FreeSpaceComponent - ParzivalExe/guiapi GitHub Wiki

From Overview

Again, the name already describes this component pretty well as a FreeSpaceComponent is used to prevent Components from using the place it is used for.

The result will be a place in the Gui that will not be populated by any Components. Threw a specific Field you can also specify if this position should be filled by the given FillItem of the Gui or if it should be completely free, even if the Gui should normally would fill empty places with FillItems

Implementation

The implementation of FreeSpaceComponent is basically the most simple implementation from all of the Components. Simply create the Component like this:

FreeSpaceComponent spaceComponent = new FreeSpaceComponent();
//manipulate spaceComponent here
gui.addComponent(spaceComponent);

For FreeSpaceComponents you probably want to set the actual Place they should keep free every time so simply write spaceComponent.setPlace(place); inside the manipulate spaceComponent region.

Now there is actually only one thing you can also change for the FreeSpaceComponent. With the field boolean forceNoFill you can choose weather the free space should be filled with the FillItem of the Gui or always stay free. Default here is forceNoFill = false meaning, that the space is filled by the FillItem of the Gui but you can of course also change that in the manipulate spaceComponent region by writing spaceComponent.setForceNoFill(true).

Events

ComponentClickedEvent = fired, when the StaticComponent (or any other Component) is clicked

XML-Attributes

place="{PLACE}" = sets the place this Component should be placed at in the Gui (example: place="4")

forceNoFill="{true|false}" = decides weather FillItem of Gui will fill this place or not (example: forceNoFill="true")

Great, now you know how to implement a FreeSpaceComponent with a few lines. Next Component on the List is EventComponent.
