direct-gui-edit

Scripting Issues

Do you need to do anything special to get direct-gui-edit to work? It doesn’t seem to work with this code. I can’t drag or resize the button.

from panda3d.core import *
from direct.fsm.FSM import FSM
from direct.gui.DirectGui import *
loadPrcFileData("", "direct-gui-edit 1") 

class MainMenu(FSM):
   
   def __init__(self, appCallback):
      FSM.__init__(self, "MainMenu")
      self.appCallback = appCallback
      
   def enterMain(self):
      self.button = DirectButton(text="Quit", command=self.quit, scale=0.05)
      
   def exitMain(self):
      print "exit called"
      self.button.destroy()
      
   def quit(self):
      print "quit clicked"
      self.appCallback("quit")
      
if __name__=="__main__":
   from direct.showbase.ShowBase import ShowBase
   import sys
   
   class myapp(ShowBase):      
      def __init__(self):
         ShowBase.__init__(self)         
         self.mainMenu = MainMenu(self.callback)
         self.mainMenu.request("Main")

      def callback(self, request):
         if request == "quit":
            self.mainMenu.cleanup()
            sys.exit()
         
   app = myapp()
   app.run()

I figured out that if I put “direct-gui-edit 1” in the Config.prc file, it works fine.

Is there a reason why this doesn’t work inside the code?

Have you tried putting that before importing other panda modules? Like:

from panda3d.core import loadPrcFileData
loadPrcFileData("", "direct-gui-edit 1") 

from panda3d.core import *
from direct.fsm.FSM import FSM
from direct.gui.DirectGui import *
