get GUI children

[Captain Cody]

Any way to list a GUI elements children? I'm trying to make a script that automatically converts GUI into DX gui using presets I have made, but I cannot find how I would go about listing a GUI elements children as to automatically convert them all.

Or even better, any way to list all the GUI from a certain resource?

Maybe like that?

addCommandHandler( 'gui', function ( _, gui, res ) 
    for k,v in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( 'gui-'..gui,  getResourceRootElement(getResourceFromName ( res ) )) ) do 
        outputChatBox ( guiGetText ( v ) ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

> gui .

You're wrong, try it.

[Captain Cody]

How exactly would I use this? Can you give an example

You can't get all GUIs, except if make a table like that :

GUIs = { 'window', 'button', 'edit' } -- etc. 

You can use it like this:

getElementsByType ( 'gui-' ) -- gui-button, gui-window, etc.

Oh wow I didn't know about that, thank you.

If you want to get GUIs from certain resource you should be use getElementsByType.
