Fully Specified UILabel?

[jonathanq]

I've been happily using NGUI for about 6 months now and have UILabel open variables assigned all over my project. I recently downloaded the U3DXT iOS Native kit. It uses a similar naming convention for UILabel (U3DXT.iOS.Native.UIKit.UILabel.) and while I have yet to implement it - it is now causing Unity to throw up "BCE0004: Ambiguous reference 'UILabel': UILabel, U3DXT.iOS.Native.UIKit.UILabel." for every instance of my NGUI UILabel reference. It is causing my casual usage of NGUI's UILabel reference to no become ambiguous.

I need to replace all of my UILabel variables with a fully specified NGUI version of UILabel, but I do not know what that is.

Can someone help so I can isolate the UIBleeding?

There's not really an easy solution to this. One of the two packages needs to be in a namespace, so you can differentiate between the overlapping names.

I've advocated putting all of NGUI in a NGUI namespace earlier, but it's a bunch of work and it would break backward compatibility entirely, so it hasn't happened.

Alternatively, you have to refactor the name of one of the tools - I don't recommend NGUI's, since so many other files use the type.
