SFML2 events with Win32 callbacks
« on: May 28, 2012, 03:03:26 am »
Is there a way to recieve SFML events while having callbacks for windows controls.
I tried it but it doesn't work..

Edit: Managed to get somehow working but the windows controls render on the back even when i put them in front order or don't render at all.

You can handle Win32 events, but not draw Win32 controls on top of the SFML view.

Even when i'm integrating SFML on Win32 application??
If that's the case i have to let the OpenGL rendering from SFML and implement it on a Win32 enviroment and leave only event handling on SFML.

I'm thinking of moving to Qt and integrate SFML on it. Qt's UI is the best in my opinion than any other library around(mainly open source). The problem is that i want to use SFML, and on top of SFML i use OpenGL but i need to add an external library to render ui controls on top of SFML as well. Win32 can't be integrated with controls, guichan(project dumped, cannot compile), Ultimate++ uses a stupid system TheIDE and there are no libraries.. building is buggy. A good one, Gwen i couldn't integrate it on SFML, it does have a build for the libraries, all compile well, but i get 'undefined references' all the time... I'm getting crazy!!
If you have any recommendation it would be appreciated!

Don't give up so easily, I'm sure this problem can be solved ;)

You can also try SFGUI.
