Move a control from lua

[Tar000un]

Hi,

from http://www.esoui.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1541

i ve a lua code like the Clear / SetAnchor,

AddOnUI:ClearAnchors();
AddOnUI:SetAnchor( TOPLEFT, GuiRoot, TOPLEFT, 0, 0);

I ve also other control in. A texture and a label, with and anchorfill in a backdrop. I tryed to clear / set the backdrop without any success.

As exemple, see 1.2.{3.1,3.2}. Where 2:SetAnchor( _, 1, _,_,_);
I clear from 3.2, then 3.1, then 2, then 1 and reset in the first order.

But that works once and after my UI get bad offset (typically, my label go to the cursor), and UI's position isnt reset.

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly - however like I've posted the other thread (deleted it there now since it was OT)
just reapply your above code in OnUpdate for every Frame (and dont forget the Buffer)

I strongly advise against passing the variable _ to a function, unless you have declared it locally (assuming that's what you meant in the example).

It is commonly used as a "junk" variable so could contain any random value.

I used _ to exprim "any variable you want put here".
2:SetAnchor( _, 1, _,_,_) have to be read like 2:SetAnchor( pos1, 1, pos2,offx,offy)

I apply the code on a reset slash command. My purpose isnt to show a move (with multiple reset), but to redefine a position. Which is correctly reset... only one time per reloadUI. All next command doesnt work.

This depends on how your controls are defined, if you can post a few lines of code maybe we can figure out why controls does not want to move.

The parts about the concerned code :

UI_Texture:ClearAnchors();
UI_Label:ClearAnchors();
UI_BG:ClearAnchors();
UI:ClearAnchors();
 
UI:SetAnchor( TOPLEFT, GuiRoot, TOPLEFT, defaults.x, defaults.y );
UI_BG:SetAnchor(TOPLEFT, UI, TOPLEFT, 0, 0);
UI_Texture:SetAnchor(TOPLEFT, UI_BG, TOPLEFT, 0, 0);
UI_Label:SetAnchor(BOTTOM, UI_BG, BOTTOM, 0, 0);

The XML:

<Controls>
	<Backdrop name="$(parent)_BGcompassTiny" 
			inherits="ZO_CenterlessBackdrop" edgeColor="000000" 
			centerColor="000000" alpha="0">
		<AnchorFill />
	</Backdrop>
	<Texture name="$(parent)_TextureCompassTiny" />
	<Label name="$(parent)_LabelCompassTiny" 
		verticalAlignment="BOTTOM" horizontalAlignment="CENTER" 
		text="Label" alpha="1" 
	/>
</Controls>
