CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Hi,
When I open the following layout file in CELayout editor I get the following error:
GUILayout_xmlHandler::startElement - layout loading has been aborted since no windowfactory is available for 'StaticImage' objects.

I use CELayout editor 0.6.1 stable release binaries.

The layout file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<GUILayout>
<Window Type="DefaultWindow" Name="LoginUI" >
<Property Name="InheritsAlpha" Value="False" />
<Property Name="UnifiedMaxSize" Value="{{1,0},{1,0}}" />
<Property Name="UnifiedAreaRect" Value="{{0,0},{0,0},{1,0},{1,0}}" />
<Window Type="StaticImage" Name="LoginUI/PoolImage" >
</Window>
</Window>
</GUILayout>

If I remove the Window Type="StaticImage" tag everything is fine. Here is the log from CELayout Editor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and welcome

It throws because you don't use the full mapping, using the 'look'. You should use "WindowsLook/StaticImage" for example, or replace "WindowsLook" with your own look name.

If you look at a .scheme file, you see the available full names (mappings) in the "windowType=" attributes.

HTH.

Hi, and welcome

Which 'look' / theme is this using? I ask because in the supplied themes, pretty much all the window types are prefixed by the name of the look, as such there is no "StaticImage" but instead "TaharezLook/StaticImage" or "WindowsLook/StaticImage".

So it's failing because you're attempting to create a window type it knows nothing about:

I've got a similar problem: I keep getting the singleton error and I think it's because the program can't find the schemes file, and I don't know why.

It stems from this command:

and here is my main function:

Here's the error I'm getting from the CEGUI.log file:

Any ideas as to why it would be doing this? I set the DataFilePath list to point to the WindowsLook.scheme file... I can provide the config.xml file too if need be

Hi and welcome ,

Do you pass your path data to Cegui somehow? Because your code implies that you expect Cegui to use the system path, which it doesn't.

Have a look at the constructors of the sample's base applications, for example this one:
http://crayzedsgui.svn.sourceforge.net/ ... iew=markup

And then search for 'setResourceGroupDirectory'.

HTH!
