Irrlicht Engine

hey guys,

I have a program that opens up a window.
I then want to create a function that will tell that window/program that when a button is pressed to minimize that window and load/open/maximise a window from a different .cpp file or program.

What code would i need in irrlicht?
i pretty much have ...

cheers

sorry i have another question.

forgive me i'm not the smartes or greatest at programming or understanding it.

firstly what does this mean: template<class T> ??

also the code examples they give, how would i place that within my code as im guessing i can't just put the following:

bool irr::core ...

Lovely,

thanks very much!

hey,

I am trying to get a program to perform an action without a mouse key.

I have a box that follows the position of the mouse:

core::position2d<s32> m = device->getCursorControl()->getPosition();
driver->draw2DRectangle(video::SColor(100,255,255,255),
core::rect<s32>(m.X-20, m.Y-20, m.X+20 ...

thanks everyone for your help,
I really appreciate it

its the 4 points of the rectangle...right???

no worries, i have now got a square placed in my window

i started messing around with the numbers in here:

core::rect<s32>(100,390,210,440));

however i am now confused as to what each number does.

As i thought maybe the (1,2 were x and y
and 3,4)); were size

but this doesn't seem to be the ...

yes

while(device->run() && driver)
{
if (device->isWindowActive())

hey everyone,

I have looked at the tutorials but im lost within the code!

I am trying to make a 2d image appear on my program screen.

I am using the following code:

driver->draw2DRectangle(video::SColor(0,255,0,0),
core::rect<s32>(100,20,200,40));

but it doesn't seem to work. :(
any advice ...

Ahh what an idiot I am!

thanks for pointing it out, else I would of been looking at that code all night!

and thanks for the link too! very helpful indeed

cheers

hey

I have used the exact same code given but have chosen a different .irr file.

However i have one strange error that I'm not really sure why I am getting it. the error is this:

Thankyou very much!

I really appreciate the reply ^_^

and

b) how would i open another screen? theres a new window in the tutorial, so would i do the same but make the window the ...
