CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Hello again...)
I have a little question...
Let's imagine, we have an app, controlled by our GUI, so, we have events from both direction - CEGUI send events to app through subscribers, and the question is - are there any provided facilities to notify CEGUI about app events (or only direct C++ calls)? For example we have a full GUI defined in Lua, we have an error in app and we want to show wnd in GUI in Lua...Main idea is to build GUI like a separate module, so it can be developed by 3d party, and our task is only handle events from GUI and send events to GUI...Are there any ideas?)

Hi there,

The only way to notify CEGUI of events is to call in via C++ or the Lua binding (or some binding of your own creation). I think any other mechanism we could supply would be difficult to provide in a way that would be expressive. You might consider a thin interface layer to provide such a thing that is suitable for your specific scenario(s) though.

CE.
