[fixed] GUI elements clipping problem

[Aelis440]

For some reason, I cannot make my GUI Element ignore its parent's clipping rectangle. Here's what I got:

Code: Select all

	IGUITabControl* test = GUIEnv->addTabControl(rect<s32>(700, 50, 1200, 700));
	test->addTab(L"Movement");

	IGUIStaticText* moveForward = GUIEnv->addStaticText(L"Move Forward", rect<s32>(5, 5, 105, 25), false, false, test->getTab(0));

	rect<s32> editRect(460, 0, 480, 20);
	IGUIEditBox* moveForwardEdit = GUIEnv->addEditBox(L"W", editRect, false, moveForward, 100);
	moveForwardEdit->setNotClipped(true);

	//... every loop this is called:

	test->draw();

If you change the size of moveForward to say, 5, 5, 500, 25, you can then see the moveForwardEdit since it would then be inside the clipping rectangle of moveForward.

Why do you parent your elements then? Just draw it as a separate element. Parents will always clip their childs.

I'd call that a bug. The non-clipped element isn't recalculating its clipping rectangle.

The quick fix is to call updateAbsolutePosition() on it, or one of its parents. Actually, I'd recommend calling test->updateAbsolutePosition() after you're finished adding elements.

Who invented the noclip flag

Bitplaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane!

(Actually, I'm just assuming, I didn't check the SVN blames)

Yep, all my fault

Will move to bug reports and do something about it asap

update: I couldn't reproduce it with that test case, but I've added updateAbsolutePosition to setNotClipped anyway in case it shows up elsewhere
