Okay sweet. I finally made working buttons. woot woot!
Thanks everyone!

Try assignments.

I just tried that, and I think it's working. Could you explain why you have to assign some, and other's is like in parenthesis?
like for example
sf::RectangleShape myRectangleShape;
myRectangleShape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Blue); <---- parenthesis

sf::FloatRect myFloatRect;
myFloatRect.top = 20; <----- assignment

term does not evaluate to a function taking 1 arguments

Which term? Which function is being called?

IntelliSense: expression preceding parentheses of apparent call must have (pointer-to-) function type   

Which expression? Where in the code does this happen?

Code: [Select]

//Inside of the Button Class's constructor function
                buttonSize = size;
rectShape.setSize(buttonSize);
rectShape.setFillColor(color);
rectShape.setPosition(position);
rectBoundingBox.left(20); //<----------------------------
rectBoundingBox.top(20);  //<------------------------------------

Okay, So I've made considerable changes to le code. I made a class called Button to, well you know, make buttons. Here is the code currently.

Code: [Select]

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <SFML/Audio.hpp>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>


using namespace std;

class Button{
public:
Button(sf::Vector2f size,sf::Vector2f position, sf::Color color)
{
buttonSize = size;
rectShape.setSize(buttonSize);
rectShape.setFillColor(color);
rectShape.setPosition(position);
}
sf::Vector2f getButtonSize()
{
return buttonSize;
}
sf::RectangleShape getRectShape()
{
return rectShape;
}
private:
sf::Vector2f buttonSize;
sf::RectangleShape rectShape;
sf::FloatRect rectBoundingBox;

};

int main()

{
sf::Vector2f defaultButtonSize(120,50);

Button button1(defaultButtonSize,sf::Vector2f(35,200), sf::Color::Red);
Button button2(defaultButtonSize,sf::Vector2f(35,280), sf::Color::Blue);
Button button3(defaultButtonSize,sf::Vector2f(35,360), sf::Color::Cyan);

sf::ContextSettings settings;
settings.antialiasingLevel = 8;

sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800,600), "My window.");
sf::Music music;
if(!music.openFromFile("sound.wav"))
std::cout << "failed to open sound.wav" << std::endl;
music.play();

sf::Font font;
if(!font.loadFromFile("sansation.ttf"))
std::cout << "failed to open sansation.tff" << std::endl;

sf::Text text("Welcome to click the boxes!", font, 50);
sf::Text text2("Would you like easy, medium,\n or hard mode?\n\n\n\t\tEasy\n\n\n\t\tMedium\n\n\n\t\tHard", font, 25);
text2.move(0,100);

while (window.isOpen())
{
sf::Vector2i Mousepos;

sf::Event event;
while(window.pollEvent(event))
{
switch (event.type)
{
case sf::Event::Closed:
window.close();
break;
case sf::Event::MouseButtonPressed:
if (event.mouseButton.button == sf::Mouse::Left)
{

}
}
}
window.clear();

window.draw(button1.getRectShape());
window.draw(button2.getRectShape());
window.draw(button3.getRectShape());
window.draw(text);
window.draw(text2);

window.display();
}
}

My current problem is in my Button class. I need to give rectBoundingBox it's size and position (which needs to be identical to the sf::RectangleShape rectShape)

I see that I can do rectBoundingBox.left, top, width and height. But I'm not sure what left coordinate and top coordinate means... and I also get an error.

You'll want to use code tags:

[code=cpp]

Also, where do you set Mousepos? My guess is you're forgetting to get the mouse position relative to the window. Like this:

boundingBox.contains(sf::Vector2f(sf::Mouse::getPosition(window)))
 

It also wouldn't be a bad idea to wrap the functionality of a button into a class, so your code is simpler to read and it's easier to make more than one button.

Yup. I did have a line that got my mouse's position and stored it into a vector2f, but I accidently deleted it .
I might try making this into a class, that will give me something good to work on, as I'm still not that great with classes, and they're important in c++ lol

Code: [Select]

sf::Vector2f rect1coord(35,200);
sf::Vector2f rect1size(120,50);
sf::Vector2f rect1coord2(155, 250);

sf::Vector2f rect2coord(35,280);
sf::Vector2f rect2size(120,50);

sf::Vector2f rect3coord(35,360);
sf::Vector2f rect3size(120,50);

sf::FloatRect rect1(rect1coord, rect1coord2);
sf::FloatRect rect2(rect2coord,(rect2coord + rect2size));
sf::FloatRect rect3(rect3coord,(rect3coord + rect3size));

Okay, so above I made a bunch of vector2fs and plugging it into Float Rects, as you can see above, and Also using for RectangleShape below. (I have 3 of them for 3 different buttons.)

Code: [Select]

        sf::RectangleShape rectangle1(rect1size);
rectangle1.setFillColor(sf::Color(0,0,0));
rectangle1.setOutlineThickness(10.0f);
rectangle1.setOutlineColor(sf::Color(255,105,180));
rectangle1.move(rect1coord);
Here's the output that I want for clicking one of the buttons.

Code: [Select]

case sf::Event::MouseButtonPressed:
if (event.mouseButton.button == sf::Mouse::Left)
{
if(rect1.contains(Mousepos.x,Mousepos.y))
{
cout << "You Picked Easy Mode\n\n" << endl;
}
if(rect2.contains(Mousepos.x,Mousepos.y))
{
cout << "You Picked Medium Mode\n\n" << endl;
}
if(rect3.contains(Mousepos.x,Mousepos.y))
{
cout << "You Picked Hard Mode\n\n" << endl;
}
Basically, If I put (0,0,100,100) into rect1, (using no vector2f) It obviously makes a clickable 100 by 100 pixel area. I can click it and it will cout "You picked easy mode".

but If I put like anything higher than 0 in the first xand y coordinate, or if I use the vector2f's its not working. I can't figure it out :/


[Sorry I don't know what the heck happened, it said I already posted when I didnt.)
