CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

hello again !

in directx we can render our scene in two different more :
solid mode
wire fame mode

OK.

now i create few window and some controls and is rendering very good but if i want to switch to wire frame mode i see the GUI in solid mode and i can't view in wire frame mode .

in my opinion about this problem is in CEGUI Library itself ( i am not sure 100/100 )
i think the object (framewindow , button , ...etc) in CEGUI are not meshes and not contain any vertices , but they are just images loaded to device11 as texture and render theme .

example : the mesh in directx are vertices attach together with triangles

but there is another problem : if i use NVIDIA Parallel Nsight to analyse and debug the application i see lines and triangles that create the window and buttons ...etc !! this is mean that the object contain vertices

All of the things you posted are true, I am wondering why you are so surprised.

The windows are just series of quads (triangle pairs) that are textured... CEGUI itself probably resets the wireframe flag and renders solid, that's why it shows up in the NV tool but not when you switch wireframe on.

thanks for your reply

but why !!!

i think that i found the problem

look at the CEGUI source code at CEGUIDirect3D11RendererShader.txt

you will find something like this




i will change it and i will past the result

Is it really a problem though? Why do you need wireframe of your GUI?

Is it really a problem though?

i don't think that .

Why do you need wireframe of your GUI?

it's just a Coincidence , i render my scene in wireframe mode , i see all the object wires but GUI , so i ask this question
