WidgetWindow not showing in UnigineScript

[karim.salama]

Hi,

In a very simple UnigineScript file, I added the following code :

WidgetWindow window;
int init()
{
	Gui gui = engine.getGui();

	window = new WidgetWindow(gui, "Hello from C++", 4, 4);
	window.setWidth(320);
	window.setSizeable(1);

	WidgetEditLine editline = new WidgetEditLine(gui, "Edit me");
	window.addChild(editline, GUI_ALIGN_EXPAND);
	editline.setFontSize(16);

	WidgetButton button = new WidgetButton(gui, "Press me");
	window.addChild(button, GUI_ALIGN_EXPAND);
	button.setFontSize(18);

	window.arrange();
	gui.addChild(window, GUI_ALIGN_OVERLAP | GUI_ALIGN_CENTER);
  	
  	return 1;
}

The code seems to be executed without any errors or warnings, but I can't see any window upon initialization.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Hi Karim,

When and how this code is being executed? Where you can't see window - in the final application without editor running?

Thanks!

Hi silent,

The code is executed using the -system_script argument when launching the editor.

Here is the batch script that loads it launch_editor.bat

Have you tried to switch to the Engine viewport (Windows -> Engine Viewport). Your window should appear here.

Thanks!

Yes, that worked!

But how can I create a separate window outside of the viewport?

Right now you can do it only by writing a fully-functional C++ / Qt plugin:

• https://developer.unigine.com/en/docs/2.14.1/editor2/extensions/custom_plugin?rlang=cpp

In 2.15 it would be slightly easier, but you would anyway need to use C++ / Qt a bit.

Ok, thank you.

I will give this a try.

Is it possible to add Unigine::Widgets to a QWidget?

Hello Karim,

It will be possible. You will be able to see it in a new Editor plugin in 2.15 - EngineGuiWindow.

Excellent!
