Code Examples

client

This example creates a GUI window with a checked and an unchecked combo box and adds a command to toggle their visibility

function drawGUI()
  guiWindow = guiCreateWindow(100,100,200,100,"ComboBox test area",false,false) -- create the container window
  local combobox = guiCreateComboBox(20,30,150,20,"Checked ComboBox",false,guiWindow) -- note the parameter after header, it will create a ComboBox
    guiComboBoxAddItem(combobox,"Selected") --Add items to combobox
    guiComboBoxAddItem(combobox,"UnSelected")
  guiComboBoxSetSelected(combobox,0)--set the first row which is the selected row Selected.
  guiSetVisible(guiWindow,false) -- set it invisible just in case
end
addCommandHandler("combobox",function()
  if not guiWindow then -- if it hasn't been declared yet
    drawGUI() -- we draw the gui window
    guiSetVisible(guiWindow,true) -- we set it visible again. Strictly speaking it's not necessary, could have omitted both this and the upper guiSetVisible, but this is needed if you want to cache a window without actually showing it
  else -- if we actually have run this function before and declared guiWindow
    guiSetVisible(guiWindow, not guiGetVisible(guiWindow)) -- we just toggle the visibility. If it was visible, not visible returns false and thus sets it's visibility false, effectivly hiding it
  end
  showCursor(not isCursorShowing()) -- similar to above visibility
end)
