Hello...
Is it possible to make a layout with 2 or or layout??..
For example: I have layout_1, layout_2 and layout_3 and I create a layout_4= layout_1 + layout_2 and another layout_5=layout_1+layout_3.
Salu2...

Yes, but with the caveat that you need to avoid name clashes (maybe by use of a naming prefix).
You include a layout as content of a Window in another layout via the LayoutImport tag, which takes Filename, ResourceGroup and Prefix attributes.
Example:
Code: Select all
<GUILayout>
<Window Type="DefaultWindow" Name="layout_4_root">
<LayoutImport Filename="layout_1.layout" Prefix="layout_4_root/" />
<LayoutImport Filename="layout_2.layout" Prefix="layout_4_root/" />
</Window>
</GUILayout>and
Code: Select all
<GUILayout>
<Window Type="DefaultWindow" Name="layout_5_root">
<LayoutImport Filename="layout_1.layout" Prefix="layout_5_root/" />
<LayoutImport Filename="layout_3.layout" Prefix="layout_5_root/" />
</Window>
</GUILayout>Note that I believe CELayoutEditor is not currently aware of this system, so loading such a layout and resaving will result in different XML between the original and saved versions (the saved version will explicitly include all windows rather than use the imports).
CE.

Yes, that's true. Thanks for the heads-up on this, i've raised a ticket:

Great Eddie!....It's exactly what I need, but I like the hard way to do it, I use gedit to make the layout .
Thanks!...

I have working differents layout, but I have a problem with ZOrderChangeEnabled property. Is it possible that the property does not work between layout?? Because when I put the property in false and I do a mouse click to the parent layout, the child layout disappear.

I am not sure what exactly goes wrong, but a hierarchie in a layout is just relative. As soon as a layout is loaded, the concept of layout is lost in Cegui and Z ordering takes into account all currently windows in the WindowManager.
HTH.
