tjui GUI

[tjheldna]

Here is a Simple C++ only GUI system for Leadwerks 3.5 named tjui. This project includes full source and a working example (a game settings window for now).

 

Why use this? For starters it's free! Secondly it uses a mixture and expands on Leadwerks functionality like drawText and drawRect, so there is no messy linking or setup. The system is extremely flexible and in which you can create your own widgets from combinations available.

What's New in Version 1.3 (Current 26/4/15)

• Updated the way widget events occur and they are now as optimised as I can get them to date.
  
• Renamed variables so they are to US spelling i.e color compared to colour.
  
• New modifier class fade in/out/pulsate.
  
• Before if widgets overlapped and the cursor overlapped both, the event would trigger for both. This has now been fixed to only trigger for the topmost widget.
  
• Works with Leadwerks 3.5.
  

What's New in Version 1.2

• If you downloaded any previous version you will need to update to this build. Most if not all changes happen in the base code and shouldn't effect anything else.
  
• Made a mistake setting the root list to only accept windows. I have reversed this. The root node should be the only node without a parent and if you Detatch() you will need to delete the detached widget manually.
  
• Fixed an iterator bug with Modifiers. This is a show stopper if you use one.
  
• Use the Remove() function to remove any widget either a base window or widget.
  
• Added overloaded function to Detatch(), you now can pass an iterator and return it, in case you are using the function in a loop.
  
• Removed UpdateWidget() and the functionality happens elsewhere and more efficiently.
  
• Added a few random optimisations as I saw them
  

What's New in Version 1.1

• Fix bug with SetPosY due to last minute variable name change.
  
• Overhaul of standard Button Widget code.
  
• Widgets children now use lists not vectors.
  
• The Interface only accepts windows to be added at the root level.
  
• Many optimisations.
  
• Settings window. I've started to create a settings window so you don't have to!

If you have any ideas on how to improve pm me, or post here. I really hope this can be put to good use. Also if this system is used in your game i'd like to know!
