I feel like this is ridiculously easy, but I haven't been able to think of how to do it.

Is there a way to embed a sf::View inside another? I'm working on a GUI and this would make it so much easier to handle scrollable widget views, drop-down boxes, tabs, etc.

You can't have a view inside a view, but you can have a drawable inside a drawable. This is usually a good solution to render hierarchical widget elements.

TechRogue, are you sure you're not refering to clipping instead of the views?

Not sure...I was hoping to be able to use the scrolling functionality of a view without using it as a camera, if that makes sense. Basically I need to handle widget positions, when to draw each one, and how much to draw.

If it's not possible it's not a big deal. I'll just need to do a little more work on my own.
