Iconcycler disapears

[Fenloh]

Thanks a lot for all previous help!

but, as expected here is another one of my problems :)

I have specified a function that sets several fields and labels visible and invisible. That function works fine when i call it from an "onValueChanged" unfortunatly when i reopen the Charsheet all labels and fields are visible again.

I added an onInit() event and call the function from there.

The funny thing is, that the fields get updated correctly, but the Iconcycler is a goner. It gets even funnier... if i print a debug message and do not call the function, the iconcycler is also a goner.

Iconcycler is a template class that already uses the onInit function. When you set a function that already exists in the template, then you are overwriting the template version.

For example, in the code you posted, you are replacing the onInit function with a custom one. Therefore, the iconcycler onInit is not called, which reads in the bitmaps to use for displaying the iconcycler.

You should change the onInit function to this:



function onInit()
super.onInit();

updateWeaponTypeVisibility();
end
