custom component

[lac]

Hi All,

I have done a search and not found exactly what I was looking for so here goes.

I am trying to build a component based on a class where when you enter a label at design time (in the properties panel), it displays on the component on the stage.

This is done in all the FUI Components that have labels and I was wondering if any one knows which part of the code does this. I have spent a couple of days trying to figure out what the code does, but it 's pretty complicated.:hangover:

Any help, tutorials etc. gratefully accepted. :D

Building your own components is NOT easy. You have to have knowledge in Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and various other things.

Here are tutorials on building your own components...

Specifically this one to start off with:

I have never built a component so this is as far as I take you.

Lostinbeta,


Thank you very much for the links. Time to give myself a headache I think ;)

Well OOP always gives me 3 headaches and a migrain, so if I were you I recommend a full bottle of Asprin next to you. :thumb:

the part where it displays it on the stage is part of its live preview. They often take as long to make as the component itself... I beleive there are some tutorials on that in the site that lost linked ;)
