Pipo Events

[Bostich]

First of all, very nice Engine .

I play with your engine since 2 days, and it seems to be very nice (I have tested 6 other c# engines^^).

But know my problem (not the very first^^):

Currently iam trying to implement a Gui, with ur Pipo framework. All in all, it is very easy to use but i hang atm at the events.

A little closer look into Pipo says that there a two namespaces called "Pipo.Event"(MouseListener) and "Pipo.Handler"(MouseHandler). Thats in fact.

So my problem is, how can i implement this, to simple implement an Event for example for Window.OnMouseDown ?

The goal of this is simple a moving Gui window by clicking the titlebar. Hopefully thats possible (but i think so )


Thx in advance
and sry 4 my bad english (german native speaker )

//edit:
Mh forget my question, i have looked into the Pipo source and i have seen that events arent implemented at this time. I will give it a try by myself

Hi Bostich,

Yes sorry about that one, Pipo is still under development and cuicui has no time for the moment to work on it (he is busy on a mysterious Nintendo DS project )

Hi Silmaryls,

thx for ur reply .

I havent implemented events yet, but atm i can move my window arround with no problems :> (that was my main intenstion^^). If anything works as i expected i can publish it later if anyone wants this

But anyway, another problem :

I can not imagine why, but it is impossible for me to texture a window. It comes with no error msg, but still no texture^^.

And another thing:

I really need a kind of TextBox. As i see in pipo source, "Textarea" is still empty. Im not that skilled to build my own textbox from scratch.

Is it possible to get any kind of tips from u to build the textarea?


ty
Greetings Bostich

//edit:

Oh iam still better then i thought, now i got a working textbox also .
BUT: i got no idea to show a blinkin cursor. Any ideas?

Hi,

Well directly from IceCube source code here is our Input code :

Code: Select all

input = new Input(tetris, "playerNameInput", "Enter name", dialog);
input.setTextureName("tetris_input");
input.setSize(input.getWidth(), 20);
input.center(0, 0);
input.MaxLength = 14;
input.setFont("tetris_font_blue.png", "BlueFont", Label.DEFAULT_WIDTH, Label.DEFAULT_HEIGHT);
input.setFontSize(20);
input.setFontColor(Color.LightGray);
input.setTransparency(true);


The input has a blinking cursor so you can just check out the source code if you want to implement your own.
You can also download the exe (you will have to make a highscore in order to see the dialog )

Ty again for the fast reply

I havent seen that there was allready a finished input box :>.

but right now, i got another problem^^

ATM iam testing how it it works with Meshes (expecially with characters).

In my solution i have small terain and a skybox. when i put my (Tiny)mesh on a fixed position WITHOUT sky and terrain, i can see tiny, and everything is fine. but in that case i load terain and skybox, the mesh is transparent.

hopefully u understand what my problem is

Greetings Bostich

Well sounds strange.
Can you try to remove the sky box and see if it works with mesh+terrrain ?
And if it doesn't do it again but removing the terrain.

It may be a sky box drawing problem but not sure about this one.
