I’ve got a very special problem (as usual : ), and couldn’t find a good solution yet.
Probable the solution very fair and simple with JUCE (like in most cases),
so I ask you for a little help. I made a panel with buttons and sub-panel
(and the latter have other components): http://www.addax.hu/juce01.JPG
I “hide” this panel (eg.: setTopLeftPosition(scr_width,0)), and capture it’s appearance
by HWND of panel, for a texture of a 3D object. If I “click” with my 3D device, projected
2D positon calculated, and PostMessage(panel_hwnd,WM_LBUTTONDOWN,…) called.
(Yes, I know, this quick and dirty solution could be used for demo purposes, only.
But I want to check a possibility of a “real” 3D-gui : )
It’s working if I pick color (or browse files with another subpanel), but
I can’t click to buttons - except: if part of button is in the screen’s rectangle.
Has anyone any suggestions to click to buttons?
Yes: I didn’t discern it. Sorry! :oops: I’ve tried out this, and it’s working wonderfully.
Only a little complement needed for making textures under win32 - like the flipIt at this: http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp?lesson=35 )
But I still thinking about accessibility of buttons… :roll: (It would be so amazing for me )
The “correct” way to handle a component that’s embedded inside something other than a normal window is to write a special ComponentPeer for it. That’s how the MagnifierComponent works - a special peer lets you redirect all the mouse and redrawing to whatever input/output device you need. It’s a bit tricky though, and not as well-documented as the rest of the code because it’s so specialised.
