fast documentation for starters

[Elric]

Hi,

I am very very short on time and I need to learn doing a main menu and simple in game menus in 1 or 2 days. I have some experience with CEGUI from Ogre basic tutorial 7. (initializing cegui, creating widget, extra viewport...)

Right now I am quick going through the beginner guides and my destination is http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/The_Main_Menu and http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php? ... nuAndPopup.

Any more advices for these tasks?

Hi,

this may come in handy if you wish to play with TaharezLook xml files:

Also here when it comes to dealing with the input:

Good luck.

For my money, those beginner guides, along with the article on resource group setup, are probably the best 'fast track' for CEGUI (I'm not saying that just because I wrote them, either!). This is not to say that they could not be polished a little more, but the information contained therein is pretty much the 'essentials'.

That being said, CEGUI definitely has a learning curve for many people (while others seem to take to it fairly easily).

CE.
