GUI drawing
« on: December 11, 2014, 12:44:10 am »
hello guys, I have a question, how can I do something like glue GUI element to a current RenderWindow or current view ? I want that GUI to be a child of a view and I don't know how to do that, maybe you can guide me to the right path ?

It sounds like you're asking for a "scene graph."  It's out of scope for SFML, but a common element of games and game engines so once you know that phrase it's easy to google a lot of detailed help on implementing them.  I believe there's one in the SFML Game Development book too.

If you were asking for GUI elements, what Jesper said.

If I understanded correctly, I should create a Parent-child system and make GUI as a child and view as a root ?

Probably, yeah.
