Problem with load layout

[lan]

I’m trying to load a new layout when the button is pressed. The codes are as follow...

wmgr.getWindow((CEGUI::utf8*)"MainWindow/ExpandMenu" )
->subscribeEvent(
CEGUI:: PushButton::EventClicked,
CEGUI::Event::Subscriber(&GuiApplication::handleMenu, this));

bool handleMenu(const CEGUI::EventArgs& e)
{
CEGUI Window* mExpandMenu =
CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingleton().loadWindowLayout(
(CEGUI::utf8*)"GuiDemo2.layout" );
return true;
}
It doesn't work. When it run, the layout didn't create and had an error. What did I do wrong? Causes or solutions are welcome.

hi,

give us the cegui.log file, coul'd help.

not sure, but by loading a layout like that (an entire one), it seem's you kill the layout you are working in, wich is bad.

Hi,

This is your error:

Exception: WindowManager::createWindow - A Window object with the name 'root1' already exists within the system.

Third line from the bottom. You are either trying to load your current layout again, or loading a layout with a same root-name. Maybe you did some copy/pasting?

Good luck!

Thank you for the reply. I found my mistake and its reason. I understand it’s because I press the button twice. There was no response in the first time I press the button (no new layout displayed) so I thought I need to press it again. So I did and found the error message (because the new layout is loaded already).

The problem is the new layout is loaded but why I don’t see it? Are there codes I need to include? Any opinions are welcome.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi,

you're almost there then

You have to make it visible by calling "System::setGUISheet" with the pointer to your new layout, like:

CEGUI::System::getSingleton().setGUISheet(CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingleton().loadWindowLayout(
(CEGUI::utf8*)"GuiDemo2.layout" ));

There can only be one sheet/layout visible at once.

Good luck!

Is it really impossible to display 2 layouts simultaneously? Couldn't it be done with child windows?
Thank you for your help

[lindquist]

loadWindowLayout just returns a window. Nothing special there.
You can set it as the GUI sheet, or you can add it as a child of your existing GUI sheet (or any other window)
