Trouble finding windows in 0.6.2

[kripken]

I've run into the following problem when migrating from 0.6.1 to 0.6.2. When I do "layout:getChild" (from Lua) to get the edit box listed here, it fails:

Code: Select all

<GUILayout >
    <Window Type="DefaultWindow" Name="Root" >
        <Property Name="UnifiedMaxSize" Value="{{1,0},{1,0}}" />
        <Property Name="UnifiedAreaRect" Value="{{0,0},{0,0},{1,0},{1,0}}" />

        <Window Type="MainLook/FrameWindow" Name="Login/MainWindow" >
            <Property Name="Text" Value="Log In" />
            <Property Name="UnifiedMaxSize" Value="{{1,0},{1,0}}" />

            <Property Name="TitlebarEnabled" Value="True" />
            <Property Name="CloseButtonEnabled" Value="False" />
            <Property Name="SizingEnabled" Value="False"/>

            <Property Name="UnifiedAreaRect" Value="{{0.3,0},{0.1,0},{0.7,0},{0.4,0}}" />


            <Window Type="MainLook/Editbox" Name="Login/MainWindow/Username" >
                <Property Name="Text" Value="" />
                <Property Name="MaxTextLength" Value="20" />
                <Property Name="UnifiedAreaRect" Value="{{0.45,0},{0.23,0},{0.9,0},{0.37,0}}" />

            </Window>

[...]


I can get "Login/MainWindow", the parent window, but "Login/MainWindow/Username" fails as if the window doesn't exist. Now, if I move that editbox up one level - in parallel to "Login/MainWindow" - then I can find it. So, the problem appears to be that children beyond a certain level are not accessible, somehow.

Note that the exact same file works fine in 0.6.1. Has how the getChild/getWindow functions operate changed between 0.6.1 and 0.6.2? (I don't see a mention in the changelog, but perhaps I'm not looking for the right thing)

Hi,

Yes the behaviour has been restored to it's original intended function (looking for directly attached children only). A new function Window::getChildRecursive has been added for the recursive / 'deep search' cases.

Bug Fix: The Window::getChild(const CEGUI::String&) function was incorrectly made recursive after the 0.5.x series of releases. This fix restores the correct behaviour and adds a Window::getChildRecursive(const CEGUI::String&) function for the highly expensive recursive case. See: http://www.cegui.org.uk/mantis/view.php?id=237

HTH and sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the quick response, that was indeed the issue. A quick replace (of around 100 changes ) and now things appear to work ok.
