Title: UIGrid Layout issue (3.0.8f4) - Add+DestroyItems+add = overlapped items
Post by: John.Bergman on January 05, 2014, 07:46:36 AM

I create a grid with no initial children.

I add children to the grid list this (pardon the naming convention, I do a LOT of C++ code, so I try to keep things named consistently everywhere because otherwise it is too hard to manage all of the codebases (2+ million lines of code)

    public void Refresh()
    {
      string[] arrstrCharacterNames = new string[] {"John", "Johnny" };


      Transform oGridTransform = GlobalUtilities.FindChild("Grid", this.transform);
      UIGrid oGrid = oGridTransform.GetComponent<UIGrid>();

      //-- Remove any existing children...
      RemoveGridItems();

      //-- Iterate through the retrieved available character names for this User...
      foreach(string strCharacterName in arrstrCharacterNames)
      {
        //-- Create a button and add it to the grid containing the list of characters...
        GameObject oChild = NGUITools.AddChild(oGridTransform.gameObject, this.PlayerNameButton);
        SelectCharacterNameButton oChildSettings = oChild.GetComponent<SelectCharacterNameButton>();

        //-- Once the button has been added, set the character name accordingly...
        oChildSettings.CharacterName = strCharacterName;
      }

      //-- We are done adding the character names, have the grid reposition the items as needed...
      oGrid.Reposition();
    }

That works; I close the "window" by deactivating it, when I do, I also remove the children from the grid like this:

    private void RemoveGridItems()
    {
      Transform oGridTransform = GlobalUtilities.FindChild("Grid", this.transform);
      UIGrid oGrid = oGridTransform.GetComponent<UIGrid>();

      //-- Remove any existing children...
      List<Transform> lstChildren = new List<Transform>();
      foreach (Transform oChild in oGridTransform)
      {
        lstChildren.Add(oChild);
      }
      oGridTransform.DetachChildren();
      foreach (Transform oTransform in lstChildren)
      {
        oTransform.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        DestroyImmediate(oTransform.gameObject);
      }

      oGrid.Reposition();
    }

Looking in the scene, I can see the items are gone.

I re-activate the "window", and add buttons (using the same code); except now, the buttons are overlapped.  The two buttons appear as children and using the inspector everything looks ok.

Any idea how to correct this?

Add some Debug.Log statements to UIGrid.Reposition to see where it exits out early.

The following test seems to work as expected:

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3. public class Test : MonoBehaviour
4. {
5.         public GameObject prefab;
6.  
7.         void OnEnable ()
8.         {
9.                 NGUITools.AddChild(gameObject, prefab);
10.                 NGUITools.AddChild(gameObject, prefab);
11.                 NGUITools.AddChild(gameObject, prefab);
12.                 GetComponent<UIGrid>().Reposition();
13.         }
14.  
15.         void OnDisable ()
16.         {
17.                 for (int i = 0; i < transform.childCount; ++i)
18.                         Destroy(transform.GetChild(i).gameObject);
19.         }
20. }
