Title: Widgets Relative Size
Post by: Dima on March 12, 2014, 08:19:41 AM

Hello there!

I've been using NGUI for a while now but there are some things I just don't understand.
The most important is the fact that some widgets can't be set with a relative size (eg.: Label width, Panel).

Is there some informations I am missing ?

My issue, in other words, is if I set my UILabel width, it won't scale from a resolution to another. It will just stick to the pixels I have set. If I want it to be relative, do I have to code it myself or is there a method I didn't see in NGUI ?

Thank you,
Dima.

To set relative size you need to use anchors: http://www.tasharen.com/forum/index.php?topic=7013.0

Turn on anchoring, set what it should be relative to, and then choose how it should be relative. To get percent-based movement, use Custom anchoring as mentioned in the documentation I linked above.

Hey,

Well I didn't update NGUI to 3.X yet. That is why I can't use Anchor to stretch my label width automatically (but I can position them).
The update is scheduled but didn't get enough time to make the changes to our current project. Sorry that I asked a question about an issue you solved with an update.

Seems new UIAnchor can position widget's bounds relatively to other widgets, thus stretching automatically the anchored widget. Fantastic.

Thank you
