BasicPane

Base UI object with visibility and a maid. BasicPane provides three points of utility.

  1. BasicPane contain visibility API. It's very standard practice to use the VisibleChanged event and pass visibility up or down the entire stack. 
-- Standard visibility chaining
self._maid:GiveTask(self.VisibleChanged:Connect(function(isVisible, doNotAnimate)
	self._otherComponent:SetVisible(isVisible, doNotAnimate)
end))

  1. BasicPane contains a maid which cleans up upon :Destroy(). This just saves some time typing.

  2. Finally, BasicPanes, by convention (although not requirement), contain a .Gui object which can generally be safely reparented to another object.

Properties​

VisibleChanged​

</>
BasicPane.VisibleChanged: Signal<boolean,boolean>

Fires whenever visibility changes. FIres with isVisible, doNotAnimate, and a maid which has the lifetime of the visibility.

info

Do not use the Maid if you want the code to work in Deferred signal mode.

Gui​

</>
BasicPane.Gui: Instance?

Gui object which can be reparented or whatever

Functions​

isBasicPane​

</>
BasicPane.isBasicPane(value: any) → boolean

Returns whether the value is a basic pane

new​

</>
BasicPane.new(
gui: GuiBase?--

Optional Gui object

) → BasicPane

Constructs a new BasicPane with the .Gui property set.

SetVisible​

</>
BasicPane:SetVisible(
isVisible: boolean,--

Whether or not the pane should be visible

doNotAnimate: boolean?--

True if this visiblity should not animate

) → ()

Sets the BasicPane to be visible

ObserveVisible​

</>
BasicPane:ObserveVisible() → Observable<boolean>

Returns an observable that observes visibility

ObserveVisibleBrio​

</>
BasicPane:ObserveVisibleBrio(
predicate: function | nil--

Optional predicate. If not includeded returns the value.

) → Observable<Brio<boolean>>

Returns an observable that observes visibility

Show​

</>
BasicPane:Show(
doNotAnimate: boolean?--

True if this visiblity should not animate

) → ()

Shows the pane

Hide​

</>
BasicPane:Hide(
doNotAnimate: boolean?--

True if this visiblity should not animate

) → ()

Hides the pane

Toggle​

</>
BasicPane:Toggle(
doNotAnimate: boolean?--

True if this visiblity should not animate

) → ()

Toggles the pane

IsVisible​

</>
BasicPane:IsVisible() → boolean

Returns if the pane is visible

Destroy​

</>
BasicPane:Destroy() → ()

Cleans up the BasicPane, invoking Maid:DoCleaning() on the BasicPane and setting the metatable to nil.
