help with dpanel

[xESWxDEATH]

How would i make it so that if my dpanel is open from hitting F1 i cant open more of that dpanel with F1?

[Jewno]

So you're asking how can you close it if it is already opened by hitting F1 again?

no just simply disallowing the panel to be opened again until i close the panel thats open already

[Jewno]

Can you post the code please? It technically shouldn't be created multiple times if you press it again.

Keep a reference to your panel and only create it once.

[lua]
--MyPanel is defined as local here so the functions below can keep track of it
local MyPanel = nil

local function MakePanel()
--Make your panel
MyPanel = vgui.Create( ....yourstuff.... )
end

local function ShowPanel()
--Check if the panel exists, if it doesn't then we will make it
if not IsValid(MyPanel) then
MakePanel()
end
--Make it show (if it's already showing, this won't do anything bad)
MyPanel:MakePopup()
end

--concommand or whatever you use to open it
concommand.Add("showmypanel", ShowPanel)[/lua]
