2 Questions about SetDoNotDraw in CG & Callbacks

[kltv]

I've figured out my earlier issues, now I have a couple more.

I'm trying to build a skin for the CG module that has a series of buttons similar to the switcher program bus, where only one of the buttons should be "on" at once. How do I tell the other buttons to turn "off" when another one has been turned "on." I'm thinking I need a callback like the mouse ones, can a callback be any function?

In the ToasterCG module, is SetDoNotDraw the equivalent for the Do Not Render checkbox in the interface? It didn't seem to work on the image layer I was trying to hide and reveal.

Thanks again!

Would the GetButtonState() callback help me with this? Could I use it to check the state of the other buttons? The other thought I had was to use a timer callback to periodically check the states. Would something like that work?

Anyone have any ideas? It seems like something I should be able to do, if I knew programming better. My own brain can't seem to figure it out.

Well, you could just turn the other buttons off when a button is clicked. Suppose you have 3 buttons, btnA, btnB, btnC...


//Not real code, just the theory of it

btnA {
onclick{
btnB.off()
btnC.off()
}
}

btnB {
onclick{
btnA.off()
btnC.off()
}
}

btnC {
onclick{
btnA.off()
btnB.off()
}
}


That should work for what you're doing, and is a little simpler than calling GetButtonState() multiple times so often.

Thanks for the reply Blake! That's exactly what I'm trying to do.

Would that work in just ToasterScript or would it need to be in a C++ program?

Thanks!
