Title: Suggesting Lock controls on GUIs
Post by: Scummbuddy on Tue 17/06/2003 17:26:44
During or creating a GUI in the editor, your hand might slip and move your buttons, well, in my case it has.... several times.  I think it would be nice if you could add a button to control whether you can move the buttons, and other elements of the gui if you dont want them to move.

Its like 'align elements to grid' only not be able to move them.  
I hope I got my point across.

Yeah, I know that problem. Everytime you edit a button's settings you have to click it, at the risk of moving it off its place. If it's easy to do, i'd consider a small checkbox useful, just like 'lock object in position', but I could live without it  ;)

I totally agree.  If you accidentally move something under something else, especially, it can be impossible to even get ahold of it to move it back.

Let's bump this mofo.

Another feature missing from the GUI editor is the "mouse pos", just like in the room editor...

Would that be a useful feature to have? How so?

It'll help when you want to put something (like a button) on the GUI, so it'll be at a specific place in the room screen.
