Core Irrlicht GUI Element Design Questions

[buhatkj]

it was in the gui demo in 0.4, to adjust the transparency. or did you mean something else?

I am definitely looking forward to 0.5, my screen mockups have a lot of stuff i had been thinking id just have to hack together, but with editboxes and drop-downs available from irrlicht the job gets easier, and the code gets cleaner all good things

the other thing that puzzled me saigumi was did you mean a grid layout manager as in java or tk, or is there some other sort of grid widget?

The "slider" that you are thinking of is a horizontal scrollbar. The Windows Control called slider is a verticle pointing bar on a horizontal line with hardset locations to slide the control to.

As for a grid, your thinking of a grid-bag layout. Grid is just the original term for Table.

Being able to specify that you want a specified-number column, "infinite" row table that holds text, image, or a checkbox would be nice.

ah okies, i think the closest thing in tk is called "scale". i usually use either tk or the java gui toolkit for gui apps so im not too familiar with windows widget sets. yeh grid bag is what i meant. and you are right, tables would be cool
