Irrlicht with wxWidget, no win32

[Guest]

Exist a tutorial example show how to use irrlicht with win32 application, there are a tutorial or an exemple with wxwidget?

Thank you.

there is not, but i asked some time ago if irrlicht can be used with wxwidgets and the answer was: if wxwidgets provides a hwnd (window handle) then it should be possible.

you could try it out by using the irrlicht tutorial for win32 and try it the same way with wxwidgets.

maybe that helps you a bit

I don't have an actual C++ example to show you, but it does work.

Code: Select all

 

//psuedo code

wxDialog *Dlg = new wxDialog(-1, "Test", wxPoint(0,0), wxSize(400,400));

SIrrlichtCreationParameters params;

params.WindowId = Dlg->GetHandle();
params.DriverType = EDT_OPENGL;
params.WindowSize = dimension2d(200,200);

device = createDeviceEx(&params);

while(device->run())
{
    Dlg->Refresh(); // <- bad ;)   It would be better to actually implement 
                           // a real messge loop, but this little trick does work
    driver->beginScene();
    smgr->drawAll();
    driver->EndScene();
}

Thanks Zenaku and GFXstyLER!!!

[selles]

other doubt..

how I do to create this in a wxPanel..O not get work in this context..

thanks.

[Guest]

the problem is that the event associated to the object "param"

Code: Select all

param.EventReceiver=&evento;

..doesn't work when the object that gave the handle has a parent and when the object doesn't have a parent he sees an independent frame and appears titlebar

I didn't get to do the window of the irrlicht inside of a frame without it occupies the whole window and with the event working. .

does anybody know it what it happens?

please help me.

Thank you.

did you get wx widget working with irrlicht, how did you do it?

[Guest]

look in 3rd reply in this topic, there are some errors ..

params.WindowId = Dlg->GetHandle(); //<-don´t work
params.WindowId =wx_reinterpret_cast(s32, Dlg->GetHandle()); //<-work

params.WindowSize = dimension2d(200,200); //<-don't work
params.WindowSize = dimension2d<s32>(200,200); //<-work

so, that work well, I think..

but don't wait to use events because I think that nobody get it..

[jonasrf]

Have you been able to get this to work all the way? If so could you please help me get it to work also?

    driver->beginScene();
    smgr->drawAll();
    driver->EndScene();
}

1. Does "params.WindowId" above require a int WINAPI WinMain method?

2. Also, in Nico's win32 Irrlicht tutorial, the usage seems to be "param.WindowId" (not params). What is the difference in usage here?

Many thanks for any helpful hints.

Can anyone provide the real C++ code to integrate Irrlicht into wxWidgets? I want to create a map editor.
Thanks.

[Mobeen]

This is a minimalistic app based on the win32 sample. This has been tested on MS VisualStudio.Net 2003. If you find any mistake in it do let me know.
Thanks

hello


Does this code create a seperate window? or its embedded directly in irrlicht like the other gui s ?

[Mobeen]

This creates a window having graphics setup in its client area not as a separate window just like in the win32 sample. Take a look here

Sweet thanks man!!! Your a life saver.
