CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

As I already did for Ogre I am working to have CEGUI in Debian as a native, official package. Preliminary packages have been submitted to the NEW queue for approval and while we wait or the ftp-masters to approve them you can download CEGUI 0.1.1 packages from: http://people.debian.org/~fog/cegui/ H...

Detect the metrics mode in use and only dump one set. When dumping Window hierarchies, do not dump the auto-generated child windows with '__auto_' in their names. Both were implemented from the start (you haven't looked at the code, eh? :D ) I've not had a chance to examine the code in your project...

Yesss. isDefault() would help a lot in reducing the XML file size (there is no easy way to do that from the "outside" because code has no access to the Property objects, just to the Strings.)

I am working at the properties dialog right now; I'll be back when finished.

As said before in other threads I am spending a little time on a cross-platform editor based on CEGUI only. It is not easy (writing it in Python/Gtk would have allowed me to progress much more rapidly) but it is just another way to experiment with CEGUI. Anyway.. Sources are available from my SVN re...

Also, the "mark all threads read" was invaluable to me. And while we are at it, with the new status icons it is a little bit less easy to tell which threads are new.

I know about scriptkid GUI editor and I would be glad to have a look at its source code (hint). Anyway, I needed a "small" project to test CEGUI and maybe (if I don't throw away everything) a working editor for Linux (scriptkid is win32 only from the screenshots.) I'll finish the serialize...

With regards to the Window pointer, you can get this out of the EventArgs argument. For most window events you can cast the EventArgs to a WindowEventArgs, this struct has a 'window' field that (usually) contains the Window that generated the event (exceptions are noted in the docs). It would be re...

As I said in that other thread I am experimenting with CEGUI by writing a very simple GUI designer. After some hours of work I reached a stage where I need to dump windows (and their properties) to XML. I hate to write code usefull only in my own work so I am thinking about writing in a way that can...

Thank you very much for this discussion. I'll now move (as promised) to a technical thread.

Thank you very much for pointing me to the roadmap, that cleared up almost everything. I have some very generic toughts about it that I'd like to share with you. If I understand the roadmap well it seems that CEGUI is going to be a full-fledged "generic" GUI, i.e., not explicitly targetted...

You answered almost all the points. Now, from the writer-of-look-modules point of view I am asking myself if you plan to extend the interface used to initialize the look modules. I can see a look module that loads its own XML definition file (the theme) but how do you tell him which one to load? Als...

This is my first post and I am currently using version 0.1.0 of CEGUI. Also, I am quite experienced in working with UI (text-based, GUI and web) but I never worked with "game" UI so take what I say with a grain of salt. Three days ago I started investigating CEGUI and to test it I started ...
