Member Function Documentation

◆ add()

void tgui::BackendGui::add	(	const Widget::Ptr &	widgetPtr,
		const String &	widgetName = "" )

Adds a widget to the container.

Parameters

widgetPtr	Pointer to the widget you would like to add
widgetName	If you want to access the widget later then you must do this with this name

Warning: Widgets should be named as if they are C++ variables, i.e. names must not include any whitespace, or most symbols (e.g.: +, -, *, /, ., &), and should not start with a number. If you do not follow these rules, layout expressions may give unexpected results. Alphanumeric characters and underscores are safe to use, and widgets are permitted to have no name.

◆ focusNextWidget()

bool tgui::BackendGui::focusNextWidget ( bool recursive = true )

Focuses the next widget in the gui.

Parameters

recursive If the focused widget is a container, should the next widget inside it be focused instead of focusing the sibling of the container?

Returns: Whether a new widget was focused

◆ focusPreviousWidget()

bool tgui::BackendGui::focusPreviousWidget ( bool recursive = true )

Focuses the previous widget in the gui.

Parameters

recursive If the focused widget is a container, should the next widget inside it be focused instead of focusing the sibling of the container?

Returns: Whether a new widget was focused

◆ get() [1/2]

TGUI_NODISCARD Widget::Ptr tgui::BackendGui::get ( const String & widgetName ) const

Returns a pointer to an earlier created widget.

Parameters

widgetName The name that was given to the widget when it was added to the container

Returns: Pointer to the earlier created widget

The gui will first search for widgets that are direct children of it, but when none of the child widgets match the given name, a recursive search will be performed.

Warning: This function will return nullptr when an unknown widget name was passed

◆ get() [2/2]

template<class WidgetType >

TGUI_NODISCARD WidgetType::Ptr tgui::BackendGui::get ( const String & widgetName ) const

inline

Returns a pointer to an earlier created widget.

Parameters

widgetName The name that was given to the widget when it was added to the container

Returns: Pointer to the earlier created widget. The pointer will already be casted to the desired type

The gui will first search for widgets that are direct children of it, but when none of the child widgets match the given name, a recursive search will be performed.

Warning: This function will return nullptr when an unknown widget name was passed

◆ getBackendRenderTarget()

TGUI_NODISCARD std::shared_ptr< BackendRenderTarget > tgui::BackendGui::getBackendRenderTarget ( ) const

Returns the backend render target that is assigned to the gui.

Returns: Render target that was created when a window was passed to the gui, or nullptr if it hasn't been created yet

◆ getContainer()

TGUI_NODISCARD RootContainer::Ptr tgui::BackendGui::getContainer ( ) const

Returns the internal container of the Gui.

This could be useful when having a function that should accept both the gui and e.g. a child window as parameter.

Warning: Not all functions in the Container class make sense for the Gui (which is the reason that the Gui does not inherit from Container), so calling some functions (e.g. setSize) on the container will have no effect.

Returns: Reference to the internal Container class

◆ getFocusedChild()

TGUI_NODISCARD Widget::Ptr tgui::BackendGui::getFocusedChild ( ) const

Returns the child widget that is focused inside this container.

Returns: Focused child widget or nullptr if none of the widgets are currently focused

If the focused widget is a container then a pointer to that container is returned. If you want to know which widget is focused inside that container (recursively) then you should use the getFocusedLeaf() function.

◆ getFocusedLeaf()

TGUI_NODISCARD Widget::Ptr tgui::BackendGui::getFocusedLeaf ( ) const

Returns the leaf child widget that is focused inside this container.

Returns: Focused leaf child widget or nullptr if none of the widgets are currently focused

If the focused widget is a container then the getFocusedLeaf() is recursively called on that container. If you want to limit the search to only direct children of this container then you should use the getFocusedChild() function.

◆ getFont()

TGUI_NODISCARD Font tgui::BackendGui::getFont ( ) const

Returns the global font for this gui.

Returns: Font for widgets in the gui

◆ getOpacity()

TGUI_NODISCARD float tgui::BackendGui::getOpacity ( ) const

◆ getWidgetAtPos()

TGUI_NODISCARD Widget::Ptr tgui::BackendGui::getWidgetAtPos	(	Vector2f	pos,
		bool	recursive ) const

Returns the widget that is located at the given position.

Parameters

pos	The location where the widget will be searched, relative to the gui view
recursive	If the widget at the position is a container, should the search continue inside it instead of just returning the container? The child container may still be returned when recursive is true, but only if none of its children are located at the searched position.

Returns: Widget at the queried position, or nullptr when there is no widget at that location

void tgui::BackendGui::setAbsoluteView ( const FloatRect & view )

Sets the part of the gui that will be used to fill the viewport in pixels.

Parameters

view	Rect of the gui that will be stretched to fill the viewport

No stretching will occur when the view has the same size as the viewport (default).

Example code to use the contents of the gui container from top-left (200,100) to bottom-right (600, 400) and stetch it to fill the viewport (which equals the entire window by default):

gui.setAbsoluteView({200, 100, 400, 300});

◆ setAbsoluteViewport()

void tgui::BackendGui::setAbsoluteViewport ( const FloatRect & viewport )

Sets the part of the screen to which the gui will render in pixels.

gui.setAbsoluteViewport({400, 0, 400, 600});

◆ setDrawingUpdatesTime()

void tgui::BackendGui::setDrawingUpdatesTime ( bool drawUpdatesTime )

Sets whether drawing the gui will automatically update the internal clock or whether the user does it manually.

void tgui::BackendGui::setFont ( const Font & font )

Changes the global font.

Parameters

font	Font to use

◆ setKeyboardNavigationEnabled()

void tgui::BackendGui::setKeyboardNavigationEnabled ( bool enabled )

Changes whether using the arrow keys can be used to navigate between widgets.

Parameters

enabled Should keyboard navigation be enabled?

Even when enabled, you may still need to tell widgets where they need to navigate to when an arrow key is pressed. Kayboard navigation is disabled by default.

Note that this option affects the return value of handleEvent for key press events. Normally all key events are marked as handled, but by enabling this option handleEvent will only return true if the key was actually handled.

Since: TGUI 1.1

◆ setOpacity()

void tgui::BackendGui::setOpacity ( float opacity )

Changes the opacity of all widgets.

Parameters

opacity The opacity of the widgets. 0 means completely transparent, while 1 (default) means fully opaque

◆ setOverrideMouseCursor()

void tgui::BackendGui::setOverrideMouseCursor ( Cursor::Type type )

Overrides which cursor gets shown.

Parameters

type	Which cursor to show

Warning: You must call restoreOverrideCursor() for every call to setOverrideCursor.

Until restoreOverrideCursor is called, the cursor will no longer be changed by widgets. If setOverrideCursor is called multiple times, the cursors are stacked and calling restoreOverrideCursor will only pop the last added cursor from the stack.

◆ setRelativeView()

void tgui::BackendGui::setRelativeView ( const FloatRect & view )

Sets the part of the gui that will be used to fill the viewport.

Parameters

view	Rect of the gui that will be stretched to fill the viewport, relative to the viewport size

The default view is (0, 0, 1, 1) so that no scaling happens even when the viewport is changed.

Example code to zoom in on the gui and display everything at 2x the size:

gui.setRelativeView({0, 0, 0.5f, 0.5f});

◆ setRelativeViewport()

void tgui::BackendGui::setRelativeViewport ( const FloatRect & viewport )

Sets the part of the screen to which the gui will render as a ratio relative to the window size.

Parameters

viewport Rect of the window to which the gui should draw, relative to the window size

The default viewport is set to (0, 0, 1, 1) so that it fills the entire window.

Example code to render the gui on only the right side of window:

gui.setRelativeViewport({0.5f, 0, 0.5f, 1});

◆ setTextSize()

void tgui::BackendGui::setTextSize ( unsigned int size )

Changes the character size of all existing and future child widgets.

Parameters

size	The new text size

The text size specified in this function overrides the global text size property. By default, the gui does not pass any text size to the widgets and the widgets will use the global text size as default value.

◆ setWidgetIndex()

bool tgui::BackendGui::setWidgetIndex	(	const Widget::Ptr &	widget,
		std::size_t	index )

Changes the index of a widget in this container.

Widgets are drawn in the order of the list, so overlapping widgets with a higher index will appear on top of others.

Parameters

widget	Widget that is to be moved to a different index
index	New index of the widget, corresponding to the widget position after the widget has been moved

Returns: True when the index was changed, false if widget wasn't found in the container or index was too high

inputRect	The rectangle where text is being inputted
caretPos	Location of the text cursor, relative to the gui view

Reimplemented in tgui::BackendGuiGLFW, tgui::BackendGuiRaylib, tgui::BackendGuiSDL, and tgui::BackendGuiSFML.

◆ updateTime()

bool tgui::BackendGui::updateTime ( )

Updates the internal clock (for timers, animations and blinking edit cursors)

Returns: True if the the contents of the screen changed, false if nothing changed
