It's possible to create GUI elements in a table?

It's possible to create GUI elements in a table and use that to set's visible/invisible all the elements like that?

local example = { 
theButton = guiCreateButton(234,567,123,394,"Start!",true), 
theWindow = guiCreateStaticImage(234,234,234,234,"images/window.png",false) 
} 
  

I think that array isn't right but it possible to create elements in a table like this?

I tried to make like this, but got nil.

If the table is created outside any function, you will most likely get nil. Make the table global first and then create the elements in a function which is called by an event, like onClientResourceStart.

I created inside this:

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", g_RootE, 
function() 
-- array 
) 

I defined g_RootE = getResourceRootElement(getThisResource())

Use "resourceRoot" instead of "getResourceRootElement(getThisResource())". resourceRoot is a predefined variable doing just that.

Well, check the guiCreate.. function parameters. If relative is true, x, y, width and height must be values between 0 and 1.

table.insert? .-.

Like this?

local example = { } 
local guiElements = { 
           [1] =  'example = guiCreateWindow(-------------)', 
           [2] =  'exampletw = guiCreateButton(--------------)' 
} 
  
function createElements() 
          for i, elements in ipairs(guiElements) do 
             table.insert(example, elements) 
     end 
end 
addEventHandler('onClientResourceStart', resourceRoot, createElements) 

Sorry for noob lua '-'

Anyone? .-.

No, more like this

local window = guiCreateWindow ( ... ) 
local guiElements = { 
     -- Here we store the window element into the table you want 
    window = window, 
  
     -- Here we use window as the last argument so the button and label will be a child of the window. 
    button = guiCreateButton ( ..., window ), 
    label = guiCreateLabel ( ..., window ) 
  
    -- Moar elements. But keep in mind, you cannot use and element created here to another root. 
    -- So for example, you cannot create a tab panel and give the tab panel items in the table. 
}

} 
  

Ah Then, I have to create the GUI elements like yours and add elements like you said ( items on the tab panel ) out of the table, right?

[Deltanic]

Yes.

Thanks D:

I have to create gui's out of table and the children gui elements inside the table?

Edit: And making a table global, like this?

local guiElements = { } 

Sorry for being noob

No one helps?
