I'll try that later. I'm good with irrlicht's gui for now.
If you can you could post your implementation to irrlicht's code snippets forum. I'm sure some users might find it useful ;)

In case someone is interessted. I managed to make it work without modifying irrlicht at all.

Hi Sudi,

I'd be interested. Can you elaborate or post your example w/librocket working in Irrlicht please.

Thx!

Personally if you were to write your own gui (as I have also been thinking about) I would output the format file in XML. It's 'easy' to read and edit by hand if need be. And if you made the designer in C# XML is easy to output. I found a little lacking with the 2d system in irrlicht myself, such as a lack of animation (at least from what I found) also everything has to be done in photoshop, and while I can make some pretty nice graphics, it just takes me a long time. I probably spent over 4 hours designing a button and getting the lighting write. I personally would rather have my 3d guy (my brother) put some objects together and render with some shaders to do some really nice effects, but that is just my 2 cents.

with the irrlicht GUI. can one make either an invisible button where a texture is or a texture that functions like a button?
Same with simmilar GUI elements.

for example. checkboxes have a texture for off one for being clicked and one for on. <----actually same for button textures.

and last but not least scrollbars and other misc. GUI controls.

is it possible?

I've found a bug in Irrlicht Rocket Renderer. If you place element with "overflow: auto" or "overflow: scroll" and input with type = "text" or "password" then you will get something like this:
Image
(notice the text is rendered under the input element, really strange)

And this is how it should look (basic/directx sample from the Rocket SDK):
Image

I've tested this with <body> and <div> elements. Both cases this bug triggered.
This bug also triggers if elements are placed in separate documents.

If <input> element is placed within "overflow:auto" element, there is no bug at all:
Image
But if <input> has "position:absolute" style, then the bug returns.

Windows Visual Studio 2010 compiled DirectX sample and libRocketTest (I've modified it so you can move the mouse cursor now) using the same resources:

Placing elements in such order is essential when making a chat box. I think it might be a bug of Irrlicht Rocket Renderer. How can we fix this bug?

The error is in SetScissorRegion() and EnableScissorRegion() functions.
I modified my OpenGL Irrlicht Driver like said on previous page and now it works flawlessly.
Image
though it would be better to not having to modify Irrlicht files and just fix those functions -- help needed
