GUIUtil Alternative?

#1 If you have Pro, just copy the GUIUtil code in Util.cs from Torque X 1.0 to Util.cs in Torque X 2.0. Don't know why it was left out.

#2 I don't have a pro. What should I do?

#3 @Dro

Try requesting it be added. I don't see any reason why it was removed. The fix is just a matter of copying the class from the 1.0 Util.cs to the 2.0 Util.cs. For those with Pro, it's easy to do. For those without, the only hope is GG added it in the next release.

#4 Wow. This is one of the worse releases that GG has done :(.

#5 All you have to do is instantiate your GUI classes. I was wondering where that method went also but I just went ahead and just new'd them myself and everything worked. So I think the InitGUIScreens method just instantiates them and thats it.

#6 InitGUIScreens doesn't exist. Can you post some code so I can get a better understanding?

#7 All InitGUIScreens does is

/// Using reflection, call the constructor to any classes implementing
/// the IGUIScreen interface within the namespace provided.

In other words, it automatically creates an instance of any class defined with the IGUIScreen interface.
You can manually create instances yourself with new.

#8 Where would I have to put new?

What instance do I have to create?

#9 @Dro

At the point in the code where you have,

GUIUtil.InitGUIScreens("StarterGame.UI");

This creates instances of all classes in the namespace StarterGame.UI that have the IGUIScreen interface. You can replace this line by ones that create new instances of these classes. I don't know what classes are in your StarterGame.UI, but as an example suppose there was a class defined like this:

public class MainMenuGUI : GUIBitmap, IGUIScreen
{
    // etc
}

Now you would replace the call to InitGUIScreens with something like

_mainMenuGUI = new MainMenuGUI();

Then you also have to define the field _mainMenuGUI

MainMenuGUI _mainMenuGUI;

Of course, this is just an example, and you would have to replace it by the gui classes in your example.

#10 Oh okay, thanks :D
