Tooltips on UIButtonKeys
« on: April 28, 2013, 05:10:34 AM »
Hello, I'am new to NGUI and looking for some help. I have disabled the mouse input and my menus are solely driven using the d-pad on an Xbox controller. I would like a tooltip or even a UIlabel to appear when the user navigates through each option/button on any panel.
Can I use UITooltip or is that for mouse input only? If I cannot is there a way for me to call a function when the UIButton is "highlighted" or on hover? I have tried using OnHover, however is seems to run once on highlighting the UIButton and then again when "leaving" the UIButton.

Many thanks for any advice offered

UITooltip is for mouse input, and so is OnHover. You will write your own custom logic that will watch UICamera.selectedObject for changes.

Many thanks ArenMook for your swift reply. I'm actually a modeller who has picked the short straw to learn how to code and provide a GUI. I have some experience coding Unity using Java but C# is completely alien to me. I appreciate you are not here to do it all for me  :) so i'll need to find a solution that is within my abilities. I was not too bad at unity's OnGUI stuff, but NGUI is so much slicker - once your up to speed. Anyway thanks again for your swift response, I'm sure i'll be posting more today  ;)
