GUI Element Children not rendering

[saigumi]

I tried to create a menu by creating a blank image and smacking the text on it as children, but when I do this, the children do not render.

I had assumed that the children would function the same as the way that 3D sceneNodes function, but I might be wrong.

Anyone see an error?

Code: Select all

	Menu.Holder = device->getGUIEnvironment()->addImage(irr::core::rect<irr::s32>(size.Width-200,size.Height-300, size.Width-10, size.Height-10));
	Menu.Options[0] = device->getGUIEnvironment()->addStaticText(L"Move", false, irr::core::rect<irr::s32>(5,5,80,20),Menu.Holder,-1);

No, you found a bug. Seems that nobody tried to use an image as parent before. The line
IGUIElement::draw();
is missing in the end of the method CGUIImage::draw(). Sorry.

Alright. I have already "worked around" it, even though the work around is a way better way of performing the same functionality.

I'm using a gui element ListBox instead and switched my control scheme to allow keyboard input to handle listbox controls. This control is external to the list elements control scheme. That way, users can either use the mouse, keyboard, or controller.

My code

Code: Select all

/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Process Menu KeyPresses
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
void BlockWar::ActionListCommand(irr::u32 KeyInput) {
	switch (KeyInput) {
		case irr::KEY_ESCAPE:
			State = STATE_NORMAL;
			ActionList->setVisible(false);
			break;
		case irr::KEY_KEY_W:
			if (ActionList->getSelected() > 0)
				ActionList->setSelected(ActionList->getSelected() - 1);
			break;
		case irr::KEY_KEY_S:
			if (ActionList->getSelected() < ActionList->getItemCount())
				ActionList->setSelected(ActionList->getSelected() + 1);
			break;
		case irr::KEY_RETURN:
			//!Generate ButtonPress Event
			const wchar_t* temp = ActionList->getListItem(ActionList->getSelected());
			//!Do stuff here
			break;
	}
}

This is called from OnEvent:

Code: Select all

ActionListCommand(event.KeyInput.Key);
