Irrlicht Engine

CGUIEmptyElement is a sub-class of IGUIElement, therefor you can treat any CGUIEmptyElement as an IGUIElement.
Also follow the analogy:
I have a car and it can drive. I also have a Porche. Since my Porche is a car, it can also drive.

the description of what the 'plain' car can do = IGUIElement
the ...

[EDIT]
Misread the question, answer below is irrelevant. As I'm not familiar with VC++ and windows-specific code, I'm afraid I won't be of any help here..
[/EDIT]

From what I've experienced so far with playing with the irrlicht GUI is that it is still a basic GUI-system.
Dockable things will have ...

And then I had to go and get ill.. anyway, here's my small convert-function (back then I still coded in Dutch)
convert.hpp
#ifndef CONVERSIE_HPP
#define CONVERSIE_HPP

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;

template <class doelType, class inputType>

doelType convert(const ...

That could be so much shorter by using a template I think.
I must have a conversionfunction lying around somewhere at home for some of the common STL-types, will post later today.

In any case, static casting is always the better choice imo, but sometimes dynamic casting with stringstreams can be ...

Thx for the clear explanation Vitek.
*Wonders wheter this can be put into the documentation*

From what I understand (still a beginner though) does the drop-method decrement the referencecounter of that object.
The referencecounter keeps track of.. well.. references :roll: to that object. As long as a given element still has a reference, it may lead to null-pointer-errors if destroyed ...

Thx for the response.
I'll redesign the EventReciever so it calls a createfunction for my GUI, which updates the driver and device pointer for the gameloop as well.

Should I post an even more stripped version of the code as testcase? (which would be just removing empty cases, fontloading and custom coloring
actually)

Or am I correct in stating that switching devices/environments in an EventReciever is impossible? It seems even to be impossible to destroy the ...

It seems that TrackerSingleMarkerImpl.h does not contain pre-compiler-directives to prevent the file from being included more than once in a given source-file.
Most probably you've included this header in VideoAR and have included both VideoAR as well as TSMI.h in your main. The result is that TSMI ...

As I'm still new to IrrLicht, I can't seem to get this working correctly, or not entirely..

In my testcase I have created one window with one button in it. Clicking the button should trigger a switch between fullscreen and windowed operation.

What I'm doing in the event reciever is as follows ...

I kind of hoped there would be a (yet) in that sentence.. However there are lots more important things to work on first imo

Actually.. I wonder if the current setText-method can't be renamed to setReversedText or something alike. Or have an extra parameter to say whether the text should be reversed or not.

This can be a handy feature sometimes (think in the lines of making drawing-software...)

Yes, they are. However, if you use the MinGW installer package for windows, those are set by the installer.

Can't help you with the OSX-question though.

You have a gameplan, so let's try and use it to your advantage.

What I usually try to do (mind you that I'm far from a game-guru ;) ):
1. Make up a gamescenario, draw some concept-art.
This is a really chaotic stadium, in which I write down/draw everything that's in my mind, and only filter it ...
