drawing controls with fixed pixel size

[muhkuh]

Hello,

I want to draw a checkbox with fixed absolute pixel size. I use:

cbox->setMetricsMode(Absolute);
cbox->setXPosition(100);
cbox->setYPosition(100);
cbox->setWidth(100);
cbox->setHeight(10);
cbox->setText("glow");
cbox->setSelected(m_bGlow);

and
System::getSingleton().getDefaultFont()->setAutoScalingEnabled(false);

The problem is that the checkbox image itself (displaying the checked/unchecked status) is scaled relative to the resolution of the root window.

What to do?

I found this to be doing what I wanted:

ImagesetManager::getSingleton().getImageset("TaharezLook")->setAutoScalingEnabled(false);

But is this the way to do it as thought by the lib writer?

Yes, this is a valid thing to do; though be aware that all rendered imagery from that imageset will look smaller at higher resolutions and larger at lower resolutions.

CE.
