NuklearCPP

Based on Nuklear, a signle-header ANSI C gui library, the NukllearCPP provides a C++ interface to the ANSI C functions. The NuklearCPP is currently under developement. There are only some functions/widgets working by now.

Checkout the ANSI C library Nuklear more information.

Basic Idea

The basic idea behind NuklearCPP is, to create a easy to use C++ interface with callback function to the Nuklear GUI library. To implement a window you have to extent one of the BaseWindows that run the renderer for you. For example you can extent the NuklearBaseWindowGDI. To initialise the window just call init();.

class TestWindow : public NuklearBaseWindowGDI
{
public:
    TestWindow();
};

TestWindow::TestWindow() : NuklearBaseWindowGDI( NK_NBWB_MULTI_WINDOW )
{
    init();
}

The main

The main have to create a instace of your window. Than the application have to be called. The exec method will start the event loop and will return if the window is closed.

#include "testwindow.h"

int main(void)
{
    TestWindow app;
    return NuklearCPPApplication::exec();
}

Adding widgets

First of all you need to add a new NuklearWindow by calling addNuklearWindow();. This will give you a pointer to a NuklearWindow. By calling one of the add functions you can add widgets to the window.

Attention: You need always a layout to add windgets to.

NuklearWindow * nw = this->addNuklearWindow();
nw->resize(50, 50, 200, 400);
nw->setText("Test Window");
nw->setFlags(NK_WINDOW_BORDER|NK_WINDOW_MOVABLE|NK_WINDOW_SCALABLE|NK_WINDOW_CLOSABLE|NK_WINDOW_MINIMIZABLE|NK_WINDOW_TITLE);

NuklearLayoutRowDynamic * l1 = static_cast<NuklearLayoutRowDynamic*>(nw->addLayoutRowDynamic( 30, 1 ));
l1->addLabel("Hello World!");

Binging callbacks

You may bind the callback function at the creation of the object.

#include <functional>

...

NuklearButton * b1 = static_cast<NuklearButton*>(l3->addButton("Test _1_"));
b1->setOnClick(NK_CPP_BIND(TestWindow, button1Clicked, this));

The callback function is defined in the example below.

class TestWindow : public NuklearBaseWindowGDI
{
public:
    TestWindow();
    void button1Clicked();
};

Widgets

Currently the following widgets are supported:

Button
Checkbox
Groupbox
Label
Layout Row Dynamic
Layout Row Static
Selectable
Slider
Text Edit
Window
