Trying to programmatically create ImageButton

[Jonas]

As the topic states I'm trying to programmatically create a TaharezLook/ImageButton, for a build menu. So far I've had an easier time creating a normal TaharezLook/Button and using text markup to insert an image, while the ImageButton doesn't show up at all. I have tried a lot of things but right now I'm at a loss as to where to look for info or what to try next.

The code as it stands, first for creating the ImageButton, then the normal Button:

Code: Select all

CEGUI::FrameWindow* ArenaLayer::createBuildMenu() {
   CEGUI::WindowManager& winMgr = CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingleton();
   CEGUI::FrameWindow* window = dynamic_cast<CEGUI::FrameWindow*>(winMgr.createWindow("TaharezLook/FrameWindow", "buildMenu"));

   {
      CEGUI::PushButton* button = dynamic_cast<CEGUI::PushButton*>(winMgr.createWindow("TaharezLook/ImageButton", "button"));
      //button->setProperty("NormalImage", "set:TaharezLook image:CheckboxNormal");
      //button->setProperty("NormalImage", "TaharezLook/CheckboxNormal");

      button->setProperty("Position", "{{0,0},{0,0}}");
      button->setProperty("Size", "{{0,64},{0,20}}");

      button->setProperty("NormalImage", "TaharezLook/CheckboxNormal");
      button->setProperty("HoverImage", "TaharezLook/CheckboxNormal");
      button->setProperty("PushedImage", "TaharezLook/CheckboxNormal");
      button->setProperty("DisabledImage", "TaharezLook/CheckboxNormal");

      window->addChild(button);
      //CEGUI::System::getSingletonPtr()->getDefaultGUIContext().getRootWindow()->addChild(button);
   }

   {
      CEGUI::PushButton* button = dynamic_cast<CEGUI::PushButton*>(winMgr.createWindow("TaharezLook/Button", "button2"));
      button->setText(std::string{ "X[colour='88888888']X[colour='ffffffff']X[image-size='w:32 h:32'][image='" } + TextureController::Instance.getCEGUIImageName(TileType::DEER) + std::string{ "']" });
      window->addChild(button);
   }

   VLOG(2) << "Created buildMenu";

   return window;
}

The resulting window:

The button you see in the window is the second Button, the one using text markup. The first button doesn't show up at all.

Any ideas or advice?

I've made quick test for imagebutton in 8.4, and it works and shows vertical scrollbar arrow just for testing purposes and by using standard imageset.

Code: Select all

CEGUI::PushButton *but = static_cast<PushButton*>(WindowManager::getSingleton().createWindow("TaharezLook/ImageButton"));

but->setPosition(UVector2(UDim(0.1, 0), UDim(0.1, 0)));
but->setSize(USize(cegui_reldim(0.2), cegui_reldim(0.2)));

but->setProperty("NormalImage", "TaharezLook/VertScrollDownNormal");
but->setProperty("HoverImage", "TaharezLook/VertScrollDownHover");

CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getDefaultGUIContext().getRootWindow()->addChild(but);

TaharezLook/ImageButton does not exist in CEGUI 0.8.4. I do not know where you got that idea from

[bomkallo]

Hmmm, strange. I download cegui from official website and it is cegui-0.8.4. The taharez scheme goes from:
..\CEGUI\cegui-0.8.4\datafiles\schemes which contains:

<FalagardMapping windowType="TaharezLook/ImageButton" targetType="CEGUI/PushButton" renderer="Core/Button" lookNFeel="TaharezLook/ImageButton" />

So what's wrong with my cegui then?

Sorry my mistake, a mapping with that name of course exists.
