Noob has a few questions

Hi guys,

Great work on MyGUI, it is the cleanest gui app I have worked with when it comes to using Ogre. I have a few questions about a few of the controls because they work in the LE when testing, but not in my app I know it must be something I am doing. They do show up, but some of the functionality is gone. Does this have anything to do with what layer they are on?

On the game options window, there is a tab control, but changing the tab doesn't work. Also none of the combo boxes drop down on mouse click.

Also one last thing, how do I access the close button "X" on the WindowCSX control?

Thanks a lot,

>> Also one last thing, how do I access the close button "X" on the WindowCSX control?

/** Event : Window button pressed.\n
signature : void method(MyGUI::WindowPtr _sender, const std::string& _name)
@param _sender widget that called this event
@param _name of pressed button
*/
EventPair<EventHandle_WidgetString, EventHandle_WindowPtrCStringRef> eventWindowButtonPressed;


example

void notifyWindowButtonPressed(MyGUI::WindowPtr _sender, const std::string& _name)
{
if (_name == "close")
// action
}


Thanks for that my.name. I try to read through the documents, but after a while the Doxygen output makes my eyes cross.
