absolute window size

is there a way to specify an absolute window size (e.g. in screenpixels) so that the window isn't scaled if the resolution is changed?
and is it also possible to setup absolute positions for the widgets within the windows?

Yes to both questions.
Virtually all parts of the system use the 'UDim' concept which provides scale and offset components, to specify an absolute size or position you use the offset part of the UDim and set the scale to 0.
Code: Select all
// Position a window to pixel coordinates (10,20)
myWnd->setPosition( CEGUI::UVector2( CEGUI::UDim( 0, 10 ), CEGUI::UDim( 0, 20 ) ) );
// Set window size to 150 x 200 pixels
myWnd->setSize( CEGUI::UVector2( CEGUI::UDim( 0, 150 ), CEGUI::UDim( 0, 200) ) );

The fonts have an 'autoscaled' setting, if you turn this off the text will no longer rescale along with the vp.
You can do this within the font XML by changing the attribute part:
to
or in code by:
Code: Select all
// myFont is a ptr to the font object
myFont->setProperty( "AutoScaled", "false" );
