hello again !

i have question about CEGUI declare out of the function body ,

for example in CEGUI Example you see something like this

Code: Select all


bool function()
{
  CEGUI::Direct3D11Renderer &myrender = CEGUI::Direct3D11Renderer::bootstrapSystem   ( Device->Get_Device () , Device->Get_DeviceContext());         // declare inside the function 

.....................
..............

WindowManager &wmgr= WindowManager::getSingleton();             //wmgr delare inside the function too 

Window* myRoot = wmgr.createWindow( "DefaultWindow", "root" );         //myRoot delare inside the function also !
FrameWindow *F = (FrameWindow*)wmgr.createWindow("TaharezLook/FrameWindow", "Demo Window");            //FrameWindowr declare inside the function!
......................


}

So try Something like this

Code: Select all


Direct3D11Renderer &myrender ;
WindowManager &wmgr ; 
Window* myRoot ;
FrameWindow *F ;
bool function()
{

myrender = CEGUI::Direct3D11Renderer::bootstrapSystem   ( Device->Get_Device () , Device->Get_DeviceContext());           //myrender delare inside the function !

.....................
..............

wmgr= WindowManager::getSingleton();             wmgr delare inside the function too !

 myRoot = wmgr.createWindow( "DefaultWindow", "root" );          myRoot delare inside the function also 
F = (FrameWindow*)wmgr.createWindow("TaharezLook/FrameWindow", "Demo Window");           FrameWindowr delare inside the function!

i get this error

'myrender' : references must be initialized
'wmgr' : references must be initialized

but if i change the declaration like this

Direct3D11Renderermyrender ;
WindowManager wmgr ;
Window* myRoot ;
FrameWindow *F ;

i cant initialize at all

i hope that you revive my message , so please any help for this topic
thank you !

I suggest you to read something about what references and pointers are and what are they used to. You obviously lack C++ skills (no offense intended) as this is a very easy problem to solve.

thank you

i solved the problem like this

Code: Select all

typedef CEGUI::Direct3D11Renderer &myrender ; 

bool function

{
myrender render =  CEGUI::Direct3D11Renderer::bootstrapSystem   ( Device->Get_Device () , Device->Get_DeviceContext());
}

everyday i see new thing in c++ ( wow it's aamzing language )

Hehe, you will soon discover that this is not what you wanted

but it's best not to spoil the fun

You actually want pointers in this case IMO
