Retrieving individual GUI elements

Hi,
I have created a user interface using the GUI editor and outputted an xml file with the ui settings.

After i load it into the GUIEnvironment using LoadGUI(), how can i access the individual GUI elements ?

Would i have to create the element that i want to access manually (using the addGUIElement) and save the return value into a pointer or is there another way. I have checked the documentation but not found a way.

Thanx !

you'll have to give each element an unique ID, then you can find it by using getElementFromId(...)

Thank u very much.

That getElementFromID() is called from the root element. Which u have brought to my attention.

Thank you again.
