LUA: UI

Quote from Ctrl+Cee

Hi I'm looking to add some appearance thumbnails to a list of buttons.

I created a dialogue with a list of all my appearances, but I want to add their thumbnail before the name.

I think its possible, because the popup window for selecting appearances for objects contains a thumbail from the appearances.

But I can't find how to do this? I searched in the programdata folder to find examples without luck.

Ctrl+Cee , did you find how to do this ? Or Someone else ?

This example shows how you can display faders on a dialog. It also shows how a resize corner can be included to allow the user to change the size of the dialog. I've attached the LUA script for this.

There appears to be a lot of UI controls available for creating dialogs.

For example, take a look inside any of the "*.uixml" files that can be found below "C:\ProgramData\MALightingTechnology\gma3_1.5.2\shared\resource" on a Windows onPC installation. These files appear to contain an XML definition of the dialogs used by the MA system. This is a useful source of information regarding the names of the available UI controls and their properties.

Also, if you look at some of the .lua files below that path you will find examples of the signalTable being used to respond to UI events.

Hopefully that will be of help to others.

When you mentioned looking at the *.uixml files, what is useable within these files to add more inputs to my plugins? Popups is one I'm particularly interested in getting working, specifically the appearance popup.

Any ideas on how to do this? I've tried appending the 'AppearancePopup' as it is called within the .uixml but doesn't seem to help.
