How to render window with texture?

[makofierce]

Hi.

I am trying to put a cegui texture directly into a window, via:
(myWindow->getGeometryBuffer()).setActiveTexture( (myImageset->getTexture()) );

It's just a blank... what extra code is needed?

Thanks in advance.

I think a GeometryBuffer (noob here) is used to draw 3d geometry. Perhaps an StaticImage is better to draw something to a window. I'm not exactly sure what are you trying to do tho.

If you wanna try the StaticImage approach you might want to take a look at the samples (all the samples with the space background use a StaticImage to draw it).

Setting the texture on a GeometryBuffer will not draw anything, it just sets the texture to use for subsequently added geometry. Also, if the window is not 100% under your control, then it's highly likely that any geometry you add will get erased during the next rendering pass.

To have a window draw a texture you can either use a StaticImage as already suggested, or you could create a simple WidgetLook just does minimal rendering, or create a Window subclass that can draw the texture directly.
