FPS in a text box.

[Zedith]

I've added a text box with addStaticText and I want to put there realtime information about my current fps... But how should I do that?
I've added
guienv->addStaticText(str.c_str(),
rect<s32>(10,10,260,22), true);
to the loop but it creates after every loop a new static text box....

I've tried that way too.. It should work but it doesn't...

Code: Select all

Before loop
		int testfps=0;
		core::stringw str_fps = L"FPS @ ";
		str_fps+=testfps;

		guienv->addStaticText(str_fps.c_str(),rect<s32>(10,10,260,22), true);

After loop

            if (lastFPS != fps)
            {
				testfps=fps;
				lastFPS=fps;
			}

Maybe there's a way to refresh the GUI so that this textbox refreshes it's values?

SEW-KRATES ASKS:

guienv->addStaticText(str_fps.c_str(),rect<s32>(10,10,260,22), true);

Does IGUIEnvironment::addStaticText() return anything?

And the thing that it returns, what is that derived from?

And are there any methods of that class that might serve?



PARTY ON, CODER DUDES!

Oh what a mistake.. Happens when coding 12pm(at my timezone).
I just added

gui::IGUIFont* font = device->getGUIEnvironment()->getBuiltInFont();

before loop and

core::stringw str = L"FPS @ ";
str += (s32)driver->getFPS();
if (font)
font->draw(str.c_str(),
core::rect<s32>(130,10,300,50),
video::SColor(255,255,255,255));

after loop. Easy.
I've been coding c++ only for 3 weeks(mostly console stuff).
Thanks for your help rogerborg.

I didn't do anything, it was that Sew-krates dude, and his most excellent Method.
