How to resize a context menu

The BasheR · Post by **The BasheR** » Wed May 23, 2007 3:20 pm

Hi all, for my program i would like to have a context menu, but it is too small, and I don't know how to resize it

Is someone can tell me about this?

Thanks a lot.

Context menus set their own size, which is based on the size of the skin's font. use env->getSkin()->setFont to set a different sized font.
Thinking about this, perhaps we should have the option for several fonts rather than just one for the entire skin.

Thank you, can you say me the entire code to do that please? Because i don't font the function in the doc

I believe the 2d graphics tutorial loads a custom font. Have a look there.

env->getSkin()->setFont( env->getFont("Font From Font Tool"));

is that enough docs for you?

Oh ok, thank you, actually i thought we could directly change the size of the font.

So thank you.

EDIT => i have also an other problem => when i resize the window to maximise it the context menu's width is not the same that the one of the widow, so is there a way to solve this problem?

Nobody knows?

You need to get the resolution of the window after resizing it and then alter the size of your box. I'm not sure of the exact code. I don't think Irrlicht actually has a getResolution function...

Ok thank you

this is/was a bug, it is now fixed in svn as of revision 652.
If you want to fix it yourself, change RelativeRect to DesiredRect in the following files/functions-
CGUIEnvironment.cpp : CGUIEnvironment::drawAll()
CGUIMenu.cpp : CGUIMenu::updateAbsolutePosition()

and recompile Irrlicht.. thanks for reporting this

It doesn't need to be reported; it was fixed in the SVN he mentioned.
