[QUOTE=Jamie932;22043809]I updated it just for this.[/QUOTE]

Sorry you had to do that Jamie... I guess everyone will have to sooner or later though. 3.5 it is then.

I am also very close to getting drag and drop parenting working properly, but there is one unexpected behaviour in C# that I will have to reconcile with before I can commit the change.

[thomasfn]

Looks interesting, you've got to make it better (faster, more efficient, easier) than coding the interfaces though or people won't change to using this.

[QUOTE=c-unit;22032348]Now I feel bad for NonExistent :P This makes his look like shit (although his is still very good)

[editline]06:04PM[/editline]

Also why not add DPropertySheet?[/QUOTE]

Yes exactly, why not? Make it, it's not very hard. I'll post a tutorial on how to make plugins some time.

In other news:[list]
[*]Added drag-drop parenting capability
[*]Optimized it a little
[*]Improved the properties you can view
[/list]
Changes have been committed and the "Latest build" link updated. If you guys find any crashes or anything please post. Anybody wanting to help make the controls is also welcome :D

[QUOTE=NonExistent;21484725]Here's an update: I've completely redesigned the way it looks, it looks a lot better now, but I wont go into detail regarding the new features, yet.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=NonExistent;21522471]Be a tad prepared, you might be a little surprised when you next see it, but let's just keep it as a surprise ;D

It has completely changed, it might actually be a half-shock.[/QUOTE]

Anyways, enough about NonExistent's IDE.

[LuaStoned]

Please make the widescreen size 16:9 rather than 16:10 (or both...)
1280x720 & 1920x1080

You seem to be in the wrong thread.

[editline]07:59PM[/editline]

Ok stoned, 1280x720 and 1920x1080 will be added if they aren't already.

[MakeR]

1366x768

[editline]09:04PM[/editline]

That is the resolution of my laptop screen.

[alexanderk]

Good job on this, gonna use it for whenever I'm gonna make menu's from now on. Atleast the base of them! Thanks, yaka.

Not sure if it's me only - but the buttons position themselves relative to the window instead of the DFrame. I tried changing x to 10 in the properties menu, and it went outside the DFrame... Is that me only?

[c-unit]

Am I the only one having issues with the svn lol?

[yakahughes]

Looks like it. What's it doing where you can't download it?

Updated again:[list]
[*]Fixed a bug in drag and drop parenting where you couldn't parent something that was below what you were trying to parent it to
[*]Fixed a bug in dragdrop parenting where if you parented a panel with a lower Z position then it's parent, it wouldn't draw
[*]Added DTextEntry
[*]Added a "Find Panel by Variable Name" tool - it's in the Tools dropdown menu[/list]

Ah, thank you for noticing that. I'll fix it to where the X and Y values in the properties list are relative to the parent, not the top corner of the designer window.

[editline]10:28PM[/editline]

The bug has been fixed, position now appears relative to the parent in the properties list. Thanks knallex.

[editline]10:17PM[/editline][/QUOTE]

That's wierd as soon as you posted that I tried using SVN on both those links, neither worked, then I clicked on latest build with no SVN and it worked, that didn't happen before :P strange.

[editline]04:40PM[/editline]

And are the sizes you see in the dermadesigner window exactly the same same size as you will see them in game?

[Scooby]

I would like this to be scaled to the screen.

You could use something like this,

[LUA]
local function Scale( x, y ) -- Use 1000x1000 Grid

local h,k = ScrW()/1000, ScrH()/1000
return h*x, k*y

end
[/LUA]

You could also use it for the size, You may want to tweak it to work right because I just made this in 2 seconds

Coding it in C# is a bit harder than in lua, so I can't just take that and make it work, but yes, one of the things in the Todo list is to have an option to base a control's size off of the screen size. It would just be a toggleable feature, then when you enter the size, you'd do it in percent.

Anyways, updates:[list]
[*]Made the DTextEntry actually display the text you set it to display, derp
[*]Something I can't remember but it was good that it got fixed
[/list]

[Scooby]

Cool, cant wait for the next update ( probably soon ) :P

Also when you output the lua code, couldnt you make something that is default in the code.

For exapmle it could output this:

[LUA]
local function Scale( x, y )
--Stuff Here
end

local DFrame1 = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
DFrame1:SetPos( Scale( 10, 10 ) )
DFrame1:SetSize( Scale( 50, 50 ) )
[/LUA]

Just to make it look good on all resolutions?

[c-unit]

Alil off topic, but C# is just C++ on steroids right?

[yakahughes]

No, C++ is actually 'more powerful' because you have more direct access to system resources like memory and stuff, and you can code assembly (at least in visual C++) directly in the code.

With C#, it is [b]way[/b] easier to do high level stuff with though.

This is going to start a massive flame war if we let it go too far, you should just look up the differences and pros and cons on the net if you really want to know.

[c-unit]

Gotcha

If I flame war gets started, the people starting it are completely stupid. Everyone should understand that C# is the greatest high level programming language to reach all Windows users while letting the coder have a huge break on some common use things, mostly gui.

[editline]07:18PM[/editline]

Also, would you kindly document the plugin dll interface. I would like to get started on some of the other vgui elements.

Here's a quick guide:

1. Make a new VC# project and set it to make a DLL in the options
2. Add a reference to DermaDesigner.exe
3. You now have access to all the classes and stuff that a native class would
4. Look at the other classes to see what you need to do code-wise
5. Stick the plugin in the plugins folder
6. Start DD
7. ???
8. Stand in awe of the fact that it's working.

Updates:[list]
[*]Added DLabel
[*]Changed some minor UI stuff
[/list]

[Gbps]

Starting on DPanel

[editline]09:17PM[/editline]

Finished DPanel

[yakahughes]

Updated:[list]
[*]Fixed an infinite recursion bug where you could parent a panel to it's child
[*]Fixed a drawing bug
[*]Fixed another parenting bug
[*]Made DLabel multiline capable[/list]Whenever Gbps gives me his code for the DPanel I'll add it too.

[alexanderk]

Just a suggestion - for the properties of DFrame, add the SetBackgroundBlur? It's a very minor addition I guess - but I keep forgetting shit like that, so for me it'd be useful atleast.

[robby]

It seems when DermaDesigner sets a color of something, it doesn't finish the brackets.
[lua]
DLabel1:SetTextColor(Color(175, 238, 238, 255)
[/lua]
It doesn't put the last bracket.

[SnakeFace]

I'm doing DCheckBox.

[Gbps]

Also, another bug, when a panel creates it's lua, it doesn't generate it in order of parent above child, therefore it generates code that tries to use a parent that is declared below it.

No problem.

You can't checkout anything but the trunk
