IGUIEnvironment::getRootGUIElement () returns the top gui-element. From there on you can recursively check getChildren () to access all elements.

For an example of such a recursive function check getElementFromPoint in IGUIElement.h

Code: Select all

irr::gui::IGUIElement *elem;
				elem = dev->getGUIEnvironment()->getRootGUIElement();
				irr::gui::SGUIElementList list;
				list = elem->getChildren();
				printf("\n\nnumber: %d \n\n", list.size);

it always returns 4 for all my game page...

so how can i get the number of elements on my current page?

Do check the getElementFromPoint function... it does a IsVisible check as well as calling itself recursive (you have to check the children of the children and the children of those... etc).
