Help! Trying to make a DesktopX Object
Monday, July 1, 2002 by JDavidHarper | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
All-righty, let's see if I can explain this without pictures.... OK, I have an object that I am trying to design in DesktopX. When I click the object, I want it to "slide" out, revealing the functionality of my object. Now, I have already created the images for it, and the animation is fine. I just need to know how to have two mouse-away states. I think. Here's a little more detail of my object.
State one
(transparent)(Button)(Other Buttons, seperate Object)
State Two
{Button)(Functionality)(OtherButtons, seperate Object
The idea is that the button looks like it is attached to the other buttons, but when you click it, it slides out with the functionality that I need. Now, I originally tried having the opening button as a seperate object, but I can't figure out how to tell it that I want it to disappear when the slider goes out (the slider object has a copy of the button on the end), and I can't figure out how to make it make the button re-appear when the slider slides in.
I know that was probably ridiculously unclear, but if you can figure out what I need, would you mind helping?

I tried, and it didn't seem to work. Although I might just not understand what I'm supposed to do. It seemed to have no effect at all.
