CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

My biggest issue is using live widgets. I'm using a StaticImage for the container (and for getting a border) but I have to disable the live widget so that it will not take events. This works great except widgets don't always look their best when disabled. I was hoping I wouldn't have to create a new...

How will Falagard handle this in relation to your patch? Will they be compatible?

Yes, I am aware... But to use that would ruin my fun.

Actually, I'm looking for an OS independent, dynamic environment for (mostly myself) learning how CEGUI works and acts.

Some people play polo, some golf or video games... I'm quite partial to Lua.

Is there any thoughts into creating a region system similar to Windows API HRGN?

It is relatively simple to implement into the core with PointInRgn() in Windows but does anyone know of C++ API to achieve this efficiently under any OS?

Have you tried EventActivated and EventDeactivated on either all of your widgets or the (doubt it would work as your widgets are children) root sheet? I never tried MouseClicked but MouseButtonDown and MouseButtonUp work properly on the root for me as of 0.3.0. Another thing that might be effective ...

I think I got around that by using a different overloaded constructor and passing NULL as the configuration file when I created System with a scripting module.

Compiler and version? dependency library versions? Anything else you can provide?

Have you traced it in debug to see what file and line triggers the first error?

I'm working on an IDE in CEGUI to create CEGUI interfaces. This is primarily for my next project but I think others will find it useful too. The current layout is similar to a Visual Basic IDE. The toolbox is created by an array of Widget names with custom icons. The components on the "forms&qu...

Please see my post: http://www.cegui.org.uk/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=537&forum=5&post_id=4673#forumpost4673 The example is by Lua Script but it shows you how it can be done on a per button basis. You could always subclass and create default images in the const section as well. Ho...

Awesome, thanks. It was mostly a case of not understanding the menu system. I was assuming that I needed to access the lists directly.

This is how I set the image properties for a button. local button = WindowManager:createWindow( "WindowsLook/Button", name .. ".New" .. element ) setProperties( fw, button, CEGUI.Absolute, 8.0 + x * 26, 76.0 + y * 26, 24, 24) button:setProperty("NormalIma...

CEGUI 0.3.0 was released with the new menu system but it isn't implemented in LuaScriptModule (ItemListBase?). I'm not up to par with tolua++ and the menus system. I don't know where to begin to do it on my own at this point. Has anyone added this to the lua scripting yet or gotten a menu created in...

Make sure your "Debug Working Directory" is set to where your Binary is located. Also, ensure that the "datafiles\" directory is in the same directory as your exe. Another thing you can try is to build your project then run the EXE that it created directly. (Not through the devel...

What is the politically correct way to include LuaScriptModule? Is the standard in CEGUI to add ScriptingModules/CEGUILua/LuaScriptModule/include to the include paths or be releative? I want my app to be able to be compiled "out-of-the-box" if at all possible. Short of: #include "../S...

I'm not sure how many people would actually care but an up to date game or application should take full advantage of all current operating system benefits. Here's Window XP's themes in MSVC++ 2005. Please note: Typically InitCommonControls (not Ex) is used. I found that it may not be friendly with C...
