SFGUI (0.4.0 released)

[Tank]

Ah, forgot to reply to Nexus:
I'm not sure what exactly you're talking about. What does the macro do? (example maybe?)

[Laurent]

If you, Laurent, are reading this: I'd suggest to add a variable that tracks the content of SFML_STATIC_LIBRARIES for FindSFML. As soon as it changes the script should automagically delete all SFML_*_LIBRARY_* variables so that they're searched for again. I guess I'll do the same for FindSFGUI.

Ok, just let me know when it's done

[Nexus]

When you write

void DoSomething( FAKE_DOC(shared_ptr<Button>, Button::Ptr button) );

the compiler sees the code like

void DoSomething( shared_ptr<Button> button )

and thus doesn't require the definition of Button, while Doxygen generates

void DoSomething( Button::Ptr button )

(if you add the macro also in Doxygen). As mentioned, ugly, but probably the only way

For the specific case of shared_ptr<X> vs. X::Ptr, you could even write a shorter macro:

#define PTR(Type) shared_ptr<Type>

void DoSomething( PTR(Button) );

Ah got it now. It's indeed ugly, but can save some includes. Thanks.

SFGUI support the lastest version of SFML ? ( Relased today ? )

Sorry for the question but I work with SFML and SFGUI is strongly needed.

Yeah the RC released today is based of the current master at GitHub which should work the last time I checked. What speaks against downloading SFGUI and trying it out yourself? Either it's you or me who finds out first whether it works or not As always if you find anything you have a feeling is a bug don't mind reporting it, favorably on our forum in other to reduce activity in this one thread.

I was skimming through the thread to find an answer, and I checked the docs. But was unable to find what I was looking for.

How do you load a *.theme file? I noticed the entire GUI looks Steam by default 
I don't wish to change the GUI at runtime, but when the program loads.

[eXpl0it3r]

You obviously didn't spent that much time in looking for it.
I guess you'll find it in the documentation too, but it's easier just to look at the examples and you would have found this:

m_desktop.LoadThemeFromFile( "data/example.theme" );

Hi guys,

How do you load a *.theme file? I noticed the entire GUI looks Steam by default 

After reading the documentation and the samples, i guess it would be something like this :

sfg::Context::Get().GetEngine().LoadThemeFromFile("/path/to/your/file");

Btw, i was wondering, have you got any idea about the release date of the new engine ? BREW is efficient but i had like to customize the differents widgets with images.

You're doing a great and useful job guys, keep it up

Hi guys,

After reading the documentation and the samples, i guess it would be something like this :

sfg::Context::Get().GetEngine().LoadThemeFromFile("/path/to/your/file");

That would only apply the theme to the context active at that point in time. If you use sfg::Desktop(s) you might have multiple contexts, in which case you would use m_desktop.LoadThemeFromFile( "/path/to/your/file" ); just like in the example eXpl0it3r provided a link to (it isn't really an example, more a test bench).

Btw, i was wondering, have you got any idea about the release date of the new engine ? BREW is efficient but i had like to customize the differents widgets with images.

Bob as it is known is being developed by Iteem. If you want more info or just want to motivate him to work harder you can drop by IRC. With Bob it is possible to theme widgets using images as you have mentioned. Iteem ran into difficulties continuing development after we made the switch to VBO-based rendering. Further he had real-life obligations that prevented him from having much free time right after we made the switch so Bob has been hanging in the air since.

You're doing a great and useful job guys, keep it up

Nice to know another person who uses the library. We should have a guestbook-like feature somewhere but Tank is reluctant to make unneeded changes to the website .

It's generally hard to make me working on any website things, as websites are boring.

Amen!!!

Is SFGUI available on Mac? (Xcode)

[binary1248]

It should compile on Mac. We don't use any OS dependent headers and CMake should take care of generating the build configuration.

[The Terminator]

I have been trying to use Cmake to compile it with Xcode, but I keep getting these weird errors like "does not appear to have cmakelists". I'm also very confused on where to point the source code part of it to. Help anyone?
