[Solved] Fire event from a hidden window

[fatmouse1984]

Hi everyone!

I have a button which is hidden.
I want to trigger mouse click event of the button.
I can not click ( also don't want to) a invisible button, is it possible to trigger ths button's on mouse click event?
I guess it must somehow like message in windows, just don't know where to send the message~

Well, i guess i have to use subclass to break the onmouseclick encapsulation.

You should be able to use fireEvent() http://static.cegui.org.uk/docs/0.7/cla ... 7983faee8e
You will need to create an instance of an appropriate Event Arg class for that (correct Event subclass). (See here for reference: http://cegui.org.uk/wiki/Event_reference )

I am not sure if hidden windows can fire events. If they can't, then just unhide, fireEvent, and hide again.

Did this solve the issue?

Yes, thanks, it solved my problem. Hidden wnd can also fire event.

Code: Select all

getColourRect()->fireEvent(Window::EventMouseClick, WindowEventArgs(getColourRect()));

I'm a fool, i tried to fireEvent on parent window and hope the click event to propergate to child yesterday.....
