IGUIEditBox not working well with parent

[XenoZergNid]

I have a custom toolbar class with children tools, and within those tools are GUI elements. It's all been going well(buttons and check boxes are working as expected) but when I want to use an IGUIEditBox it won't work(it draws but won't interact when clicked on). But it will work if I leave it without a parent.

I'm pretty sure its not my code because IGUIButton works in the same class.

also looking at IGUIButton and IGUIEditBox:

CGUIButtons return for OnEvent()

Code: Select all

return Parent ? Parent->OnEvent(event) : false;

and CGUIEditBoxes:

Code: Select all

return IGUIElement::OnEvent(event);

could this be the problem?

can you create a small test program that shows the issue and post it here? just take one of the examples and add the trouble you are having, then we can help.

well, the moral of the story is to try to reproduce the problem before posting on the forum because it revealed the problem...

I didn't call

Code: Select all

return IGUIElement::OnEvent(event);

on the classes parent.

I guess I'll do that next time before posting on the forums.
