Is there any layer concept like the nifty-layer but in tonegodGUI?
because i want to hide a layer from the beginning in my game, then use a button to control its’ show/hide.

thanks.

Hi there,

elements can be hidden with the hide() method, or I suppose you can set its z location on the GUI node

Hiding it will usually work just fine

There can be…

You can use the following flag on Element to remove it’s render component and use it as a container only:

[java]
Element.setAsContainerOnly();
[/java]

Set them to the screen dimensions and you have full-screen layers. However, I don’t think the library currently reorder’s child element z-order based on user selection.

I would also look at AppState as an alternative for this concept:

initialize = show the related components
cleanup = hide the related components

Like suggested in the post above.

Thanks all,

I got it,
I want to ask more about how to set an element with its component is default hidden in *.gui.xml file ?

Sorry about the delay here. Been rather ill today.

I think you could use a method tag to call setIsVisible, but I’ll need to check and test it tomorrow morning.

how to define a tab-group with some tabs in xml.

Take care of yourself.

That is a darn good question =)

I have no clue atm… need to go try and figure it out. I swear I am usually not this lame… but I wrote the layout parser and have never used it aside from in a test or 2… which means it is probably missing a control or 3.

Thanks you,

These problem I solved in java init()…
