<p> This tutorial shows how to create a more complex application with
|
||
|
|
the engine. We construct a simple mesh viewer using the user interface
|
||
|
|
API and the scenemanagement of Irrlicht.<br>
|
||
|
|
The tutorial shows how to create and use Buttons, Windows, Toolbars,
|
||
|
|
Menus, ComboBoxes, Tabcontrols, Editboxes, Images, MessageBoxes, SkyBoxes,
|
||
|
|
and how to parse XML files with the integrated XML reader of the engine.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The program which is described here will look like this:</p>

<p>We start like in most other tutorials: Include all nesessary header
|

|
|
files, add a comment to let the engine be linked with the right .lib
|
||
|
|
file in Visual Studio, and deklare some global variables. We also
|
||
|
|
add two 'using namespece' statements, so we do not need to write the
|
||
|
|
whole names of all classes. In this tutorial, we use a lot stuff from
|
||
|
|
the gui namespace.</p>

<p> To get all the events sent by the GUI Elements, we need to create
|
||
|
|
an event receiver. This one is really simple. If an event occurs,
|
||
|
|
it checks the id of the caller and the event type, and starts an action
|
||
|
|
based on these values. For example, if a menu item with id 100 was
|
||
|
|
selected, if opens a file-open-dialog. </p>

<p> Most of the hard work is done. We only need to create the Irrlicht
|
||
|
|
Engine device and all the buttons, menus and toolbars. We start up the
|
||
|
|
engine as usual, using createDevice(). To make our application catch
|
||
|
|
events, we set our eventreceiver as parameter. The #ifdef WIN32 preprocessor
|
||
|
|
commands are not necesarry, but I included them to make the tutorial
|
||
|
|
use DirectX on Windows and OpenGL on all other platforms like Linux.
|
||
|
|
As you can see, there is also a unusual call to IrrlichtDevice::setResizeAble().
|
||
|
|
This makes the render window resizeable, which is quite useful for a
|
||
|
|
mesh viewer. </p>

<p> The next step is to read the configuration file. It is stored in the
|
||
|
|
xml format and looks a little bit like this:<br>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
<font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><?xml version="1.0"?><br>
|
||
|
|
<config><br>
|
||
|
|
<startUpModel file="some filename" /><br>
|
||
|
|
<messageText caption="Irrlicht Engine Mesh Viewer"><br>
|
||
|
|
Hello!<br>

|
|
</messageText><br>
|
||
|
|
</config></font><br>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
We need the data stored in there to be written into the global variables
|
||
|
|
StartUpModelFile, MessageText and Caption. This is now done using the
|
||
|
|
Irrlicht Engine integrated XML parser: </p>

<p> That wasn't difficult. Now we'll set a nicer font and create the Menu.
|
||
|
|
It is possible to create submenus for every menu item. The call menu->addItem(L"File",
|
||
|
|
-1, true, true); for example adds a new menu Item with the name "File"
|
||
|
|
and the id -1. The following parameter says that the menu item should
|
||
|
|
be enabled, and the last one says, that there should be a submenu. The
|
||
|
|
submenu can now be accessed with menu->getSubMenu(0), because the
|
||
|
|
"File" entry is the menu item with index 0. </p>

That's nearly the whole application. We simply show the about message
|
||
|
|
box at start up, and load the first model. To make everything look better,
|
||
|
|
a skybox is created and a user controled camera, to make the application
|
||
|
|
a little bit more interactive. Finally, everything is drawed in a standard
|
||
|
|
drawing loop.<br>
