Buttons and Menu, please help.

[strielokdzielny]

Hello,

I am a beginner. I have a problem. I want to make menus and buttons in SFML. I do not know how to do it. I would do such a thing: when you click on the button opens a window or play a game.

Forgive me for my English

PS. I work on SFML 1.6


Please help.

You can use a GUI library for SFML.. like SFGUI, TGUI, etc.

There is no integrated GUI in SFML, you can either use a third party GUI like SFGUI, or create the GUI yourself.

Creating the GUI yourself means you'll create a button in paint, add a sf::Sprite to your window with your button image as texture. Than you should write code like:

Code: [Select]


//pseudocode
if(mouse.x >= button.x && mouse.x <= button.x+button.width && mouse.isPressed() && mouse.y >= button.y && mouse.y <= button.y+button.height){OnClick()}


You probably want to put this into a class and add some slightly advanced code with different button textures on mouse hoover and button press, but you should get the point.
