IGUIStaticText coordinates problem.

[[ds] Swift]

i seem to have a problem with my IGUIStaticText.
This works:
gui::IGUIStaticText *text = guienv -> addStaticText( L"blagh!", rect<s32>( 10, 10, 200, 22 ), false );

These does not:
gui::IGUIStaticText *text = guienv -> addStaticText( L"blagh!", rect<s32>( 10, 20, 200, 22 ), false );
gui::IGUIStaticText *text = guienv -> addStaticText( L"blagh!", rect<s32>( 200, 10, 200, 22 ), false );

... i have the width set to 200 because i want to be able to change its text later

my window is 1024x768 windowed

is there a problem with it, or is there a limit to where you can display it?

I don't know, if this is related to your problem, because you did not really specify what exactly is wrong with your static text, but in the code example above you declare the pointer text twice. You can remove the gui::IGUIStaticText * before the second pointer.

If this isn't your problem, maybe you can specify it a bit more, for example is it visible at all, is it at a wrong position, is it not compiling, or whatever...

sorry it didn't make any sense.
i have the pointer declared once in my application.
i was just showing that my first declaration worked, and upon changing it to new values it didn't.
Maybe this will help more:

Code: Select all

int main() {
	IrrlichtDevice *device = createDevice( EDT_SOFTWARE, dimension2d<s32>( 1024, 768), 128, false, false, false, 0 );

	device->setWindowCaption( L"NaNoCrON software - Irrlicht Test" );

	IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();
	ISceneManager* smgr = device->getSceneManager();
	IGUIEnvironment* guienv = device->getGUIEnvironment();

	guienv->addStaticText( L"Hi", rect<int>( 10, 10, 200, 22 ), false );


	while( device->run() ) {
		driver->beginScene( true, true, SColor( 0, 200, 200, 200 ) );

		smgr->drawAll();
		guienv->drawAll();

		driver->endScene();
	}

	device->drop();

	return 0;
}

if i change the static text line to:

Code: Select all

guienv->addStaticText( L"Hi", rect<int>( 400, 400, 200, 22 ), false );

it wont display at all. im really confused. my window is large enough to display it but it won't

Code: Select all

guienv->addStaticText( L"Hi", rect<int>( 200, 22, 400, 400 ), false ); 

Maybe this. Just guessing, because now it kinda draws the rectangle wrong, doesn't it? I think this matters. The syntax is x1, y1, x2, y2 so:

Code: Select all

x1/y1                           x2





y2                              

That's how I see it .

O-M-G! am i a total moron . lol. thanx, that helped me..
i just came off of this engine that my buddies and i had written. its pretty outdated now, thats y i moved to irrlicht. and in that engine we made our rectangle function:

Code: Select all

rectangle( float xPos, float yPos, float length, float height );

and thats what i was doing instead of ( x1, y1, x2, y2 );

moron!
