Quick questions about tables and listboxes

Post by carlwryker »

Hi,
Can users input text into Irrlicht tables in the same manner as edit boxes, just like inputting text into Excel spreadsheet?
Also, is it possible to add GUI elements other than text to list boxes? I'd like to include some spinboxes, checkboxes, and edit boxes.

Sorry, it's not that flexible. If you need such functionality you will have to use your own gui elements.
You could probably start by copying the code of the existing elements and replace the child-elements which are used to a general IGUIElement which is then instanced by the the type you really need. But no idea if it's really that simple - I didn't do that myself yet.

Thanks. I've got an ugly back up plan in mind.
