[Question]GFX Add Scrollbar to windows

[Targor]

Hello Modding Community,

I uploaded a fairly popular Mod to the Steam Workshop which raises the limit of core planets via edicts as one wants, if a player wants to micromanage everything.
This works without problems with one exception: Manual resettlement. Since you can only resettle pops of your core planets, PDX never suspected needing a big windows for this, so everything above 10 planets gets cut of in the manuel resettlement dropdown menu. Can anyone help me add a scrollbar to the dropdown menu? My attempts resulted in CTDs.

Thank you!

Hi,
It depend how the file is structured, if you already have a gridBoxType inside a containerWindowType that's quite simple to add.
However if you don't have the containerWindowType so far I've ctd too in trying to create one.
I think that we broke some link for the gridBoxType wich is now inside another object.
The problem is that I have no idea where the GUI functions are defined or refered to because I think that would be the solution.

I've post for the same problem:

I did it! I'm not quite sure how or why, but here's what I did.

Original (manual_resettlement_view.gui)

  expandedWindow = {
         name = "expanded_window"
         position = { x = 10 y = -300 }   
         show_position = { x = 10 y = 65 }
         show_animation_type = decelerated
         hide_animation_type = accelerated
         animation_time = 200
         size = { width=530 height=350 }   
         verticalScrollbar = "right_vertical_slider"
         margin = { top = 7 bottom = 7 right = 6 }
         
         background = {
           name = "bg"     
           quadTextureSprite = "GFX_subwindow_tile_plain_solid"
           position = { x = 0 y = 0 }
         }
         
         gridBoxType = {
           name = "elements"
           position = { x = 30 y = 9 }
           size = { width = 190 height = 320 }
           slotsize = { width = 186 height = 32 }
           max_slots_horizontal = 1
           format = "UPPER_LEFT"
         }

Modded, only changed both size values to 500 and slotsize to 25.

      expandedWindow = {
         name = "expanded_window"
         position = { x = 10 y = -300 }   
         show_position = { x = 10 y = 65 }
         show_animation_type = decelerated
         hide_animation_type = accelerated
         animation_time = 200
         size = { width=530 height=500 }   
         verticalScrollbar = "right_vertical_slider"
         margin = { top = 7 bottom = 7 right = 6 }
         
         background = {
           name = "bg"     
           quadTextureSprite = "GFX_subwindow_tile_plain_solid"
           position = { x = 0 y = 0 }
         }
         
         gridBoxType = {
           name = "elements"
           position = { x = 30 y = 9 }
           size = { width = 190 height = 500 }
           slotsize = { width = 186 height = 25 }
           max_slots_horizontal = 1
           format = "UPPER_LEFT"
         }
       }

Result:
