Good Way To "Lock" Something To A View

[jdogg2727]

So I looked around for a good way to basically attach something to a view, but I couldn't find any great solutions.

Right now I'm trying to draw a tool box with text and images over top the rest of my editor for I can see information without it looking like a mess. Each frame the view moves I have to reset the position of the tool box, each image, and each text object.

if(*view moves*){
*update positioning for each object* //I don't want this step
...
...
}

draw(*object*)
...
...

Is there a way I can simply "attach" these to the view? Or would I maybe be better off drawing each of these to an image, positioning the image and then drawing that?

Just use another view that doesn't change.

That would be the way i'd do it aswel. In my case I've created 2 views: The GameView (For seeing the world) and a UIView. The UI view I use to draw non-world related UI elements (i.e. UI elements that shouldn't be attached to a specific in-world object).

To switch between views you can use the window.setView() function:
