Change panel background image with Lua

[dasfaker]

I want to change the background image of a panel, so I’ve tried
panel:getCanvas():setProperty(“uiPanelImageResource”, “Back2”), but it seems getProperty and setProperty are not available for Canvas.

Hello
did you tried getPropertyString I think yes but who knows

You can use the panel paint callback it works well and draw an image in it , repaint the canvas when you need you can set color changes as well

Yeah, finally I’m using the paint callback, thanks zeoka.

Hi,

sorry for bumping this thread. I also like to change the panel background image on a button press, but I don’t have a clue how to program that and where to start.

I would greatly appreciate, if someone could help me out here. How do I use the paint callback and where do I insert the script on the button?

cheers

The original post goes back a bit, but I also wanted to do this and searched for (what seemed like) hours through the source code until I finally found the solution:

lua function .def("getPanelEditor", &CtrlrPanel::getPanelEditor) in:

https://github.com/RomanKubiak/ctrlr/blob/de28dc3ad3591a5832f1e38ce8adabc9369b1011/Source/Lua/CtrlrLuaPanel.cpp


panel:getPanelEditor():setProperty("uiPanelImageResource","my_replacement_image",true)


Hope it helps someone!
