Some problems with DGrid

[Ricky Servietsky]

Hi,
I'm trying to build a new F4 menu for my server but i have big trouble understanding what i'm doing wrong in my logic.
I'm trying to create the commands menu atm and i decided to use a DGrid to split my container into 4 parts...
local PANEL_COMMANDS = {}

function PANEL_COMMANDS:Init()
  local containerWidth = CONTROLLER.MAIN_FRAME.MiddlePanel.Container:GetWide()
  local containerHeight = CONTROLLER.MAIN_FRAME.MiddlePanel.Container:GetTall()
  self.Paint = function(pnl,w,h) draw.RoundedBox(0,0,0,w,h, Color(0,0,255)) end
  self:SetCols( 4 )
  self:SetColWide( containerWidth / 4 )

  for _, category in ipairs(SETTINGS.Commands) do
    local currentCategory = vgui.Create("DPanel")

    currentCategory:SetWidth(self:GetColWide())
    currentCategory:SetHeight(containerHeight)

    currentCategory.Label = vgui.Create("DLabel", currentCategory)
    currentCategory.Label:SetText(category.categoryName)
    currentCategory.Label:SetFont("MediumTitle")
    currentCategory.Label:SetColor(Color(0,0,0))
    currentCategory.Label:Dock(TOP)
    currentCategory.Label:SetContentAlignment( 5 )
    currentCategory.Label:SizeToContents()
    currentCategory.Label.Paint = function(pnl,w,h) draw.RoundedBox(0,0,0,w,h, Color(255,0,255,125)) end

    for _, cmd in ipairs(category.commands) do
      local currentCmdButton = vgui.Create("DButton", currentCategory)
      currentCmdButton:Dock( TOP )

    end
    currentCategory:InvalidateLayout( true )
    currentCategory:SizeToChildren( true, true )

    self:AddItem( currentCategory )
  end

end

vgui.Register("PANEL_COMMANDS", PANEL_COMMANDS, "DGrid")
Here is the panel code so far, and here is the output, I dont really understand what I'm doing wrong but the DPanel size is not changing at all... Seems to be default size :/ It might be a missunderstanding from me tho. Thanks in advance for any answer ^^'

Try moving everything inside a new function, inside your paint function check if your panel has not been initialized, call that function and then mark it as "Initialized"
I feel that your issue comes from GetTall() and GetWide() not having the correct size, by initializing it inside paint hook, you're sure that you're initializing it after one frame
Or just wrap your PANEL:Init() inside timer.Simple(0, function() end)

I don't understand your issue here...

[Ricky Servietsky]

... fml, you used the same method as my code above ? :/

The paint functions are useless here, i used them to show a difference between the elements...
I tried the timer but not working...

+ the container is initialized far before the Grid... :/

[Tenrys]

This is all I did.

Problem is my DGrid height is NEVER changing, and you don't have this problem, I don't know what to do, i printer its size : height = 24 ... Isn't that default ?

[Tenrys]

It seems to me DGrid is completely retarded. But you can use what you said, SetRowHeight, and use the height you defined earlier. That should work, right?

[Ricky Servietsky]

It does works, thats the only way I found, but i hate dirty hacks, DGrid is supposed to adjust its size, yours do mine doesnt T_T

[Tenrys]

It doesn't adjust it's size, I tried it.

[Ricky Servietsky]

You copy pasted my code with little change and yours seems to adjust na?
