There are a whole bunch of threads about this on the forums. Just search for UIView. There could also be something on the wiki as well. Embedding Ogre in a custom UIView is only properly supported in 1.8.

hi, thanks for the quick reply!

i have searched and found the threads you referring to but they are not "complete":

also, i didnt know its only supported in 1.8! i used 1.7.3...
i'll try with it


another problem i have:

do you know what could cause ogre window to be black and blank?
i have a suspicion that the rendersystem is not set correctly.

Code: Select all

#define OGRE_STATIC_GLES
...
mRoot = new Ogre::Root("","");
...
StaticPluginLoader mStaticPluginLoader;
mStaticPluginLoader.load();

RenderSystemList renderers = mRoot->getAvailableRenderers();

//See if the list is empty (no renderers available)
	if(renderers.empty())
		return false;

	// pick up the first one from the list - should be only GL
	mRenderSystem = (*renderers.begin());
		
	Root::getSingleton().setRenderSystem(mRenderSystem);

i have not used root->loadPlugin nor config file
is what i did suppose to work?

thanks

It would be a good idea to use a config file to easily let it know what render system to use and options for setting it up.

[dowi]

ok, but should it work?

Code: Select all

#define OGRE_STATIC_GLES
mRoot = new Ogre::Root("","");
...
StaticPluginLoader mStaticPluginLoader;
mStaticPluginLoader.load();

is this a valid way to go through?

because i see a black blank screen

[masterfalcon]

Maybe, maybe not. It very easy to just use a config file though.
