Has anyone figured out a way to put window gadgets inside tabs? I've figured out a way to render to multiple windows thanks to Brendy and now I need tabs for various windows such as one for level editing and weapon editing... anyone - rob would have had an answer for me but alas, who has the answers?

I see a lil' byte, its 1/4th a dword, Double float, Double float - but it doesnt beat a Global. Very very frightning, integers dividing me! Look a constant oh a constant. Oh-oh I just want the byte!

Rather than totally seperate windows, it would be more efficient to detect which tab is active, and then render the appropriate image. If you want multiple windows visible simultaneously then you need to render each and then copy the image to some other gadget such as a panel or canvas. Not sure if there is a method for doing that though because I've never rendered 3D to a BlueGUI window.

Nope - that's conventional and easy for sure - but you can't render an image to say a panel or etc... if you're using an image to camera or like... I have a plug in that lets me specify additional rendering windows - that is, it lets me create a window that acts as a second - or depending on how many windows - 24th dbpro window... my question IS: Since I can ALREADY render to multiple dbpro windows - how do I make them children of a tab gadget... there was once a purpose to the "window_noborder" style... but for whatever reason, this doesn't allow you to initialize it as a child of a gadget that can be a child of a window... IE - panels go in windows not the reverse... but yet the API allows this to be possible... both windows and panels can act as parent gadgets to each other... just not in blue - is it merely the plugin?

Just something I threw together in a couple of minutes; it seems to do what you want though


Edit: any chance to get a copy of / link to that plugin by the way? It sounds handy

Sure - though you can search - it's got a unique name... BBB Rendering... but in you wanted... it's attached right here

you were/are close - I need the inverse... the window is a child of the tab, not versa

That was just a demo, I'm fairly sure you can child the window to any gadget.

Or oh, do you mean attach directly to the tabs gadget?
I haven't used those in a while but if I recall correctly you can't do that; what you do is either have a single panel which contents you update when a new tab is selected or you can have a panel for each tab and just hide / show them when selecting the individual tabs.

Thanks for naming the plugin by the way, I knew I had seen it around somewhere before

Edit: shouldn't have double posted, but it's late and I didn't think I could edit my previous post
