Beginner needs help with his first Window

[beuschl]

Hi

I'm new here and started to use CEGUI yesterday. I have read all beginner tutorials and now I want to render one gui window within my engine

Tehrefore I copied the code from the tutorials/samples and successfully rendered a "Hello World" window. As a next step I created a simple LAYOUT file with the layout editor, but wenn I want to add the layout file to my root window I get the following error

Unbehandelte Ausnahme bei 0x773bb727 in Brute-Engine.exe: Microsoft C++-Ausnahme: CEGUI::InvalidRequestException an Speicherposition 0x002fc570..

Here is the code:

Code: Select all

BruteGUI::BruteGUI(void) : m_pGUIRenderer(CEGUI::Direct3D10Renderer::create(BruteGlobals::g_D3DDevice))
{
      CEGUI::Direct3D10Renderer      &m_pGUIRenderer;
      CEGUI::DefaultResourceProvider   *m_pGUIResourceProvider;
   CEGUI::Window* myRoot;
   
   CEGUI::System::create(m_pGUIRenderer);
   m_pGUIResourceProvider = static_cast<CEGUI::DefaultResourceProvider*>(CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getResourceProvider());

   m_pGUIResourceProvider->setResourceGroupDirectory("schemes", "../Content/GUI/Schemes/");
   m_pGUIResourceProvider->setResourceGroupDirectory("imagesets", "../Content/GUI/Imagesets/");
   m_pGUIResourceProvider->setResourceGroupDirectory("fonts", "../Content/GUI/Fonts/");
   m_pGUIResourceProvider->setResourceGroupDirectory("layouts", "../Content/GUI/Layouts/");
   m_pGUIResourceProvider->setResourceGroupDirectory("looknfeels", "../Content/GUI/Look/");

   CEGUI::Imageset::setDefaultResourceGroup("imagesets");
   CEGUI::Font::setDefaultResourceGroup("fonts");
   CEGUI::Scheme::setDefaultResourceGroup("schemes");
   CEGUI::WidgetLookManager::setDefaultResourceGroup("looknfeels");
   CEGUI::WindowManager::setDefaultResourceGroup("layouts");

   CEGUI::FontManager::getSingleton().create("Commonwealth-10.font");
   CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().create("VanillaSkin.scheme");

   CEGUI::System::getSingleton().setDefaultFont( "Commonwealth-10" );

   myRoot = CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingleton().createWindow( "DefaultWindow", "root" );
   CEGUI::System::getSingleton().setGUISheet( myRoot );

   myRoot->addChildWindow (CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingleton().loadWindowLayout ("test1.layout"));         // Here I get the error
}



And here is my layout file test1.layout

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<GUILayout>
    <Window Type="DefaultWindow" Name="root">
        <Window Type="VanillaSkin/FrameWindow" Name="testWindow">
            <Property Name="UnifiedPosition" Value="{ {0.25, 0}, {0.25, 0} }" />
            <Property Name="UnifiedSize" Value="{ {0.5, 0}, {0.5, 0} }" />
            <Property Name="Text" Value="Hello World!" />
        </Window>
    </Window>
</GUILayout>


I hope you can help me, because I really don't know whats wrong with the code.

Either catch the exception and tell us what's in it OR post the log.

ok good tipp with the exception

At first I got the message, that a Window with the name "root" already exists. Therefore I deleted the line <Window Type="DefaultWindow" Name="root"> of the test1.layout file
Now I get another Exception

GUILayout_xmlHandler::startElement - layout loading has been aborted since no WindowFactory is available for 'VanillaSkin/FrameWindow' objects.

I don't know what to do now. Did I forgot something to intialise?

edit: ok, if I change the code to the TaharezLook instead of the VanillaSkin, everything works fine! But maybe it would be good to know why my posted code doesn't work with the VanillaSkin

1st: read this http://www.cegui.org.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3351

2nd: Can you post the log?

The window type is 'Vanilla/FrameWindow' not 'VanillaSkin/FrameWindow'.
