Title: [SOLVED] View manipulation - always entire screen?
Post by: Brendon on March 28, 2010, 07:42:34 pm

I'm using View to zoom in/out of my gameplay screens.  If I understand it correctly, the View grabs the entire RenderWindow and manipulates it.

My question is, what's the best way to not manipulate the entire screen?  For example, if I press ESC to open an options menu, ideally the options menu shouldn't also be zoomed-in.

Is there a way to draw "unzoomed" graphics elements over a View-manipulated gameplay screen?

Juste call the default view (App.SetView(App.GetDefaultView())) or another view than the one you are using to zoom before drawing your menu.

Thanks Spidyy, that did the trick.  

Before drawing my gameplay screen, I tell my RenderWindow to use my manipulated View. After the gameplay screen is done drawing, I tell my RenderWindow to use the App.DefaultView.  Works great.
