Description

Registers a panel for later creation via vgui.Create.

Arguments

1 string classname
Classname of the panel to register. This is what you will need to pass to vgui.Create's first argument.

This must be unique, including classnames of entities due to internal usage of baseclass.Set.

2 table panelTable
The table containing the panel information.
3 string baseName = "Panel"
Classname of a panel to inherit functionality from. Functions with same names will be overwritten preferring the panel that is being registered.

Returns

1 table
The given panel table from second argument

Example

Defines a Panel named PanelName that derives from DButton

local PANEL = {} PANEL.ColorIdle = Color(255, 0, 0) PANEL.ColorHovered = Color(0, 255, 0) function PANEL:Paint(w, h) local color = self.ColorIdle if self:IsHovered() then color = self.ColorHovered end surface.SetDrawColor(color) surface.DrawRect(0, 0, w, h) end vgui.Register("PanelName", PANEL, "DButton")

Example

Defines a Panel before adding its methods

local PANEL = vgui.Register("PanelName", {}, "Panel") function PANEL:Paint(w, h) surface.SetDrawColor(255, 0, 0) surface.DrawRect(0, 0, w, h) end
