Why is IGUIStaticText static?

Hi there,

I'm wondering why the IGUIStaticText node does not allow changing of the text after it has been created (I assume that is why it is called IGUIStaticText?). I took a quick look over the code, and I do not see any reason why there can't be a public setText() function.

Errr...you can change the text. Static means only the user cannot edit the text

. And the setText method is part of irr::gui::IGUIElement

.

Read the API, there IS a setText() method.

Ah, it didn't occur to me that any IGUIElement could have some text. Thank you for pointing it out.
