Targetware: Customizing the User Interface
Widget Type: Display
Displays are used to display text generated by the game, not by the user interface designer. Depending on the function number chosen, a display might show the player a list of available servers, a list of players online, or show a text briefing for a scenario, mission, team, or aircraft unit.
Supporting Double-Clicks
Making a display double-clickable is very easily. In the "function = x" line, list the display function you want shown, then add a comma-separated list of button functions you want to happen if the user double-clicks on a row in the display. For example: "function = config All, show EditWin". In this case, the display would show a list of all config settings, and when the user double-clicked one, the widget named "EditWin" would be displayed.

This display is used to show a user a text briefing for the mission they just selected. It uses a generic paper-like background which is 50% transparent, so that the player can see through it to whatever is showing in the background.
