2d GUI

[X]

Have anyone have any luck with creating a 2D gui for DirectX? (not for 3d but for 2d)?

Ref: http://www.cegui.org.uk/

CEGUI looks like a good option. It does not require a 3d Engine to use, and should be able to use with our regular Sprite/Sprite3d commands. I'll have to create a working example and post on this thread.

[STARGÅTE]

I've already written quite a lot of GUIs.
The most important elements is my function:
DisplayBoxedSprite3D ()

It allows you to zoom in with the edge of sprites
Here's an example: (DX9!)

Code: Select all

InitSprite()
InitSprite3D()


; DirectX9
Structure Sprite3D_DX9_Vertex
  x.f:y.f:z.f
  rhw.f:Color.l
  tu.f:tv.f
EndStructure  

Structure Sprite3D_DX9
  TexRes.i
  Vertice.Sprite3D_DX9_Vertex[4]
  TmpVertice.Sprite3D_DX9_Vertex[4]
  Width.l 
  Height.l
  RealWidth.l
  RealHeight.l
  Angle.f
  Transformed.l
EndStructure

Procedure DisplayBoxedSprite3D(Sprite3D, x, y, Width, Height, Top, Right, Bottom, Left)
  Protected *Sprite3D.Sprite3D_DX9 = IsSprite3D(Sprite3D)
  Protected Dim u.f(3), Dim v.f(3) ; Vertex
  Protected Dim x.i(3), Dim y.i(3) ; Position
  Protected ix.i, iy.i
  With *Sprite3D
    u(0) = 0 : u(1) = Left/\RealWidth : u(2) = 1-Right/\RealWidth   : u(3) = 1
    v(0) = 0 : v(1) = Top/\RealHeight : v(2) = 1-Bottom/\RealHeight : v(3) = 1
    x(0) = x : x(1) = x+Left          : x(2) = x+Width-Right        : x(3) = x+Width
    y(0) = y : y(1) = y+Top           : y(2) = y+Height-Bottom      : y(3) = y+Height
    For iy = 0 To 2
    For ix = 0 To 2
      \Vertice[0]\tu = u(ix)   : \Vertice[0]\tv = v(iy)
      \Vertice[1]\tu = u(ix+1) : \Vertice[1]\tv = v(iy)
      \Vertice[2]\tu = u(ix)   : \Vertice[2]\tv = v(iy+1)
      \Vertice[3]\tu = u(ix+1) : \Vertice[3]\tv = v(iy+1)
      \Width = x(ix+1)-x(ix)   : \Height = y(iy+1)-y(iy)
      \Transformed = #False
      DisplaySprite3D(Sprite3D, x(ix), y(iy))
    Next
    Next
    \Vertice[0]\tu = 0 : \Vertice[0]\tv = 0
    \Vertice[1]\tu = 1 : \Vertice[1]\tv = 0
    \Vertice[2]\tu = 0 : \Vertice[2]\tv = 1
    \Vertice[3]\tu = 1 : \Vertice[3]\tv = 1
    \Width = \RealWidth : \Height = \RealHeight 
    \Transformed = #False
  EndWith
EndProcedure



OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 800, 600, "Screen", #PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(0), 0, 0, WindowWidth(0), WindowHeight(0), 0, 0, 0)
  
  UsePNGImageDecoder()
  CatchSprite(0, ?Window_png, #PB_Sprite_Texture|#PB_Sprite_AlphaBlending)
  CreateSprite3D(0, 0)
  
  
Repeat

  ClearScreen($FFFFFF)

  Start3D()
    Time.f = ElapsedMilliseconds()/1000
    DisplaySprite3D(0, 0, 0)
    DisplayBoxedSprite3D(0, 100, 100, 400+Sin(Time)*100, 300+Cos(Time)*100, 32, 16, 16, 16)
  Stop3D()

FlipBuffers()

Until WindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

@Stargate
You have written a CEGUI in PB? Then post it!

@X
I would love to be able to use CEGUI with PB without
build-in OGRE3D

According to the CEGUI docs, you only need DirectX itself, no need for the Orgre3d. I'm poking around with it right now at home, hopefully some fruit will come of this.

Have anyone have any luck with creating a 2D gui for DirectX? (not for 3d but for 2d)?

Maybe you should have a look at the SGX-Lib by #Null :

Ah, thanks. That havent been updated in years though there was some bugs/issues when i tried it last, but that was a few versions ago.

[IdeasVacuum]

I think PrincieD's GUI uses DirectX?

You doesn't should say "only" ... if it would be simple someone had it done
already for pb. But i hope it is not to hard for you. Because it would
really be nice to have a working lib or a little example.

As i remember the sgx is open source ... so feel free to fix bugs on your own.
(and don't forget to post the fixes )
As i see, the last update is for PB v4.41.

I dunno The CEGUI said you need DirectX and/or OpenGL to run the gui against. We have Sprite3D commands which uses DirectX and not the Orge engine, so it must be possible unless the CEGUI website isn't correct. Any how, I now have some time to code since it is finally raining out side.

I looked at that ProGUI, I actually bought it recently for some other products. According to the thread start post, and the website, it does not use DirectX at all.
