TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT, TEXT_ALIGN_TOP) 
	end
	
	if CSettings[3] == 1 then 
		draw.SimpleText("Test","HUDFont", ScrW()/75, ((0 + ScrH()/20)+(CSettings[4]*RemoveOneY)), Color(255,255,255), TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT, TEXT_ALIGN_TOP) 
	end

So does anybody have any ideas to make the text move up automatically when a value is disabled - only the text below it, obviously.

You'd draw the text and increment Y each time a line gets drawn if its disabled don't increment. That way the text will auto adjust.

Sorry not good at doing code on the fly off the top of my head but thats how you'd do it.

Create a table that stores those values. Then, use a DIconLayout. For each entry of the table, add to it and set it equal to the name and such.

[lua]function GM:CreateMainMenu()

local gw_menu_close = vgui.Create("DFrame")

gw_menu_close.OnMousePressed = function()
gw_menu_close:Close()
end

local gw_menu = vgui.Create("DFrame", gw_menu_close)

This is what I use for my main menu in Garry's Warehouse.

Thank you! I fixed it in a similar way to your main menu:

local Elements = {}
local Loading = "Loading..."

if CSettings[1] == 1 then
	Elements["TotalProps"] = {"Total propcount: ",CGUI_TotalPropCount}
end

if CSettings[2] == 1 and MyPropCount ~= nil then 
	Elements["YourProps"] = {"My propcount: ",MyPropCount}
		elseif CSettings[2] == 1 then
			Elements["YourProps"] = {"My propcount: ",Loading}
end

if CSettings[3] == 1 and MyPropCount ~= nil then 
	Elements["TestOne"] = {"TestOne ",MyPropCount}
end

function Draws(Str,Height)

	local Height = (Height * ScrH()/AspectSpacer)
	draw.SimpleText(Str,"HUDFont", ScrW()/75, (Height + ScrH()/OptionYPos) , Color(255,255,255), TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT, TEXT_ALIGN_TOP)
	
end

local Order = 1

for k,v in pairs(Elements) do

	Draws(v[1]..v[2],Order)
	Order = Order + 1
	
end

end
