How can i resize my parent gui object?

[Jorik]

Hi,

i tried several ways to resize my parent gui element always automatically to window size, but i found no way at all.

with:

Code: Select all

IGUIElement *testroot = testGUIEnvironment->addImage (vector2d<s32>() etc...);

i cant give the image more than 2 parameters, and i have no way to say: (0,0,width,height);

Code: Select all

draw2dImage();

has the abillity to give 4 parameter, but i cant define it as my parent element, because its a void and i cant save it in IGUIElement and define a name for the object.

It has also the disatvante, that a picture created with draw2dImage(), is displayed repeadingly when it gets stretched.
So i dont see the picture bigger, i see the picture several times.


Can anbody tell me a way to stretch a IGUIElement Picture?

Code: Select all

IGUIImage *image = gui->addImage(...);
image->setScaleImage(true);
image->setMaxSize(dimension2du(maxX,maxY));
image->setMinSize(dimension2du(minX,minY));

You should read the documentation...

Well, actually it might be not so easy. With setScaleImage(true) you make sure the image has the same size as the gui-element. But when you talk about resizing the main-window then the problem is that the gui-elements do not resize with that automatically. You have to poll the main-window size and then set the gui-elements correspondingly. But you can use one parent-element which you scale to the main-window size and then all child-elements _can_ scale automatically. That behavior depends on the settings of setAlignment and setMaxSize, setMinSize.
