Example of drag and drop UI like the Sub Assemblies?

[Agathorn]

Hey everyone,

Can anyone point me to any source examples of how a plugin might implement a drag and drop UI? Specifically I want to be able to take a part in the VAB and drop it onto a UI element and do something with it. Similar to how the Sub Assemblies thing works.

You could maybe dig up the old subassembly mod's source?

I use that system for the futur version of the welding tool:

Enable the Drag and drop box if the editor have a part selected

GUI.enabled = null != EditorLogic.SelectedPart;
if (GUI.Button(new Rect(x, y, w, h), "drag here",_skinWindow.box))
{
      Func();
}
GUI.enabled = true;

Inside your Func(), use the EditorLogic.SelectedPart or a copy of it.

Thanks!

@NathanKell I didn't even realize the subassembly thing was a mod originally

That's how quickly you become forgotten... Glad it wasn't my mod
