That cat in your signature is makeing me nervous... looks like hes plotting something.

I always use the keyboard unless I'm fighting on the side of a hill or underwater.

Would be nice if there was a toggle to disable all window movement (instead of manulay locking all the windows) and right click popups.

I tend to agree, but heres the excuse. Since SOE provided the means to exclude the title bar of the window, they wanted to ensure that a person would have access to the right click commands if they desired them. To this end, the made a right click the falls thru the parent window without touching any screenpieces will result in the Right-click options menu. The behavior is also enabled for a few specific elements.

I have come to believe that every window has its own unique Right-Click menu, rather than having a one menu that is used by all windows.

SOE really needs to expose this part of the UI for modding - ESPECIALLY a better way of setting up chat window filters.

I could not agree with you more. Setting filters is one task I hate, since I use a melee spam chat box. Someone from SOE needs to read this board sometime to get input. I think we have some of the brightest people around.

One thing that you can do is add a button to the window, make it transparrent and size it so it takes up nearly the entire window. Just leave a strip along one of the edges of the window so the right click menu is still accessable.

make it the first <piece> that is loaded for the window so that all your buttons and gauges are still clickable. The transparent button behind it all will prevent the right click menue from popping up if you misclick.

/nod, Remelio has done this with a number of the t.king pieces, most notably the inventory window.

It is a very handy little trick, as we all know just how annoying that right-click menu gets.

(I'm in the process of adding it to my mod as well, I had intended to do this and forgot, frankly. Update #1 inc shortly!)

Zanral - Sure you can. The letter "u", for "use".

Kenney -

<Button item="ACTW_Unclickable1">
<ScreenID>ACTW_Unclickable1</ScreenID>
<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>
<Location>
<X>0</X>
<Y>10</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>75</CX>
<CY>578</CY>
</Size>
<Style_Transparent>true</Style_Transparent>
<Style_Checkbox>false</Style_Checkbox>
<TextColor>
<R>255</R>
<G>255</G>
<B>255</B>
</TextColor>
<ButtonDrawTemplate />
</Button>

Changing the name (ACTW_Unclickable1) and the size and location to whatever is appropriate for the window in question (I just used that one as an example).

kenney

Ohh cool thanks =)

I just started adding this to my UI.. Here's an example from my group window: (This is how I prefer to do it)

<Button item = "GW_NullButton">
<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>
<Location>
<X>0</X>
<Y>0</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>128</CX>
<CY>256</CY>
</Size>
</Button>


Then at the bottom above the other pieces


<Pieces>GW_NullButton</Pieces>


Because: It takes up less space


edit2: Tested and you can get away without the <ButtonDrawTemplate> </ButtonDrawTemplate>
so I removed them from the example
