Bulletin Object

Synopsis

Class Name: Bulletin
Valid Parents: Dialog, Bulletin
Valid Children: Bulletin, Button, Label, Popup, Separator, Switch, Text, Toolbar, Combobox

Description

A container for positioning other GUI objects in a dialog.

  • Child GUI objects are positioned in pixels and cannot have rubber attachment to sides of the bulletin.
  • It's possible to create a dialog with a built-in bulletin (the bulletinBoard dialog). The only restriction to a bulletinBoard dialog is that any buttons you add appear in the button area at the bottom not in the working area of the dialog.
  • When you create a bulletin as a child of a dialog, then the bulletin will fill the entire working area of the dialog and XuNguiPosition, XuNguiWidth and XuNguiHeight are ignored.
  • It is possible to have multiple bulletins within one dialog. This allows you to have a number of prepared which you switch between as required. See example below.
