CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

As this is something which is rather common, have there been any thoughts of adding a clone() member to CEGUI::Window?

It was rather easy to implement by looking at all the instances where auto scaling was used for fonts, just slapped a scaling factor right on and exposed it to the xml handler. Seems to work nicely

I'm wondering if there's a way to apply scaling for bitmap fonts. We have a high res bitmap font and would like to down sample for lower sizes of the same font, both to save texture space, but first and foremost to save time.

Found the problem it seems, although I don't quite understand the reasoning behind it. In the lookandfeel attributes needs to be completely lower case, while in the layout the first letter must be capital. So, in the lookandfeel it should be <Property name="HorzFormatting" value="Horz...

Got it working. The largest problem actually was me forgetting to handle device reset. Since CEGUI doesn't use RendererListner in the Ogre renderer there was some problems restoring the surface since doing it with a RendererListner didn't guarantee that CEGUI surfaces had been restored at that point.

Hi, I'm trying to change how WindowsLook/StaticText aligns the text. If I create an instance of WindowsLook/StaticText in a layout file and add: <Property Name="HorzFormatting" Value="HorzCentred" /> as a property, then it will correctly center the text. However, if I add the ver...

Ah, thanks for the indepth response

We have a 3D scene in which we want to incorporate GUI elements. I presume the first step is to get CEGUI to render to a render target, which texture our object / quad with. So, what's the easiest way to get this going? The current approach I have in mind is using setRenderingSurface() to associate ...

I implemented right click for tree items quite easily by just adding an event and adding a few extra lines in selection detection code.

Hi, I use the seemingly loated tree widget hehe. Anyway, I have a need to recieve right click events on TreeItems in order to display a context menu, but I can't seem to find any convinient way to implement this functionality neither on the Tree level nor the TreeItem level. I use right click contex...

Hi, no problem :) I'm affraight that auto-sizing is not available. A widget's default size is indeed 0,0. Like MFC and wxWidgets, you have to provide a size. You just need to play around with values to come up with a nice gui. You could use the layout editor for that. HTH. Ah, thanks for the help :)

Cool. thanks! :) I have another small question, is there any way to let the widgets auto size? For example, if I create a ComboBox, I'd like it to size itself to its "optimal" size ( in this case, the height would probably be arrowed button to open the drop down ). Same goes for auto sizin...

I'll throw in another quick question :P ListBox::addItem() wants ListboxItem, which doesn't inherit from Window. So if I manually create a ListboxTextItem it won't be styled at all, in fact it's not even showing up even if it's added ( this is probably because it doesn't have its properties set ). T...

Hi, I'm playing around with the Windows Look scheme and the close buttons doesn't seem to be working. I'm thinking I have to implement this myself on a callback, but it doesn't seem to be working in the demo either ScrollablePaneDemo either, which leads me to believe that it's perhaps not intentiona...

When on the matter of the tutorials / samples. I think it would be nice if a VS solution file would be supplied, sure one can manually set this up and create a project for every sample, but it would be sweet if this came from the get go. If you're talking about our samples that come with CEGUI, if ...
