DgsCreateWindow

This function is for creating a new DGS window. This provides a base for other dgs elements to be created within. However, windows do not have a parent and cannot be created in any DGS elements.

Syntax

element dgsCreateWindow ( float x, float y, float width, float height, string titleBarText, bool relative[, int titlenamecolor = 0xFFFFFFFF, float titsize = 25, element titimg = nil, int titcolor = 0xC8141414, element bgimg = nil, int bgcolor = 0x96141414, float sidesize = 5, bool nooffbutton = false ] )

Required Arguments

Example Dx Window.

x: A float of the 2D x position of the window on a player's screen. This is affected by the relative argument.
y: A float of the 2D y position of the window on a player's screen. This is affected by the relative argument.
width: A float of the width of the window. This is affected by the relative argument.
height: A float of the height of the window. This is affected by the relative argument.
titleBarText: A string of the text that will be displayed in the title bar of the window.
relative: This is whether sizes and positioning are relative. If this is true, then all x,y,width,height floats must be between 0 and 1, representing sizes/positions as a fraction of the screen size. If false, then the size and co-ordinates are based on client's resolution, accessible using guiGetScreenSize.

Optional Arguments

NOTE: When using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use. For more information on optional arguments, see optional arguments.

titlenamecolor: An int of the color of the title text of the window.
titsize: A float of the height of the title of the window.
titimg: A texture element of the background of the title of the window.
titcolor: An int of the color of the title of the window.
bgimg: A texture element of the background of the body of the window.
bgcolor: An int of the background color of the body of the window.
sidesize: A float of the side of the window that affects window sizing.
nooffbutton : A bool of whether the window is created without close button.

Returns

Returns a dgs window element if it was created successfully, false otherwise.

Example

This example creates a weapon selection screen, complete with a window, gridlist and a button. Users can select a shotgun or a machine gun. The window is not movable or sizable.

DGS = exports.dgs --get exported functions from dgs
--Setup some tables

shotguns = {
      "chrome",
      "sawn-off",
      "combat"
}

machineGun = {
      "m4",
      "ak-47"
}

function setupWeaponSelection ( theResource )
      -- getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()) at the bottom means it will only create the gui on this resource start
      -- Create a window for our spawnscreen, with the title "Select your weapons".
      spawnScreenMenu = DGS:dgsCreateWindow ( 0.15, 0.33, 0.7, 0.34, "Select your weapons", true )
      -- create an OK button to allow the user to confirm their selections, and attach it to the confirmSelection function
      spawnScreenOKButton = DGS:dgsCreateButton ( 0.4, 0.85, 0.20, 0.15, "OK", true, spawnScreenMenu )
      -- ensure the user can't move or resize our spawnscreen.
      DGS:dgsWindowSetMovable ( spawnScreenMenu, false )
      DGS:dgsWindowSetSizable ( spawnScreenMenu, false )
      -- create our gridlist, which fills up most of the window.
      spawnScreenGridList = DGS:dgsCreateGridList ( 0, 0.1, 1, 0.9, true, spawnScreenMenu )
      -- Since we have 2 sets of weapons, create a column for shotguns and one for machine guns
      DGS:dgsGridListAddColumn ( spawnScreenGridList, "Shotguns", 0.3 )
      DGS:dgsGridListAddColumn ( spawnScreenGridList, "Machine guns", 0.3 )
      -- next, we loop through our handguns table to add handgun items to the gridlist
      for key,weaponName in pairs(shotguns) do
            -- add a new row to our gridlist each time
            local row = DGS:dgsGridListAddRow ( spawnScreenGridList )
            -- next, we set that row's text to the weapon name. Column is 1 since the "Shotguns" column was created first.
            DGS:dgsGridListSetItemText ( spawnScreenGridList, row, 1, weaponName )
      end
      -- we repeat the process for other weapon list, changing the column number
      row = 0
      for key,weaponName in pairs(machineGun) do
            -- we don't need to create new rows as that was done in the previous loop
            -- we just set the row's text to the weapon name. Column is 2 since the "Machine guns" column was created second.
            DGS:dgsGridListSetItemText ( spawnScreenGridList, row, 2, weaponName )
            row = row + 1 -- increase the row number
      end
end
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), setupWeaponSelection )
