handle several buttons with only one event subscriber

[rogerdv]

I have a toolbar with 10 buttons. I would like to have a single event function to handle all of them, but I cant find how to tell o the subscriber which button generated the event. Is this possible?

Hi,
a click handler receives an EventArgs which can be casted to a WindowsEventArgs, which has a window member pointing to the clicked window. You can for example use its name to identify it.

Sampe code:

Code: Select all

bool MyApp::handleToolbarClick(const CEGUI::EventArgs& e) {
  String* buttonName = static_cast<const WindowEventArgs&>(e).window)->getName();
  // Do anything
  return true;
}


HTH.

By me it didn't work, the name is always invalid.
