CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Thanks for the response. Yup your response was indeed useful. Its good to know that TextItems are not typically created programmatically. I do still need to know, however, how to get the width of the string. We need to be able to get width and height in order to manage the placement of the string wi...

I'm creating a GUI programatically. In general I'm able to create and place widgets where I want them. I am having difficulties placing CEGUI::TextItems. Assuming that I have just created the TextItem and have a pointer to it textItem, then I immediately set its text using setText: textItem->setText...

I know this is really outside the context of the CEGUI platform, but I'm really not sure where to post this. I have been using a fairly buggy version of the CEGUI layout editor (e.g. crashes a lot). Is anyone actively supporting the development of this layout editor? When I click on "about"...

This question is more of a software architectural question. In my original test application I had one window with a couple of text widgets. For this case it was a relatively simple matter to capture the keyboard event and then to test a couple of CEGUI::Editbox's to see if they had input focus and ...

I'll do my best to put something together that you find useful.. this will be a couple of days, but i will take the time. The first drop will be focused on Ogre + Cegui source builds in VC7. On the subject of lua/tolua... tolua++ is at version 1.0.91 http://www.codenix.com/~tolua/ lua is at 5.1 http...

I've got a similar concern. I build both Ogre and CEGUI from source. The Ogre source distribution comes with 0.3.0 CEGUI. I downloaded the latest 0.4.1 CEGUI source and built that with the latest Ogre source. I am looking to start using LUA, and am not sure what to expect in terms of issues... Any/a...

I'm keen to use LUA with CEGUI all on an Ogre platform. I've seen the use of LUA in World of Warcraft and I think its an awesome way to go. Is there any concern about using LUA with CEGUI? Is LUA+CEGUI+Ogre being used by enough ppl out there? In other words would you expect that most of the bugs hav...

Ok. While sitting on a plane crossing the atlantic ocean I got the CEGUI 0.4.1 source code built and integrated with the latest source build of Ogre. I was not interested in simply installing CEGUI binaries or Ogre binaries. If anyone is interested I will go ahead and put my "lessons learned&qu...

Ok. Its been a week or so... but I'm back to this. Your suggestion that I use hasInputFocus() worked just fine. This question is more of a software architectural question. In my original test application I had one window with a couple of text widgets. For this case it was a relatively simple matter ...

Thank you for the reference. I did see this Wiki page prior to my post. My first response was "hmmm this seems to assume that I am installing the SDK for Ogre/CEUGUI - i.e. pre-built binaries". I'm in fact building both Ogre and CEGUI from source. In spite of the fact that I'm building fro...

Thanks for the clarification... sounds like the "focus check" should do it for me.

I'll try it in the morn!!

I'm looking to anybody that uses both Ogre and CEGUI for some advice relative to the cleaneast way to integrate CEGUI 0.4.1 into Ogre3D. I build both from source without problems. When I try to link CEGUI 0.4.1 into my Ogre apps I get a DLL_NOT_FOUND error when I try to execute the app.. the app nev...

The answer to your question is YES!! The log file does show some errors for just the properties that did not seem to be working. Entire Log File content follows (I've highlighted a couple of lines that are showing errors - what do these errors mean): 16/02/2006 12:25:23 (InfL1) +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+...

Thanks for responding I can understand delays :). I will check the log. Hopefully the log will also show me which version of CEGUI I am using!! I'm actually not sure that it is 0.4.1 since I am using the Sample that comes bundled with the Ogre build. An aside... I've recently tried to download and b...

I have keyPressed and keyReleased methods defined. Within keyPressed I execute: bool rtn1 = CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectKeyDown(e->getKey()); bool rtn2 =CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectChar(e->getKeyChar()); Within keyReleased I execute bool rtn = CEGUI::System::getSingleton().injectKeyU...
