CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Hello, imagine the windows in my application are spread within an area of say 10,000x10,000 . Now I have the default viewport of say 800x600. I want to be able to move this viewport around, so I can see the different windows. Furthermore I'd like to zoom out, at the most extreme level displaying all...

Ohhhh damnit. I tried that before, but it made my application crash. Now I realize why... The Moved/Sized events are fired now when I do addChildWindow(). They didn't do this when the NonClient flag wasn't there. I should've debugged further I guess

Thanks again, CrazyGeniusEddy

Hello, simple question: How do I make the close button in a FrameWindow of the vanilla skin appear in the titlebar instead of somewhere below it? I tried modifying the looknfeel, even copied and pasted the FrameWindow code from the TaharezLook and WindowsLook, but that only made the button appear on...

Thanks for looking into this and adding the note!

This just got me too. At least the stock VC9 release libraries are built with the _DEBUG flag enabled. Maybe the 0.7.1 release should be fixed or the download page should get a note like "release mode libraries are unusable, please build from source".

Hey CrazyEddie, Thanks for your reply! Regarding 3) I mean it wasn't a noop before and now it is. Not important at all. Regarding the render targets, yes I was using frame windows with the default looks, so I got the situation that you describe. But now that I know how this part works, I can use it ...

Ok, I tried creating lots of windows and this causes tons of render targets to be created. I also noticed that resizing a window which uses a render target is sluggish. Tried setting setUsingAutoRenderingSurface(false), but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Oh, and a last question. Say I create 1000 windows. Will CEGUI create a render target for each of them?

Hello, I've upgraded to cegui 0.7.1 from 0.6.2. In the process I had to rewrite the renderer module so it would use my own renderer. Upgrading to the new system went quite smooth, except for three issues: Issue 1) Antialiased text blends over the background. --- Here's a screenshot: http://www.dr-co...

Thanks for your answer. It took me some time to get back to this. I managed to compile cegui on vc9 in 64-bit mode (had to compile FreeType 64-bit as well). I've only built ceguibase, ceguifalagard_wr and ceguixercesparser, no image handlers (since I don't need them and I'm not keen to build all the...

Hello,

are there any plans to make a 64-bit version of cegui? I am especially interested in an MSVC 9.0 64-bit binary.

Thanks for your help. I guess this is a step in the right direction, but it doesn't quite work. The window layout is not affected by these calls at all, probably because they only affect imagesets and fonts internally somehow.

Hello, Right now I am using a single effect file to render the whole gui. Sometimes it was nice if I could specify different effects (mainly pixel shaders) for different windows. I'm using a custom renderer and the addQuad methods do not have a parameter which tell the window from which this quad or...

Hello, I run into this situation quite often: I am using relative coordinates so the gui works at different sizes and resolutions. Somtimes the gui consists of circles and I set relative their size to e.g. (0.1, 0.1). When the circle is displayed it doesn't appear as a circle, but as an ellipse. Thi...

Oh, coolies - I'll stay tuned!

And I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you (and the other guys) for all the passion, time and devotion you put into this project. Every time I am using CEGUI I am amazed by this masterpiece.
