Re: [hlcoders] vgui event question?
Ok, got it working, but it was not easy because I did not know I had to add the DECLARE_CLASS_SIMPLE macro in my class declaration to use the MESSAGE_FUNC_PARAMS macro. If that is accurate, you may want to change your documentation to reflect it because it shows a class using the message macro without the declare macro and I don't believe that will compile. http://www.valve-erc.com/srcsdk/VGUI2/vgui2.html Thanks Alfred.
