need help Handling CEGUI events

[jed]

Hi Guys, I'm having trouble getting event handling to work. I also set up event hanlders for mouseEnter and MouseLeave but none get called? All these things display fine.

[code]CEGUI::WindowManager& wmgr = CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingleton();
wmgr.getWindow("Spellbar")->subscribeEvent(
CEGUI::Window::EventMouseClick,
CEGUI::Event::Subscriber(&Spellbar::handleMouseClick, this));

from my .layout file:
<GUILayout>
<Window Type="DefaultGUISheet" Name="root">
<Window Type="DefaultGUISheet" Name="Spellbar">
<Property Name="Position" Value="x:0 y:.85" />
<Property Name="Size" Value="w:1 h:.2" />
<Window Type="TaharezLook/StaticImage" Name="Spellbar/background">
<Property Name="MetricsMode" Value="Absolute" />
<Property Name="Position" Value="x:0 y:0" />
<Property Name="Size" Value="w:600 h:68" />
<Property Name="Image" Value="set:MainScreen image:Spellbar" />
<Property Name="FrameEnabled" Value="false" />
</Window>
</Window>
</Window>
</GUILayout>[/code]

Any ideas whatelse I need to do?

try changing this line:

Code: Select all

 CEGUI::Event::Subscriber(&Spellbar::handleMouseClick, this));

to this:

Code: Select all

 CEGUI::Event::Subscriber(Spellbar::handleMouseClick, this));

That's how I do it...
If this does not work, I'll look more into the event system. This is'nt the first time trouble like this is posted...

No it still doesn't get any events.

I looked at trying the latest CEGUI in cvs since it seems like a lot has changed but I don't see an Ogre renderer there? Is there an easy way to get the currrent cvs version to work with ogre?

[lindquist]

The Ogre renderer has been moved outside of CEGUI and into Ogre itself instead.

Thanks I got it working. Stupid mistake on my part.

jed,

If you happen to still be reading this forum, could you please post what your solution was? I am now having the same problem and came across this post. I just found ceGUI and am trying to implement it into a game that I have been working on. My layout and everything loads, I get the event registered with no errors now, but my handler never gets called. I am currently only trying to implement a handler for MouseEnter.

Thanks for the help.

During GUI setup:

Code: Select all

wmgr.getWindow("btnSingle")->subscribeEvent(CEGUI::ButtonBase::EventNamespace+"/"+CEGUI::ButtonBase::EventMouseEnters,CEGUI::Event::Subscriber(EventMouseOver));
   

And the handler:

Code: Select all

bool EventMouseOver(const CEGUI::EventArgs& e)
{
   SoundManager->PlaySound(g_iGameSounds[MENU_DRAGOVER]);
   return true;
};

I have set a breakpoint in the handler, but it never gets called. Also, I am injecting inputs properly as the cursor moves and the buttons highlight when moved over.

Okay, found my problem. I was making the event subscription way too complicated. I changed:

Code: Select all

wmgr.getWindow("btnSingle")->subscribeEvent(CEGUI::ButtonBase::EventNamespace+"/"+CEGUI::ButtonBase::EventMouseEnters,CEGUI::Event::Subscriber(EventMouseOver));

to

Code: Select all

wmgr.getWindow("btnSingle")->subscribeEvent("MouseEnter",EventMouseOver);

It works fine now!

BTW, CrazyEddie, great piece of software! Once I get this all figured out, I would be interested in helping you write tutorials to make the learning curve less steep.

Any and tutorials should now be done via the wiki - and we're most grateful for all efforts in this area.
