CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

My contribution was more to the effect of "you do not absolutely have to create the .font files but instead can use code". For each _new font_, which is either a .font file or created dynamically, will increase the memory consumption.

You should have a look at these:
http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/GameChatBox
http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/DynamicFont

ensureItemIsVisible() is one of the functions you are after. For example usages you may want to look at: http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/WidgetGalore http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/PseudoListbox http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/GameChatBox I'm not sure of the name of the others;...

Are you setting properties to the same value? This would kill performance as the Cegui cache cannot be used and would need to be recreated every time. Here's a concrete example of what I'm asking onProcessFrame() { String currentValue; for(int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)...

WidgetGalore shows the basic use of almost every widget available to Cegui. This should be a good starting point. There are also samples included with the Cegui distribution. Finally you could take a look at the various code snippets in the wiki. Since you are using Ogre, you may want to have a loo...

Yes, back when I was working on a drag and drop system. This feature was to handle the situation of dragging an item from a spellbook and dropping it on a toolbar. This required creating a copy of the spellbook item. And then I stopped having time and can't play anymore (i.e. program Cegui stuff). /...

This code should still work: void CloningSystem::copyProperties(CEGUI::Window* pSource, CEGUI::Window* pDestination) { CEGUI::PropertySet::Iterator itPropertySet = ((CEGUI::PropertySet*) pSource)->getIterator(); while (!itPropertySet.isAtEnd()) &#...

You could check out Image Magick for manipulating the image. Or maybe you want to render an animated image? Here's an example using Ogre to render a 3D mesh: CEGUI Build Dialog - CEGUI dialog which displays rotating 3D meshes on multiple buttons.

These two wiki entries may be useful to you: Formatted_Numeric_Data makes use of IBM's ICU to display values in various locales within Cegui. This includes the format of numbers (123,456.78 versus 123.456,78), currencies, local to/from GMT date and time conversions and other gooddies. There also has...

If I understand correctly, you want a row of images and a horizontal scrollbar to navigate through the images. In addition you also want these images to be dynamic, to possibly render these as 3D objects from Ogre. Well, you're in luck: CEGUI dialog which displays rotating 3D meshes on multiple butt...

You should have a look at Game Chat Box. That code allows you to use dynamic fonts (arial 10, 12, 16, etc, times new roman, etc).

There was a post with some code to wrap the text within a listbox text item. [need a link to that post]

A different approach would be to use a ListBox. Have a look at GameChatBox , a working chat window that also supports multiple font sizes. You should try to obtain a handle to the automatically created scrollbar and talk to it directly. Its "real" name is based on the name of your main wid...

I do not know.

The files exist only in the wiki and not within the svn nor the download distribution. You have to create the files as named and copy+paste the contents within those files.
