CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks!

Can each and every of those named properties be animated as well?

(last one for today...)

Sorry guys but I can't seem to find sources for the advanced string rendering anywhere. Would you care to help me ?

What (if any?) properties of look and feel can be changed programmatically ? Can I change the label color on a pushbutton at runtime ? How would I do that ?

CEGUI 0.7.7

Is GridLayout class (http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/GridLayout) now obsoleted by GridLayoutContainer in the main API ? If not how are these two related to one another ? Is there an example on how to use the GridLayoutContainer ?

OK. I got the answer I wanted and I don't feel the need to start a discussion about differences between professional software and GNU/Linux (and that's coming from a guy who spent quite a few years on debian then gentoo then ubuntu ).

How are you going to do support for your users with no logs? My answer to this question is rather obvious: Have you ever come across a professionally written app that needs to have it's GUI operations logged ? Wouldn't that indicate the devs aren't confident that their GUI layer is stable enough to...

How do I turn the logging off? Is there a simpler way other than to subclass the logger with some null logger implementation?

Ok. Got it to work. Basically CEGUI doesn't set one of the render states in beginrender(). The "host" game is tinkering with that state but it's not accounted for in the CEGUI renderer.

The blue background of TaharezLook windows is very translucent almost fully see-thru.

- is it normal?

- how can I decrease the translucency of that background ? Should I modify the look and feel file somehow ?

Because CEGUI DirectX renderer alters the device's render state, transform, FVF and what not without backing it up I would like to ask if you would you happen to have a piece of code that saves all that and then restores the original state after CEGUI finishes rendering ? Hope it's not too much to a...

Thanks for the answers!

It turns out that with all these objects so tightly coupled with each other I need to destroy the "system object" and initialize it from scratch with all the singletons/managers.

Accessing the d_renderer is no good anyway as it's a reference not a pointer so I don't think it can be reinitialized.

Wonder how this lib would go about rendering the GUI in a multi-monitor environment.... guess that's simply not supported, right? Unless you put all of it on one monitor.

Problem is you cannot send the new device to the system object you need to create a new system which in turn recreates all the managers hence I'll need to reload everything, right ?
