| 01:11.23 | ZorbaBeta | you can't trigger events on native frames - it's read-only |
| 01:12.12 | ZorbaBeta | the mouse masking mode only offers two options right now, they're listed in the documentation. if you don't want mouse events to be triggered, don't handle mouse events |
| 01:12.30 | Nivlix | kk |
| 01:12.40 | Nivlix | about the events |
| 01:13.17 | Nivlix | what i was curious about is wether or not its possible to have the mouseclick event of a custom frame, call the native equivilants mouseclick event |
| 01:13.46 | Nivlix | to where right clicking on my custom player unitframe would pop up the same menu as right clicking on the default player unitframe |
| 01:14.14 | ZorbaBeta | no, it is not. We'll probably add a way to trigger the built-in unit right-click menu. |
| 01:14.40 | Nivlix | ahhh ok cool deal, thanks zorba |
| 01:15.18 | ZorbaBeta | np :) |
| 01:15.42 | Nivlix | thats the only thing keeping me from being able to use my unit frames now :P and mind you i dont use the right click menu much, but meh lol |
| 01:18.42 | Nivlix | and the reason for the question about the mouse masking is to figure out how to make it to where if im not in a party, since the window will be set to not visible, that the custom frames will not consume the click events anymore, but I think i figured out how im gonna do it, imma set the on change event to check if party members are available, if they are it will size the window and make it |
| 01:18.43 | Nivlix | visible, if the arent i will have it clear all and then hide it |
| 01:19.05 | Nivlix | i THINK that will work :P lol |
| 01:20.28 | ZorbaBeta | I'm pretty sure an invisible frame won't accept click messages at all |
| 01:20.34 | ZorbaBeta | so, just hide any frames you don't want shown |
| 01:21.00 | Nivlix | myUI's raid frames intercept even when they are hidden, which is what led me to start writing my own UI, i dont know how hes working it though |
| 01:22.14 | Nivlix | hmmm i dont know what he did wrong then, cause you are absolutely right, it wont take the click if its hidden |
| 01:34.42 | seebs | Hmm. |
| 01:34.50 | seebs | I had a question which I have finally remembered! |
| 01:35.01 | Nivlix | every time i place the buff bar, save the layout and then reloadui the dang bar moves |
| 01:35.09 | seebs | Is there a way to make a round button such that the corners of it are not part of it for clicking purposes, other than buttons using :SetSkin()? |
| 01:35.33 | seebs | I am assuming that alpha does not make something mouse-transparent too. |
| 01:35.51 | seebs | (Although I now want to make an API in which a 50% transparent window has a 50% of receiving clicks, just to make people cry.) |
| 02:42.48 | ZorbaBeta | fun fact: the buttons created with SetSkin are actually rectangular. In fact, every UI element in Rift is actually rectangular. |
| 02:43.04 | seebs | I suspected as much. |
| 02:43.15 | seebs | But I can't see a way to mask clicks from parts of the frame. I don't know whether there is one. |
| 02:44.14 | seebs | Presumably there is, but either it's implicit in transparency or I don't know about it. |
| 02:45.44 | ZorbaBeta | there actually isn't. I'm serious when I say all the buttons are really rectangular - open up an ingame Rift dialog and play around with the close button |
| 02:45.57 | ZorbaBeta | you'll discover that while it's visually round, the hit rectangle is actually a square |
| 02:47.04 | seebs | ohhh. |
| 02:47.32 | ZorbaBeta | turns out nobody really notices what shape buttons are :) |
| 02:49.09 | seebs | It'd be a really nice feature to have for stuff like hex grids, *large* circles, and of course jigsaw puzzles. |
| 02:49.42 | ZorbaBeta | it'd be neat, but it's tough to justify the implementation effort. If you need to, you can approximate shapes with a bunch of rectangular frames |
| 02:49.49 | seebs | True. |
| 02:50.09 | seebs | Huh. Now I wonder whether any of the other UIs I've dealt with actually have that feature. No one would notice most of the time. |
| 02:50.45 | ZorbaBeta | I'd bet money that the majority do. |
| 02:50.59 | ZorbaBeta | Rectangles are really fast and really easy to code. |
| 02:51.27 | seebs | I've been using a lot of circles because of physics. |
| 02:51.59 | seebs | And large circles start having more noticeable corners; they're not a big deal at 16px, but at 150px they are. |
| 02:55.17 | ZorbaBeta | playing around with the Tribes: Ascend UI, all their buttons have this little notch cut out of the topleft |
| 02:55.25 | ZorbaBeta | but the hitrect is just a totally normal rectangle |
| 02:58.55 | seebs | Hmm. It'd be really hard to make a non-exploitable way for an addon to pass on a mouse event. |
| 03:02.03 | seebs | So for a single window, I can cheat by just grabbing everything at the window level. |
| 03:02.14 | seebs | But for something like GoofBall, where I really want to use the screen as the playfield, it's harder. |
| 03:02.52 | seebs | Your API doesn't appear to have taken into account the need for a large number of large round buttons which must be able to surround each other without overlappying hit boxes, which move rapidly. |
| 03:03.04 | seebs | Geeze, what were you THINKING? |
| 03:05.02 | seebs | Oh, that reminds me. UI quirk which I don't know whether it's a bug or not. |
| 03:05.25 | seebs | When buttons on an action bar are hidden and don't have anything, they still eat all mouse events all the time. |
| 03:05.53 | seebs | I really do have to get around to trying to write button bars to solve my button bar problems. |
| 03:06.24 | seebs | The lock/don't-lock mechanism does not meet my emotional needs. |
| 03:22.19 | Nivlix | action bars are gonna be the next thing once i finish the unit frames |
| 03:24.12 | Nivlix | http://svn.riftui.com/filedetails.php?repname=nivUI&path=%2Ftrunk%2FnivUI%2FprogressReports%2Fuf_almost_right.jpg |
| 03:24.23 | Nivlix | there ya go seebs, latest screenshot of how its coming along |
| 03:25.26 | Nivlix | the unit frames will have a little more text to em, but i just didnt feel like coding anymore tonight, wanted to play a little before i went back to work to code for a week :P |
| 03:27.18 | seebs | Neat. |
| 03:28.23 | seebs | 91% or so into 49, here, so yeah, gonna stab some stuff. |
| 03:28.31 | seebs | After dinner. |

| 14:51.26 | Kreiri | hi |
| 14:57.25 | starlon | hello |
| 15:08.25 | Cel_ | guys, i am still pondering over how to get the method handler to do what i intend. |
| 15:10.15 | Cel_ | in order to cast for example "Bloom", what would i have to add in this method? -> function button.Event:LeftPress () |
| 15:10.56 | imush | i'd be very suprised if you were allowed to cast spells through the addon api |
| 15:11.08 | imush | i havent looked into it but its probably not possible |
| 15:12.11 | Cel_ | hmm, the xmacros addon can cast spells, but due to my inexperiance with lua and the api i wasnt able to figure out how exactly its done. |
| 15:12.48 | imush | ah sorry i think i misunderstood |
| 15:13.04 | imush | you want to make something like an action bar so when you click on the button it casts a spell? |
| 15:13.29 | Cel_ | exactly |
| 15:13.51 | Cel_ | an action bar with a different layout so i can arrange the spells in categorys |
| 15:15.23 | imush | hm i have no idea how you would do that :p |
| 15:15.28 | Cel_ | :-( |
