Slab - An Immediate Mode GUI Library In Lua

[coding.jackalope]

Jackalope just wanted to say thanks for this fantastic little library.

I tried Nuklear and despite my damndest, everything compiled, but it just didn't run for me. No error. No UI. Think I needed to run with '--fused' or something, but anyway. Tried slab, got it working first try. Your documentation is great too.

Your library has been a big help getting my tile editor to up and running quickly.

Thank you man.

I'm happy to hear this library has helped you make progress on your project. If you run into any issues or have any suggestions to help improve the library, feel free to reach out and let me know.

Heads up the docs for the menu/menubar component just redirect to the main wiki.

I can figure it out from the api source anyhow, but others might have trouble.

I take it is there or it's just not documented yet?

[coding.jackalope]

Thanks for pointing that out. The link was pointing to an invalid page. The Menus page should be accessible now.

[yintercept]

Cool, thanks Jack.

I'm literally implementing a menubar *today*. You fixed that fast. It's just 'new scene' and 'export' menu options, woopdeedoo, but Slab actually makes implementing small things like this enjoyable again. Thanks.

I added an OnHover option to the text, window, tree, and button elements.

I've only used Git a few times, should I do a pull request or something?

[coding.jackalope]

Yeah, go ahead and do a pull request.

Also, there is a function that already detects if a control is hovered after the control is declared. Slab.IsControlHovered will cover all controls that are supported by Slab.

Pardon, I currently have my head keyboard stuck to my forehead.

Added OnHover as one of the options in any case, calls whatever function is passed in when the element detects a hover.

But if Slab.IsControlHovered already exists is the additional option really worth doing a PR for?

[coding.jackalope]

Yeah, I would hold off on the PR for now and use the IsControlHovered function. It allows you to keep the standard behavior of controls while also allowing hover detection with that function.

I encountered the following problem..

xdelta, ydelta = slab.GetMouseDelta()
slab.Text(v.name)
if slab.IsControlClicked()
print "ydelta: " .. ydelta -- ydelta is ALWAYS 0
end


Don't know whats going on, if it's on my end, or if it's a bug or maybe it's something to do with scope?
I tried printing it before and after slab.Text, and before and after slab.IsControlClicked, it's only 0 inside the if statement.

Hey!

Really excited about this lib!

Any easy way to know whether a click is inside or outside the UI layer?

Thanks!
