Firstly I would like to thank CEGUI devs for continued support for their users and work on this great library . I guess I have a simple question but can't solve it by myself... I would like to convert CEGUI::Texture to my native DirectX texture format - LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE9. How could I do this? This is how I get the CEGUI::Texture which interests me:

Code: Select all

CEGUI::ImagesetManager::getSingleton().get("My Imageset Name")->getTexture();

cast to Direct3D9Texture, use method getDirect3D9Texture()

Thanks for answer! The wierd thing is that this class CEGUI::Direct3D9Texture doesn't seem to exist at all. This is how its definition looks like in CEGUIDirect3D9Renderer.h:

Code: Select all

// Start of CEGUI namespace section
namespace CEGUI
{
class Direct3D9Texture;
...

I downloaded the latest CEGUI as well but it looks pretty much the same there. Please don't say that those classes are still unimplemented . I can't even cast it:

Code: Select all

dynamic_cast<CEGUI::Direct3D9Texture*>(CEGUI::ImagesetManager::getSingleton().get("Game").getTexture())->getDirect3D9Texture();

becouse compiler doesn't let me and says:

Code: Select all

 error C2680: 'CEGUI::Direct3D9Texture *' : invalid target type for dynamic_cast

Are you sure you have included the file that actually defines Direct3D9Texture? The file you listed just forward declares it.

You really need to learn how to work your tools, especially grep.

ehh... Sorry for my dumbness . I have already got used to having whatever I need in CEGUI already included :O, probably due to the long break I had from programming . Thanks a lot for quick help!
