VGUI usage questions

[frostcat]

I am attempting to have one checkbutton disable the other when it is checked.
I know how to control each element in my panel.cpp:

	
///Constructor of my panel
m_pTime = new vgui::CheckButton(this, "Check1", "Test");
	m_pTime->SetPos(100, 400);
	m_pTime->SetSize(200, 50);

	m_pTime2 = new vgui::CheckButton(this, "Check2", "Test2");
	m_pTime2->SetPos(100, 600);
	m_pTime2->SetSize(200, 50);	
	m_pTime2->SetEnabled(false);

But how to I call SetEnabled for a checkbutton based on interaction with another element? I found this function in checkbutton.cpp which looks useful:

void CheckButton::OnCheckButtonChecked(Panel *panel)
{
}

How am I supposed to use it? Am I a supposed to derive my own clone for each element?

Investigated a bit more and found OnMousePressed in the Panel class. When I want to call it in Checkbutton it says ERROR: inherited member is not allowed

void CheckButton::OnMousePressed(MouseCode code)
{
}

Checkbutton should inherit all public functions from panel or am I not getting something?

After more research I got this far:

In my panel class

 private:
 	//Other used VGUI control Elements:
	vgui::CheckButton* m_pTime; // Panel class declaration, private section
	vgui::CheckButton* m_pTime2; 

	vgui::Button	*exitbutton;

 public:
	 MESSAGE_FUNC_PARAMS( OnCheck1Checked, "CheckButtonChecked", data );

MESSAGE_FUNC_PARAMS( OnCheck1Checked, "CheckButtonChecked", data );

I do not understand this piece but I know that it successfully detects wether the check buttons are pressed. The problem is, it fires for every checkbutton.

void CMyPanel::OnCheck1Checked( KeyValues *data )
{
	//check which checkbutton pointer is used so that it can fire different things depending on which checkbutton was checked.
}

So, how to check within this function which checkbutton is checked? I basically need to check wether it was m_pTime or m_pTime2.

CheckButtonList.cpp contains an example on how to use that message function.

You can get the checkbutton from the panel parameter:

vgui::Panel *pPanel = (vgui::Panel *)data->GetPtr( "panel" );

Using it as is crashes the game in the main menu which I think is a broken pointer.

void CMyPanel::OnCheck1Checked( KeyValues *data )
{
	vgui::Panel *pPanel = (vgui::Panel *)data->GetPtr( "panel" );

	if ( FStrEq( pPanel->GetName(), "Check1" ) )	
	{
	Msg("Name is check1\n");
	}
	else
	{
		Msg("Name is not check1\n");
	}
	
		
}

Fixed the problem after reading the VGUI documentation closely, a few times.

Another problem I have is that I want to create a CModelPanel. However the compiler says:
error C2039: 'CModelPanel' : is not a member of 'vgui'


The problem has to be a missing include or something.

Class declaration my panel

 private:
 	//Other used VGUI control Elements:
	vgui::CheckButton* m_pTime; // Panel class declaration, private section
	vgui::CheckButton* m_pTime2; 

	vgui::Button	*exitbutton;
	vgui::ComboBox	*calibercombo;
	vgui::CModelPanel	*bulletpanel;

All of them work excetp CModel. I have checked where it is declared and I included all includes from basemodelpanel.cpp and it still can not find it.

Again ran into this error:

ERROR: inherited member is not allowed

In my panel

void CMyPanel::ApplySchemeSettings(IScheme *pScheme)
{
	BaseClass::ApplySchemeSettings(pScheme);

	pScheme->GetFont( "Trebuchet18" );
}

Header file

class MyPanel
{
public:
	virtual void		Create( vgui::VPANEL parent ) = 0;
	virtual void		Destroy( void ) = 0;

protected:
	virtual void		ApplySchemeSettings( vgui::IScheme *pScheme );
	
	
	
};

What is causing it? I checked an compared my code to other occurences in the code who use it in the exact same way.
