Starting with CEGUI

[pabloa]

Hi I need some help to start with cegui. I am using it with ogre. I only have two examples. I would like to undertand it but I dont know how, for me the API is not enought I need more examples. Could you email me more?

hi,

If it's not one of you'r two example, you should look at Beginner Tutorial 6: CEGUI from the ogre wiki.

Hope it help.

my two examplos are which came with ogre and the wiki example.
I believe the example must have more explanations for newbee people. PLease email me your examples!!!

[martignasse]

unfortunatly, i haven't example for you.

be warned, CEGUI and ogre aren't trivial software, and if you can't deal with example in the wiki, it's maybe just because you haven't enough knowledge.

Yeah, I dont have knowledge because I have just start with CEGUI

In the code from de demo_gui from ogre appear :

Code: Select all

CEGUI::WindowManager& wmgr = CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingleton();
        wmgr.getWindow((CEGUI::utf8*)"OgreGuiDemo/TabCtrl/Page1/QuitButton")
         ->subscribeEvent(
            CEGUI::PushButton::EventClicked,
            CEGUI::Event::Subscriber(&GuiApplication::handleQuit, this));

The philosophy is that I create one window pointer where is possible paint cegui element. then I believe that we want obtain the window with the name OgreGuiDemo/TabCtrl/Page1/QuitButton I dont know what is that and why that hierachy relation is.

Maybe that question is stupid but it is hard to me do the correct question in other lenguaje

the getWindow method of WindowManager just returns a window that has already been created. Either through XML layouts or just from C++ code.

The naming "Some/Window/With/Slased/Name" is just a name. The slashes are'nt used for anything internally, but are often used to clarify relationship between windows.
