Made hiper plugin in CodeLab, don`t know how to create UI

[MadJik]

Ok, I've corrected some layout issues that should make it work fine using IndirectUI. If the controls overflow the working area of the screen, then it will introduce a scrollbar automatically.

I still cannot reproduce the Ctrl+F issue you claim to have. I changed your "mode" property to use a StaticListChoiceProperty, and everything worked perfectly fine.

So please, give back your source, I will have THE example from the Master! It will be a great help for me.

I didn't do anything special. I just used StaticListChoiceProperty.CreateForEnum. I already deleted the modification, it was very trivial. I don't know how it isn't working for you.

private enum SomeEnumYouMake
{
   FirstChoice,
   SecondChoice,
   ThirdChoice
}

...

props.Add(StaticListChoiceProperty.CreateForEnum(PropertyNames.Whatever, SomeEnumYouMake.SecondChoice, false);
...
SomeEnumYouMake seym = (SomeEnumYouMake)newToken.GetProperty(PropertyNames.Whatever).Value;

Question: What exactly is "hiper"? I can only assume it's HiPER - High Power laser Energy Research facility...

If that's correct, then you're making a plugin that creates nuclear fusion. Now this, I've gotta see

SomeEnumYouMake seym = (SomeEnumYouMake)newToken.GetProperty(PropertyNames.Whatever).Value;

What I'm not happy with is FirstChoice when I would like First Choise (with a space)... So I'm trying to use texts and then I'm having this troubles...

@pyrochild: From what I can see, it's a hyper coloring plugins IMO.

[Rick Brewster]

Are you having trouble with setting the text you want, or with getting the right functionality? You're just confusing me now.

To set the text, just do what Clouds does. First, you have to retrieve the PropertyControlInfo in OnCreateConfigUI(),

PropertyControlInfo pci = configUI.FindControlForPropertyNames(PropertyNames.Whatever);

Then, you need to associate display names with values.

pci.SetValueDisplayName(SomeEnumYouMake.FirstChoice, "First Choice But I Want This Text Instead");

Great!

Thanks for explanation... I've got it work!

[Rick Brewster]

Did you get Ctrl+F working?

[MadJik]

Yes!

[Asmageddon Prince]

Wow! Thanks you all, especially MadJik.

It works much faster now, and I really like the UI you created, but I think, that I should create UI myself.

And one more thing, can you tell me how other blending modes work?

Sorry if you wasted time for me, but I prefer if my work is completly mine, but I`ll keep the changes you made for optimization.

And I have some new ideas for my plugin, so I`ll wait with UI a bit.

That's ok... at least it made me learn something new for my own plugins...

BTW, what is really this effect for and what's name could it have?

[Asmageddon Prince]

First it was supposed to be just weaker version of Edge Detect.

But later I made some more things, added four various modes of extracting colors by reading difference between pixels.Then blending modes, blur, changing angle while in middle of loop, inversion, colors opacity.

I even have plans for setting center point in image, that Angle will be set so it come out of the center plus then rotating them so you can get something like radial blur, but this one is a bit too hard for me.

But it`s still very great plugin(I think so).

With this one you can get various effects, like:

-Motion blur

-Frosted glass

-Emboss

-Edge detect

-Outline

-Relief

-And many many more...

And you even can sharpen picture with it by setting some combinations of values.

There are thousands of effects in one!

And the only way to use them is to experiment.

And can you compile the source with created UI, I don`t have anything to compile it for now.And I sometimes want to use it without just modifying values in CodeLab(with is my only tool for programming for now).

Download Visual Studio C# Express 2008. The design tools are great, and you'll have tons more control over your design, especially seeing how this design is extremely complicated to say the least.

First version as now there is a lift for long UI. :!: You must have V3.20 beta 2!

[Asmageddon Prince]

I`ve got Microsoft visual studio 2008, and much newer version of my plugin, but still thanks.

And one more thing, how to create plugins in Visual studio, I know how to create UI, but inserting the code from CodeLab there results in some errors.
