MrxGuiShellLayout

Module: mrxguishelllayout.lua

Overview

The MrxGuiShellLayout module defines the layout and event handling for a GUI shell in the game. It sets up a main widget with child widgets, each configured with properties like position, color, visibility, and event handlers. The module also provides functionality to reinitialize the GUI layout.

Inheritance

Inherits from: none — base/utility module
Imports: mrxguishell, MrxGuiBase

Instance pattern

This is a stateless manager/utility module (no per-instance tables). It tracks the following key fields:

LocalWidgetList: A table containing the layout data for the GUI shell and its child widgets.
AddedWidgetList: A table to keep track of added widgets during initialization.

Functions

`ReInit()`

Reinitializes the GUI layout by removing any previously added widgets and then loading and adding new widgets from the LocalWidgetList. This function is used to refresh or reset the GUI when needed.

Events

Listens for custom event GuiInitialization to call MakeFullscreen on the background widget.
Listens for various other events like LobbyServerUpdated, LobbyServerAdded, ControllerInput, LobbyServerRemoved, and GuiGameStateChange through the imported mrxguishell module.

Notes for modders

Ensure that the ReInit function is called appropriately to refresh the GUI layout.
Customize widget properties by modifying the LocalWidgetList table before calling ReInit.
Be aware of event handlers and ensure they are correctly set up in the EventHandlers table for each widget.
The module uses the MrxGuiBase library to manage widgets, so any modifications should be compatible with its API.
