With the Mogre MyGUI wrapper it's possible to use the ((MyGUI)) system by ((MOGRE|Mogre)).


{QUOTE(replyto="mstoyke")}I'm currently using a slightly extended version of MyGUI with their C++/CLI wrapper. It's a __very good GUI system__ and the __.NET bindings work very well__. You can even use their __layout editor__ and use the GUI layouts easily. I'm too busy right now to write detailed instructions on how to get it work but I can offer to post a patch in unified diff format with my changes and some lines of example code.{QUOTE}

!Download

The source code you can get in the [http://mygui.info/#ui-tabs-17|download area] of the MyGUI website.
The Mogre/.NET wrapper is part of the MyGUI project and can be found in the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/my-gui/|MyGUI repository].

Additionally look to the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/my-gui/files/|binary download section]. It contains the Mogre wrapper, dependencies, demos and the layout editor.


!Usage

{QUOTE(replyto="Tubulii")}
I am using MyGui in my mogre app successfully. It wasn't hard, anything you need is [http://sourceforge.net/projects/my-gui/files/Managed%20MyGUI%20for%20Mogre/MyGUI%20for%20Mogre%201.6.5/Managed_for_MogreSDK_1.6.zip/download|here] and [http://sourceforge.net/projects/my-gui/files/Managed%20MyGUI%20for%20Mogre/MyGUI%20for%20Mogre%201.6.5/MogreFramework_MyGUI_3.0.zip/download|here](all for Mogre 1.6.5.)
The second one is optional, but there is one file you need: __export.vs__ . This codefile contains some functions to init and destroy MyGui. I never tried to use the MOGREframework in that package, I used the one in the Wiki. Some classes aren't wrapped, but all basic things seams to work fine.

!Wrapper details

The MyGUI repository has the directory [https://my-gui.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/my-gui/trunk/Wrappers|Wrappers]. This contains several subdirectories. For some we know the meaning:

* __MyGUI.Export (C++):__ . . . . Exports all needed functions of the native MyGui
* __MyGUI.Sharp:__ . . . . A C# Wrapper of MyGui (needs file ''MyGui.export'')
** The depencies are ''MyGUIEngine.dll'' and ''MyGui.export.dll'' (and .NET)
** For Mogre is only an indirect depency: You need Mogre for creating  ''MyGui.export.dll''
* __MyGUI.OgrePlatform.Export(C++):__ . . . . Exports all needed functions of the native MyGui
* __MyGUI.Managed:__ . . . . A CLI/C++ Wrapper (needs ''MyGUI.OgrePlatform.Export'')

Note:
''MyGui.managed'' and ''MyGui.sharp'' seems to be equal. Maybe the C# one is a port of the managed one and not a build from scratch.
