[nifty-gui] Right align problem

Troubleshooting gui
#1

Hello,



I am trying a very simple GUI test :



[xml]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<nifty xmlns="http://nifty-gui.sourceforge.net/nifty-1.3.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://nifty-gui.sourceforge.net/nifty-1.3.xsd http://nifty-gui.sourceforge.net/nifty-1.3.xsd">

<screen id="GameHUDScreen" controller="fr.bewigame.dungeonexplorer.DungeonExplorer">

<layer id="GameHUDLayer" childLayout="center">

<panel id="GameHUDControls" valign="bottom" width="100%" height="20%" backgroundImage="Textures/GUI/fond_ui.png" childLayout="horizontal">

<image id="UpButton" filename="Textures/GUI/arrow_up.png" valign="bottom" align="right"></image>

</panel>

</layer>

</screen>

</nifty>[/xml]



I want the image to be aligned to the right on the panel. But the image stays on the left. Why ?

OK I have found the problem. I had to change childLayout=“horizontal” to childLayout=“center” on the panel.

If you did need horizontal layout but right-aligned you can right align a horizontally laid out panel by putting an empty panel with width “*” at the start, this will expand to fill all available space and push everything else to the right.
