CloseButtonEnabled inside WidgetLook

[Jacky_J]

I'm trying to add CloseButtonEnabled as a property to my FrameWindow looknfeel element, however CEGUI.log is giving me:

Exception: WindowManager::getWindow - A Window object with the name 'MainWindow__auto_closebutton__' does not exist within the system

I can add it to the .layout file just fine, but i would rather add it to the .looknfeel as to reduce redundancy. Is it possible to do this?

Thanks

Hi Jacky_J,

welcome to the forums

Where exactly did you add the property line? I tried myself and added this line to the Windowslook/FrameWindow:

<Property name="CloseButtonEnabled" value="False" />

as the last property right before this line:
<NamedArea name="ClientWithTitleWithFrame">

And i got no errors of whatsoever... By default the button is enabled.
Which version of cegui do you use?

Good luck!

Yeah, i tried putting the line in different places within the element with no luck. It's weird because

<Property name="SizingEnabled" value="False" />
<Property name="RollUpEnabled" value="False" />

both work but when i try to put CloseButtonEnabled in there it doesn't recognize it.

I'm using CEGUI 0.4.1 with falagard skinning.
Anyway, I'm sure it's something simple. Here's the relevant code:

Thanks again.

I think this is an "order of operation" type bug in, at least the 0.4.x series, code. Basically what that means is that I believe that CEGUI is trying to initialise the properties before the child windows are created - so at that stage the close button does indeed not exist.

I have a feeling that this has been fixed in later versions of the code - though am by no means certain, since I have not tested it.

If it is such a bug in the system, then until we come out with a fixed version, the only solution, unfortunately, is to apply the property to each window in the layouts
