CT_ACTIVETEXT

Introduction

The active text control behaves very similar to buttons. It shows up as regular text with the additional functionality that you can click and select it. The dialog's currently selected Active Text control will be underlined to indicate its status. By default, the first Active Text control is selected. When the mouse cursor hovers over an instance of this control, it will show up in the color defined in the colorActive property. It is also possible to show a clickable image instead of text.

If you need to show text and an image at the same time you can use CT_SHORTCUTBUTTON.

Notice: This control doesn't render the usually common colorBackground property and colorText is replaced with color.

  • For Arrowhead, this is not true. The properties are there, and it might be an attempt to standardise, or to account for pictures

Default Classes

Arma 3
AddOns: Classes need to be initialised first with class SomeClass;

Missions: Since Arma 3 v2.02 one can use import SomeClass; to initialise a class (see the import keyword).

In older versions, use "Default" call BIS_fnc_exportGUIBaseClasses; and paste the result into the description.ext.
