My Effect Not Work Why !!

Postby belkacem » Wed Jul 27, 2011 10:58

Hi again !!

today i finished my classes to create any controls using cegui , now i want to create effect like demo7 ( OK .... the same effect :wink: :wink: )

so i read to source code and i copy the same effect to my project to test it ,

i understand that the effect must be the same RenderEffect class ( members and functions ),

and the effect must registered at the system like this

Code: Select all

RenderEffectManager::getSingleton().addEffect<MyEffect> ( "EFFECTTEST");


i run the application but my window has no effect even if i move it .


i think i need to call
update
function in my loop to apply the effect ..........is that true ??!
if yes ; what i should pass in RenderingWindow parameters , i try to pass Framewindow but i get error

excuse me but i am bad understand this RenderingWindow class , any help
the source code

Code: Select all

class MyEffect : public CEGUI::RenderEffect
{
public:
    MyEffect();

    // implement required functions from RenderEffect interface.
    int getPassCount() const;
    void performPreRenderFunctions(const int pass);

How have you created the Falagard mapping/Window for your effects frame window?

Code: Select all

 // Now we make a Falagard mapping for a frame window that uses this effect.

 WindowFactoryManager::getSingleton().addFalagardWindowMapping(
     "WindowsLook/EffectFrameWindow",    // type to create
     "CEGUI/FrameWindow",                // 'base' widget type
     "WindowsLook/FrameWindow",          // WidgetLook to use.
     //"TaharezLook/FrameWindow",          // WidgetLook to use.
     "Falagard/FrameWindow",             // WindowRenderer to use.
      "EFFECTTEST");                    // effect to use.
...

    void createRenderEffectWindow(CEGUI::Window* parent)
    {
       CEGUI::WindowManager &wmgr = CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingleton();
        CEGUI::Window* EffectsWindow;

        EffectsWindow = (CEGUI::FrameWindow*)wmgr.createWindow("WindowsLook/EffectFrameWindow", "MyEffectsFrameWindow");
//(CEGUI::FrameWindow*)wmgr.createWindow("TaharezLook/EffectFrameWindow", "MyEffectsFrameWindow");
        EffectsWindow->setText("Effects");
        parent->addChild(EffectsWindow);
        EffectsWindow->setPosition(CEGUI::UVector2(cegui_reldim(0.05f), cegui_reldim( 0.05f)));
        EffectsWindow->setSize(CEGUI::USize(cegui_reldim(0.56), cegui_reldim(0.56)));
    }
