How to properly load and destroy layouts...?

I've been using CEGUI for a few days now...so far I love it.
I ran into a problem with the layouts. I have 3 layouts and I'm trying to switch between them when the user clicks on certain buttons, and I'm getting crashes which I believe are caused because events are still being generated (or proccessed) for windows after I've deleted them with WindowManager::destroyAllWindows.
What is the proper what to load a layout, release it, and load a new one?
TIA

I would use that to destroy the layout:
Code: Select all
Window * mRoot; // Your Main window
Window *mLayout = 0; // Your Layout Window
onButtonPressed(const CEGUI::EventArgs& e)
{
const WindowEventArgs& we = (const WindowEventArgs&)e;
switch(we.window->getname())
{
case BUTTON_NAME1:loadMyLayout(LAYOUT1_NAME);break;
case BUTTON_NAME2:loadMyLayout(LAYOUT2_NAME);break;
case BUTTON_NAME3:loadMyLayout(LAYOUT3_NAME);break;
}
}
loadMyLayout(const String& name)
{
if (mLayout) WindowManager::getSingletonPtr()->destroyWindow(mLayout);
mLayout = WindowManager::getSingletonPtr()->loadWindowLayout(name);
mRoot->addChildWindow(mLayout);
}
but it would be probably better to do it like this:
Code: Select all
Window *mRoot; // Your Main window
Window* mLayout1 = WindowManager::getSingletonPtr()->loadWindowLayout(LAYOUT1_NAME);
Window* mLayout2 = WindowManager::getSingletonPtr()->loadWindowLayout(LAYOUT2_NAME);
Window* mLayout3 = WindowManager::getSingletonPtr()->loadWindowLayout(LAYOUT3_NAME);
mRoot->addChildWindow(mLayout1);
mRoot->addChildWindow(mLayout2);
mRoot->addChildWindow(mLayout3);
onButtonPressed(const CEGUI::EventArgs& e)
{
const WindowEventArgs& we = (const WindowEventArgs&)e;
switch(we.window->getname())
{
case BUTTON_NAME1:displayMyLayout(1);break;
case BUTTON_NAME2:displayMyLayout(2);break;
case BUTTON_NAME3:displayMyLayout(3);break;
}
}
displayMyLayout(int i)
{
switch(i)
{
case 1: mLayout1->setVisible(true);
mLayout2->setVisible(false);
mLayout3->setVisible(false);
break;
case 2: mLayout1->setVisible(false);
mLayout2->setVisible(true);
mLayout3->setVisible(false);
break;
case 3: mLayout1->setVisible(false);
mLayout2->setVisible(false);
mLayout3->setVisible(true);
break;
}
}
I haven't test that but it could work
