There are a couple of topics on setting up your own ScriptModule, but most of them seem to be to do with LUA, and I don't want to use that. There is one here that looks very similar to what I want, but it is a bit different and doesn't have enough info for me to get mine working.
I want to basically handle ALL events from all gui elements that I set up an Event element for in my layout file with 1 routine. I should then be able to deduce what event was fired from this routine and take action accordingly. The reason I want to do this is that I want to pass the event information out to another program, and so having info about any events that occur would be great.
To do this I thing I need to set up a custom command interpreter similar to this article in the wiki: http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/ ... tingModule
However, for me I have set this up and am not getting any events triggered. I have the event in my layout file attached to a button. I am getting the following error in my CEGUI.log:

I have the classes as per the above wiki link in my source for classes "ScriptingModule" and "CommandInterpretor" [sic] set up as follows:
Code: Select all
/// Callback for a event command
class CommandInterpretor
{
public:
CommandInterpretor(const std::string& event_name, const std::string& subscriber_name)
: evt_name(event_name), sub_name(subscriber_name)
{}
bool operator()(const CEGUI::EventArgs& args) const
{
//std::cout << m_name ;
OutputDebugString( "MyApp: EVENT_NAME: " );
OutputDebugString( evt_name.c_str() );
OutputDebugString( "MyApp: EVENT_SUBSCRIBER: " );
OutputDebugString( sub_name.c_str() );
const CEGUI::WindowEventArgs* argument = dynamic_cast<const CEGUI::WindowEventArgs*>(&args) ;
if (argument)
{
// we have the window that triggered the event
///std::cout << " " << argument->window->getName() ;
OutputDebugString( "MyApp: WINDOWNAME: " );
OutputDebugString( argument->window->getName().c_str() );
}
//std::cout << std::endl ;
return true ;
}
std::string sub_name ;
std::string evt_name ;
};
/// Specialized scripting module for CEGUI
class ScriptingModule : public CEGUI::ScriptModule

};Now I realise I haave probably done something really obvious but I have spent a coupleof hours looking for what I have done wrong, and can't find it. I am fairly new to C++ (having only used C) and so OOP is still somewhat unfamiliar. I am trying to learn gradually, but I wondered if someone might take a look and see what is wrong? It may be a problem with the "module" setup in the below section of code, but I don't know what do do other than set up a new instance of "ScriptingModule" and pass it to the system using CEGUI::System::getSingleton().setScriptingModule( module )... please have mercy
Here is the init code where I am setting things up:
Code: Select all
Init()
{
using namespace CEGUI;
try
{
new CEGUI::DefaultLogger();
CEGUI::DefaultLogger::getSingleton().setLoggingLevel(CEGUI::Informative);
SetWindowLong(pimpl->d_window, GWL_WNDPROC, (long)Win32AppHelper::wndProc);
pimpl->d_renderer = &CEGUI::Direct3D9Renderer::bootstrapSystem(m_device);
SetResourceGroupStuff();
// setup default group for validation schemas
CEGUI::XMLParser* parser = CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getXMLParser();
if (parser->isPropertyPresent("SchemaDefaultResourceGroup"))
parser->setProperty("SchemaDefaultResourceGroup", "schemas");
CEGUI::SchemeManager::getSingleton().create( GuiScheme );
CEGUI::WindowManager& winMgr = CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingleton();
CEGUI::Window *sheet;
sheet = winMgr.loadWindowLayout( GuiLayout );
system::getSingleton().setGUISheet( sheet );
ScriptingModule *module = new ScriptingModule;
CEGUI::System::getSingleton().setScriptingModule( module ) ;
}
catch (CEGUI::Exception e)
{
OutputDebugString( "MyApp: Init() -> bootstrapSystem FAILED" );
OutputDebugString( e.what() );
MessageBox(NULL, e.getMessage().c_str(), "Error initializing the GUI", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR | MB_TASKMODAL);
}
}Here is where I am injecting inputs, etc:
Code: Select all
CEGUI::System& guiSystem = CEGUI::System::getSingleton();
Win32AppHelper::doWin32Events(idle);
DWORD thisTime = GetTickCount();
float elapsed = static_cast<float>(thisTime - d_lastFrameTime);
d_lastFrameTime = thisTime;
// inject the time pulse
guiSystem.injectTimePulse(elapsed / 1000.0f);
try
{
guiSystem.renderGUI();
}
catch (CEGUI::Exception e)
{
OutputDebugString( "MyApp: EndScene() -> renderGUI() FAILED: " );
OutputDebugString( e.what() );
}Here is my layout file (I set an Event element on the Quit button):
Code: Select all
