CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

I wanted to make a menu with only letters, something like this:



I thought about creating a FrameWindow, and leave it with the 0.0 Alpha, and Alpha texts for 1.0f
But how do I turn the text to buttons?
And how to fix the framewindow nobody move around or change its size?

Thanks

Use a DefaultWindow and put static text widgets inside. React to EventMouseClicked. You could alternatively use Button widget and alter it's looknfeel.

Thanks

I'm using OgreTray, in looknfeel the Static Text is:


How can I remove the button image that is behind the Static Text?

Thanks

via FrameEnabled property, set it to false on your instances of it.

EDIT: I guess this could be the default setting for 0.8 for StaticText as most people seem to always disable the frame.

Thanks Kulik

And how to fix the framewindow nobody move around or change its size?

setSizingEnabled and setDragMovingEnabled... But unless you really need something from FrameWindow, I would just use DefaultWindow... You will also have to disable rollup, etc..

To execute an action on the button I'm doing this:




And function CEGUI_PushButton_Exit:


I tried to execute the action PostQuitMessage(0) directly in CEGUI::Event::Subscriber but I could not, no way?

This statement is useless without details. You need to explicitly state what you have already tried; eg did you verify that CEGUI_PushButton_Exit was called? I can only assume that you are not injecting any input. I have to assume this, because you did not state one way or another. Have you read the tutorials, specifically Injecting Inputs? Also, I would suggested reading this article before seeking help. It will help you help us to help you

Sorry!


I tried only putting the function PostQuitMessage(0) in CEGUI::Event::Subscriber this way:



I read the article Injecting Inputs, but not found something that did not need to create a function to perform

I know it's wrong, i read the doxygen:
http://cegui.org.uk/api_reference/class ... cec3103b2e
But I can not find an alternative

Code: Select all

bt_exit->subscribeEvent(CEGUI::PushButton::EventClicked, CEGUI::Event::Subscriber(PostQuitMessage(0)));

This will not work because the signature of PostQuitMessage does not match the signature required by CEGUI::Event::Subscriber. In otherwords, the subscribing function must match this signature: bool function(const CEGUI::EventArgs& args).

You should be fine using the snippet you posted above, eg:

bool CEGUI_PushButton_Exit(const CEGUI::EventArgs &e)
{
   PostQuitMessage(0); //Quit the Game :(
   return true;
}


However, for this function to be called CEGUI has to know that the user has clicked on the appropriate button. The only way for CEGUi to determine if this button has been pressed, is if you call injectMousePosition / injectMouseButtonDown whenever you detect mouse input.

That was my doubt, and was answered

As for the code that I showed, it works and the button is performing the action perfectly. My question was whether I need to create a function

Thanks
