How to hide/show buttons on a GUIWindow using loadGUI.

[ericaus]

Hello, just wondering how do I hide or show the minimize, maximize and close buttons on a GUI window that is inside an xml that was created with GUIEditor?

On a test project I've tried doing something like...

Code: Select all

........

IGUIEnvironment* env = device->getGUIEnvironment();

env->loadGUI("LoginGUI.xml");

IGUIWindow* window = env->getRootGUIElement()->getElementFromId(1, false);
window->getCloseButton()->setVisible(false);

........

but with that I end up getting an error when I try to build solution.

Code: Select all

 error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'irr::gui::IGUIElement *' to 'irr::gui::IGUIWindow *'

the window would load if i leave out the IGUIWindow* window part but then I cant get the getCloseButton function.

If you know the pointer returned by getElementFromId() is derived from IGUIWindow, you can just use a cast.

Code: Select all

IGUIWindow* window = static_cast<IGUIWindow*>(env->getRootGUIElement()->getElementFromId(1, false));
