Possible to use input field elements without the simluated window?
airtonix opened this issue · comments
I have a screen for a game where the user enters parameters for the level creation.
I don't want the draggable window, is it possible to just render the ui elements without it?
Hi there, thank you for your question.
All elements are bound to a window region, even if you didn't specify one. Because in this case, Dear ImGui uses a "default" window.
If the core issue is that the window should not be draggable, use the window creation flag WindowFlagsNoMove. If you want to avoid the section to look like a window with a title bar, you can also specify WindowFlagsNoTitleBar.
To completely hide the fact that there's a window, there's also WindowFlagsNoBackground.
If you are curious for more, there are many more flags, see here:

Nah, for asthetic reasons i dont want any window at all, just the input elements.
