CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

cegui# development is going to be taken over by the RealmForge project. They have brought the cegui# source code into their SVN tree, and have begun making some changes. I was planning on assisting in that effort, but I don't agree with some of the decisions that have been made on how to treat the A...

Aokis's post reminds me of a suggestion I was going to make. There is no real reason to output all those various different versions of size and position. If there is an easy way for you to do this, then I would suggest just writing out the MetricsMode, Size, and Position properties, or just the Metr...

1. AFAIK this does not currently exist. 2. You can query the Font to get the measurements for the rendered string. in fact, the function is names getTextExtent(). I believe that spannerman has attempted to do essentially the same thing and came up with a solution. You might want to look for his post...

I have a similar function for the C# port as well, although currently mine looks much more like ArmaDuck's. I think that I'll change it to be more like gcarlton's solution, and I'll make sure that the name is 'InjectMousePosition' before I commit it. I needed it for my current work on the plugin for...

Well, those changes sound small enough that they should be contained to just a few small files, so I am going to go ahead and update the online docs. The online reference will probably be down for at least an hour.

Edit: The online docs have been updated now.

With the upcoming merge of beta1 with all of its changes, I was wondering if it I should update the online docs now, or wait until after the merge. I have the api reference generated from the beta1-devel branch as of this morning, and am ready to put it up. If there are a few remaining interface cha...

Doesn't Ogre::Texture derive from Resource? If so, you can just cast that Resource* to a Texture*

how do you use absolute values for size/position of items? as in, being a fixed pixel value and not relative to resolution. Set the metrics mode to Absolute before setting the size/position. also, how do you use values relative to the bottom/right side of the screen, instead of the top/left? I don'...

It works just fine now thanks

A new version is online. Jwace81: this zip contains the files MFC42D.DLL and MVSCRTD.DLL, which should do the trick. Still a debug-build though. Creating a release build involves new compile- and linker problems and retesting. I wouldn't want to make you work too hard before your holiday ;) Unfortu...

Could you by chance post a release build of the project? It seems to want the VS6.0 debug libraries, which I don't have. Or is there a place where I can get the debug libraries even though I don't use VS6.0?

I'm glad to hear that you are back in action leed :) I have actually done a little bit of work on CEGUI myself starting with your last release. I have a working xml layout xml layout loading code in this thread (link) I have even taken it a step further an added the ability to bind gui events to fun...

Could you check/post the CEGUI.log file to see if there are any errors getting logged. That is usually a good source for tracking down problems.

J.W.

Sounds like you are making progress. I'm really looking forward to what you end up with.

I just tried getting the latest code from cvs, and had the same error, so cvs for this project may be down right now. If you can't get it from cvs, then there is the nightly snapshot.
