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?

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).

Chris.

So then it sounds like you plan to eventually support... drawing GUI items in a DirectX/OpenGL Window/Fullscreen game?

If so that would be uber cool...

yup that's right Zach

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.

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 work 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!

Hi Guys, sorry for the delay. Got back from yorkshire on saturday (was visiting my mum and bro), had a really bad hangover as went for drinks with my brother! then had a bit of a heavy halloween weekend lol I just heard the news about Rook 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.

The PB4.60 Final release caught me off guard. I bet it got you too!

When can we expect updated UserLib/DLL ??

Later tonight or tomorrow (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.

Chris.

Awesome man, take your time and don't rush.
No pressure from me

Great news there good buddy.
Those pesky docs do take up a lot of time.
