MyGUI for C#

Altren — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 21:01:10 +0000

We have implemented generator wrappers for the library. Generator parsed data from doxygen, and with the help of templates, performs the generation of wrappers. At the moment there are templates for C# and Managed C++. It is also possible to setup generator for other languages if the need arises.

1. C# – MyGUI.Export.dll (exported functions) + MyGUI.Sharp.dll (wrapper using P/Invoke)
2. Managed C++ – MyGUI.Managed.dll (wrapper using CLR)

At this time, a wrapper does not support Mogre due to specifics of the latter, but we are working in this direction, and version that supports Mogre will be presented .
Generator, wrappers and a demo is now available in MyGUI svn: http://my-gui.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/my-gui

What’s actually pretty. Here we’ll place announces and some docs about MyGUI architecture.

Now site works a little bit slow, but I think we’ll solve this problem. Fix CSS/JavaScript bugs. Fix content .
