XML movable controls

skyraker · 04/04/14, 01:04 PM

I have my top level control (and just in case I set my my label control to movable) in my xml file. Yet I cannot get them to move. When I defined the label control inside my lua file it worked fine, but I had to move it back outside for scoping reasons.

Code:

<TopLevelControl name="MyStatusWindow" movable="true">
     <Controls>
          <Label name="toolText" font="MyStatWinFont3" color="FFFFFF" movable="true">
               <AnchorFill />
          </Label>
     </Controls>

Tell it you want use the mouse to move them. The attribute is mouseEnabled="true"

That's not working for me.

I tested some things and here are my results:

you need an anchor for your control to work correclty.
your control need dimensions, otherwise you try to drag 0*0 pixel
i guess movable is not working for labels, never heard about it so far
