panel on_click problem

I can't handle panel on_click function. Here's an example:


////////////////////////////////////////
PANEL* test =
{
pos_x = 100;
pos_y = 100;
layer = 1;
bmap = panel_bmp;
flags = OVERLAY | VISIBLE;
on_click = mouse_use;
}

function mouse_use(panel)
{
test.pos_x = mouse_cursor.x;
test.pos_y = mouse_cursor.y;
}
////////////////////////////////////////////

On_click function doesn't call mouse_use() function. I work with A7.

Hi!
Remove :
on_click = mouse_use;
from the PANEL* test
Place this line in a function
like main under a while loop
Now if you want to click on something look for examples of buttons in manual.

This will get you started

you see,there are 2 on_click functions,one which used for panels, and second for view. Like you said, to use not in panel, but then on_click will afect view. In Aum48 is morrowing example(Link, direct to code snippets),and inventory.wdl, i tried to do the same thing,but it don't work. I can't understand where's the problem.

Hi Jaxas

In a panel definition there are certain codes that you can and
cannot use. Your line "on_click..." should not be there.
I don't know the example your using.
You can place buttons in the panel. You will be
able to clic on these buttons with the mouse and the things that you
have put in a function will be done.

Hope this helps.

but how else i know i'm clicking on panel or not? Here's an example from GameStudio manual:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

panel.on_click
Instead of the 'global' ON_CLICK function, this given function is performed by left clicking with the mouse pointer anywhere within the panel bitmap, as long as no panel element (like a button) is hit. The panel pointer is passed as optional parameter to the function and can be used for determining which panel was clicked on.
Example:

function redblue(panel); //prototype

PANEL* redpan = { x = 10; y = 20; bmap = redmap; on_click = redblue; }
PANEL* bluepan = { x = 10; y = 40; bmap = bluemap; on_click = redblue; }

function redblue(panel)
{
if (panel == redpan) { print("redpan clicked!"); }
if (panel == bluepan) { print("bluepan clicked!"); }
}

///////////////////////////////////////////////

As you can see,functio on_click are used in panel

first its a event = mouse_use;

second its mouse_use(PANEL* pan)

on_lick and panel is c_script

This will work!

Hi!

I've gone back to the manual and checked for on_click
On_click is an event as was said by Cowabanga

The manual says


and when clicking in a view an event is activated.
This situation can also be used in panels, which is what your trying to do but there is a difference



Look up in the index --- event (panel) for the Light-C correct syntax.


On_click in an event but in panel you use the word event.

Hope this is helpfull

Solved problem. I set mouse_map to bmap, and on_click work now. Thanks for helping all
