Not this next version X but probably a few updates after (I've already started re-factoring the core drawPanelPage which every skinned control eventually calls).X wrote:This may have been answered already. But does this next version (or down the roadmap), include the ability to use these controls (As well as skin them) onto a directx product? For example, If we go by the Sprite3d example (not any of the 3d engine/ogre stuff), would we be able to render these onto something like that?

If so that would be uber cool...
yup that's right Zach 
It should be surprisingly easy to do with ProGUI too (famous last words lol) as everything is modular, all skinned controls use a single subroutine (drawPanelPage) to render so all I have to do is change the rendering code to draw onto a DX surface and by magic all the controls will workX wrote:Sweet. That was may main concern. It looks like PB 4.6 RC2 contains CE GUI integration for the 3D engine, but still nothing for GUI creation in regular sprite2d,sprite3d examples (none of that 3d engine stuff). It's a major missing feature in PB right now. If you can fill in that hole ... that would be awesome.
I think CE GUI has a pretty basic set of main common control replacements where as ProGUI has more sophisticated controls. Imagine a virtual computer inside a game running a fully fledged software application! i.e. ProGUI renders to a texture and the texture is mapped to the front of a 3d model of a monitor

Thanks mate!electrochrisso wrote:ProGUI Rocks Chris.
so I'm gunna loose a few more brain cells tonight in honour Just reported bug fixes to do now, I've also fixed some rendering issues with windows clasic styles (which took a few days of debugging). Hopefully by the end of the weekend it will be released.
lol yes it did, very happy it's gone final thoughZach wrote:The PB4.60 Final release caught me off guard. I bet it got you too!
Later tonight or tomorrowZach wrote:When can we expect updated UserLib/DLL ??
(what's that saying, "good things come in pairs") just fixing the last few bugs now and have a little of the docs to update (not too much though, I've been mostly updating the docs as and when I write new features) and then one or two new examples to write. 
Thanks d00d, should have it done later todayZach wrote:Awesome man, take your time and don't rush.
No pressure from me
aye tell me about it mate! bloody docs lolelectrochrisso wrote:Great news there good buddy.
Those pesky docs do take up a lot of time.
get it while it's hot! 
... now I wait for the flood of bug reports lol
