DIconLayout Replacement

#1

Do you hate making grids in DIconLayout because of how annoying it is to use and how nothing ever lines up properly? Well, I made a better grid panel fueled by this hatred. It is based on DScrollPanel, so you don't need to parent it to one, and you can style the vbar directly.

Example 1

local frame = vgui.Create("DFrame")
frame:SetSize(800, 500)
frame:Center()
frame:MakePopup()

local grid = vgui.Create("ThreeGrid", frame)
grid:Dock(FILL)
grid:DockMargin(4, 4, 4, 4)
grid:InvalidateParent(true)

grid:SetColumns(3)
grid:SetHorizontalMargin(2)
grid:SetVerticalMargin(2)

for i=1, 10 do
local pnl = vgui.Create("DPanel")
pnl:SetTall(100)
grid:AddCell(pnl)
end


Example 2

local grid = vgui.Create("ThreeGrid", frame)
grid:Dock(FILL)
grid:DockMargin(4, 4, 4, 4)
grid:InvalidateParent(true)

grid:SetColumns(3)
grid:SetHorizontalMargin(2)
grid:SetVerticalMargin(2)

for i=1, 10 do
if(i == 4) then grid:SetColumns(4) elseif(i == 9) then grid:SetColumns(2) end

local pnl = vgui.Create("DPanel")
pnl:SetTall(100)
grid:AddCell(pnl)

end

its just to make positioning, etc. easier and less repetitive, so you can focus on making your design good without worrying about cancer setpos and setsize

I seem to be having an issue that It only works when parenting the grid to a DFrame, whenever I parent it to a DPanel, the cells dont stretch across the panel. Looks like this: https://gyazo.com/76d38c34495943f5a08394e46faafc2f

The panel doesn't have the proper size when you're adding the items, if its docked then call :InvalidateParent(true), I'll fix it soon either way
