Several VGUI elements have a setImage function i.e. VGUI_ImagePanel (which also accepts a image in the constructor). Don'f forget to delete the image after you don't use it anymore (i.e. in the destructor). Use Visual Studio's Search in Files function (ctrl + shif + f) to find other functions in the hlsdk.
I think for examples you could look i.e. into those: hlsdk\multiplayer\game_shared\voice_status.cpp hlsdk\multiplayer\game_shared\voice_status.h and CHealthPanel in hlsdk\multiplayer\cl_dll\vgui_TeamFortressViewport.h The cl_dll also has a special CImageLabel class which is used in this tutorial: http://articles.thewavelength.net/300/ (don't forget you can set panel backgrounds to be transparent) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Drak" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Discussion of Half-Life Programming'" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2008 11:25 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] VGUI Hud (HL 1 SDK) > Thanks.
