How to draw "Hello World"?

All I want to do is draw "Hello World" on the screen purely from code. No layouts or XML files. There shouldn't be a background or scroll bars. I just want "Hello World" by itself. Using the default font, color, etc. Use any coordinates you wish.
Can CEGUI do this? If so, can someone please post the code?

Have a look at Sample_FirstWindow; it creates a frame window.
Line 128 of Sample_FirstWindow.cpp contains:
Code: Select all
FrameWindow* wnd = (FrameWindow*)winMgr.createWindow("TaharezLook/FrameWindow", "Demo Window");Remove that line and those until the end of that function. You can then use this (slightly modified) snippet from Sample_Demo7.cpp to create the text:
Code: Select all
// create a static text with some information in.
StaticText* stxt = static_cast<StaticText*>(winMgr.createWindow("TaharezLook/StaticText", "Demo7/Window1/Text1"));
root->addChildWindow(stxt);
stxt->setMaximumSize(Size(1.0f, 1.0f));
stxt->setPosition(Point(0.5f, 0.1f));
stxt->setSize(Size(0.45f, 0.5f));
stxt->setText("Hello world.");
stxt->setFrameEnabled(false);
stxt->setBackgroundEnabled(false);
stxt->setHorizontalFormatting(StaticText::WordWrapCentred);
I'm assuming you are still using Cegui v0.4. If not then have a look at Widget Galore to convert the StaticText of v0.4 to that of v0.5.
