StaticImage in code [solved]

[Jake]

I've been screwing around with integrating Ogre, OIS and CEGUI. I'm experimenting with different methods of creating widgets and have been successful using types defined in the TaharezLook scheme. I'd now like to try subscribing some handlers to a StaticImage, but cannot get the StaticImage itself to display. Here is the relevant code.

pTex is TexturePtr to a valid Ogre texture.

Code: Select all


   CEGUI::StaticImage * statImage = (CEGUI::StaticImage *)guiWindowMgr.createWindow("TaharezLook/StaticImage", "testImage");
   CEGUI::Texture* testTex = guiRenderer->createTexture(pTex);
   CEGUI::Imageset* rttImageSet = CEGUI::ImagesetManager::getSingleton().createImageset((CEGUI::utf8*)"RttImageset",testTex);
   rttImageSet->defineImage((CEGUI::utf8*)"BonusImage",
      CEGUI::Point(CEGUI::Vector2(0,0)),
      CEGUI::Size(testTex->getWidth(), testTex->getHeight()),
      CEGUI::Point(CEGUI::Vector2(0,0)));

   statImage->setImage("RttImageset", "BonusImage");



Thanks in advance

Try set BackgroundEnabled to false.
Maybe this help.

Xir.

ps.: Where you add your new StaticImage to a window?
myMainWindow->addChildWindow(statImage);

Thanks Xir,
I didn't add the StaticImage as a child to the main window. However, adding it alone didn't solve the problem. I have to manually set the height and width, which unfortunately makes the image take up most of the window. I'll keep working on it.

Here's the current state of it if you're curious.

Code: Select all


   CEGUI::StaticImage * statImage = (CEGUI::StaticImage *)guiWindowMgr.createWindow("TaharezLook/StaticImage", "testImage");
   
   CEGUI::Texture* testTex = guiRenderer->createTexture(pTex);
   CEGUI::Imageset* rttImageSet = CEGUI::ImagesetManager::getSingleton().createImageset((CEGUI::utf8*)"RttImageset",testTex);
   CEGUI::ushort tHeight = testTex->getHeight();
   rttImageSet->defineImage((CEGUI::utf8*)"BonusImage",
      CEGUI::Point(CEGUI::Vector2(0,0)),
      CEGUI::Size(testTex->getWidth(), testTex->getHeight()),
      CEGUI::Point(CEGUI::Vector2(0,0)));

   statImage->setImage("RttImageset", "BonusImage");

   rootWindow->addChildWindow(statImage);

   statImage->setHeight(128);
   statImage->setWidth(128);



128 is the height and width of the image, but it renders nearly full screen.

The MetricsMode for statImage needed to be set to Absolute. It's fixed now. Thanks for your help.

A further question. Now that I have the StaticImage working, I'm a little confused as to how I would change the appearance of the Window itself. Specifically I'd like not to have the TaharezLook frame/border around the image, just the image itself. Do I have to define a window factory in xml? Or since the factory would define a window that is simple an image, can I do it in code? Thanks

You can do it with set the "FrameEnabled" to false:
statImage->setProperty("FrameEnabled", "False");

And i think the width/height must be in the [0..1] range(like other values)...
If your image is in the top left corner(so its in the (0,0) position), then with the width(1), height(1) its exactly full screen.

Do some "scene" with the CELayoutEditor, save it, then see the saved code.

Thanks again, Xir. Works like a charm. Used the following to get what I needed.

statImage->setProperty("BackgroundEnabled", "False");
statImage->setProperty("FrameEnabled", "False");
