CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Thanks.

Is this forum defunct? Is there anywhere better to ask questions?

Dear all, I would like to create a 3-state checkbox widget in CEGUI, i.e. one which is checked, unchecked, or indeterminate to indicate use of a default defined elsewhere. The indeterminate state would probably look like the filled square in a 3-way checkbox in Windows. I've searched through all the...

Just to add: it's important that I be able to update the grid dynamically and frequently, inserting new rows at any position at any time, with minimum disturbance to the existing layout.

All, I'm currently reimplementing some GUI functionality from wxWidgets into CEGUI, and need to be able to reproduce the general look and behaviour of the grid in the image below. grid.png Specific things I need are the ability for cells to span multiple rows, columns or both, and for cells to have ...

@YaronCT: All working fine, thanks.

Andrew

I'd already removed them all.

Thanks very much for your assistance.

CEGUI rendering was just being done automatically, as per the default. As I mentioned, it was because of that that I hadn't really thought too hard about the sequence of rendering events. I hadn't even got as far as realizing that I could turn off the automatic rendering and do it myself. But anyway...

So, sticking in a call to: CEGUI::System::getSingleton().renderAllGUIContexts(); just before writeContentsToFile() seems to have done the trick. I have to admit I'd not really given much consideration to when the CEGUI interface was being rendered, since it was all just happening automatically. Read...

My own code is controlling the main loop so that I can impose different arbitrary rates for simulation steps (typically 1000/s minimum) and rendered frames (60/s maximum). So I'm calling m_root->renderOneFrame() when it's time for each frame. Recall that it seems to work fine with OpenGL in fullscre...

This probably won't give you any new information, but it's always good to have something to look at :) Screenshot using Alt + PrtScn and pasting into Paint: ssgui.png What I'm getting from the writeContentsToFile() call: ssnogui.png The slide-up GUI console is designed for XGA-spec industrial touch ...

Update regarding OpenGL: I just discovered that although the CEGUI user interface is present in the screenshot from OpenGL in full-screen mode, it is in fact absent in windowed mode. Using Direct3D9 it is absent in both full-screen and windowed mode.

@YaronCT: apologies for the late reply—like the CEGUI team I was on vacation myself last week! Anyway, yes, unless I'm missing something it is the same render target. The Ogre::RenderWindow is created in two different ways depending on settings: m_renderWindow = m_root->initialise(true, s_systemTitl...

No problem. Thanks for your time so far.

Andrew

Apologies for the missing information. It's Windows 7, and the problem was noticed using Direct3D9. Your question prompted me to try it with OpenGL, and there it works fine, with the UI included in the screenshot. Is there anything I can do to make it work with Direct3D9, which is our preferred rend...
