Title: NoesisGUI, wants an OpenGL Device, what do I give it? what GUI kit do you use?
Post by: Ky. on September 22, 2020, 10:06:32 pm

There's specific line when setting up Noesis to be used, and that's

_view->GetRenderer()->Init(glDevice);

The issue is this "glDevice" concept.

Now I see via the samples like on this line here: https://github.com/Noesis/Tutorials/blob/master/Samples/IntegrationGLUT/C%2B%2B/Src/Main.cpp#L103 that this sample is using the AppFramework, which is a far more invasive all-encompassing application flow framework than I'd like to adopt into my project, and in fact it's not even recommended to do so (https://www.noesisengine.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1846#p10435)  but all of their samples use this "NsApp" framework to create an OpenGL Device.

However, with the context of SFML's RenderWindow, there's no such extractable "Device" I can figure to use in a way that Noesis wants. So I'm not sure how to proceed, if at all.

There's also no integration examples for SFML that I can find.

Any insight? 

Secondarily, what GUI kit have you used with SFML before?

Maybe this thread I found can be insightful? https://www.noesisengine.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=337

There are a bunch of UI libraries out there, depends a bit on what you need it for: TGUI, ImGui-SFML, SFGUI, ...
