CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Hello!

I have an Window with an image, loaded from an layout. Now I would like to change the image on using a LPDIRECT3DBASETEXTURE9 that I created on the fly using a RenderSurface ingame. How do I set set the image to the CEGUI::Window?

Also I have another question. Feels stupid to ask about it but I honestly can't find anything about it. How do i Simply load an image from the hardrive, I mean, without using layouts, schemes or whatever. I was looking for something like "LoadImage("image.png");

Kind Regards!


EDIT: SOLVED:

This is my code atm:

LPDIRECT3DBASETEXTURE9 xD3DTexture = TVManager::getSingletonPtr()->m_pCTVInternalObjects->GetTexture(iTextureID);

CEGUI::Direct3D9Renderer * pD3DRender = &CEGUI::Direct3D9Renderer::create(TVManager::getSingletonPtr()->m_pCTVInternalObjects->GetDevice3D());

CEGUI::Texture * pGUITexture = &pD3DRender->createTexture((LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE9)xD3DTexture);

CEGUI::Imageset* tempImageset = &m_pGui->GetImagesetManager()->create( "previewImage", *pGUITexture );
tempImageset->defineImage("previewImage", CEGUI::Point(0.0f,0.0f), CEGUI::Size( 512.0, 512.0 ), CEGUI::Point(0.0f,0.0f));

std::string tmpString = "set: previewImage" + std::string(" image:") + "previewImage";
m_pPreviewWnd->setProperty("Image", tmpString.c_str());

It turns up black though

About loading images, I think CrEGUI images might abstracted to imagesets. Check this recent thread for a similar question and a possible solution, and some bonus forum drama:

So is it solved, or not solved? If not, can you post your CEGUI.log as mentioned in the Forum Guidelines; this way we know what version/environment you are using (so we can in/exclude known bugs, etc.). Also, please use the [ code] [/code] tags so that code/logs/etc. sections of your post are easier to distinguish/read. As far as why your texture is all black, the only code you've shown is that of creating and assigning a blank texture - since you've not populated the texture with any color data, that is probably why it is black.

CEGUI assumes the texture is RGB or RGBA and you have to tell CEGUI which one it is. Make sure you select the right pixel format! If you fed the texture with something else you have to convert. There is a patch adding support for more pixel formats but AFAIK it hasn't been committed yet.

Seriously, who needs a theater when you can have CEGUI forums!!
