Designed for developers and content-creators, not the typical end-user! Some of the weaknesses includes:
|
||||
- doesn't look fancy, doesn't animate
|
||||
- limited layout features, intricate layouts are typically crafted in code
|
||||
- occasionally uses statically sized buffers for string manipulations - won't crash, but some very long pieces of text may be clipped. functions like ImGui::TextUnformatted() don't have such restriction.

- Every frame:
|
||||
1/ in your mainloop or right after you got your keyboard/mouse info, call ImGui::GetIO() and fill the fields marked 'Input'
|
||||
2/ call ImGui::NewFrame() as early as you can!
|
||||
3/ use any ImGui function you want between NewFrame() and Render()
|
||||
4/ call ImGui::Render() as late as you can to end the frame and finalize render data. it will call your RenderDrawListFn handler that you set in the IO structure.
|
||||
(if you don't need to render, you still need to call Render() and ignore the callback, or call EndFrame() instead. if you call neither some aspects of windows focusing/moving will appear broken.)

||||
- all rendering information are stored into command-lists until ImGui::Render() is called.

USING GAMEPAD/KEYBOARD NAVIGATION [BETA]
|
||||
|
||||
- Gamepad/keyboard navigation support is available, it is currently in Beta and has issues. Your feedback and bug reports are welcome.
|
||||
- See https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/323 for discussion thread and ask questions.
|
||||
- The current primary focus is to support game controllers.
|
||||
- Consider emulating a mouse cursor with DualShock4 touch pad or a spare analog stick as a mouse-emulation fallback.
|
||||
- Consider using Synergy host (on your computer) + uSynergy.c (in your console/tablet/phone app) to use PC mouse/keyboard.
|
||||
- Being able to share and transition inputs between imgui navigation and your own game/application is tricky, and may requires further work on imgui.
|
||||
For gamepad use, the easiest approach is to go all-or-nothing, with a buttons combo that toggle your inputs between imgui and your game/application.
|
||||
For more advanced uses, you may want to use:
|
||||
- io.NavUsable: true when a window is focused and it doesn't have the ImGuiWindowFlags_NoNavInputs flag set.
|
||||
- io.NavActive: true when the navigation cursor is visible (and usually goes false when mouse is used).
|
||||
- query focus information with IsWindowFocused(), IsAnyWindowFocused(), IsAnyItemFocused() functions.
|
||||
The reality is more complex than what those flags can express. Please discuss your issues and usage scenario in the thread above.
|
||||
As we head toward more keyboard-oriented development this aspect will need to be improved.
|
||||
- It is recommended that you enable the 'io.NavMovesMouse' option. Enabling it instructs ImGui that it can request moving your move cursor to track navigated items and ease readability.
|
||||
When enabled and using directional navigation (with d-pad or arrow keys), the NewFrame() functions may alter 'io.MousePos' and set 'io.WantMoveMouse' to notify you that it did so.
|
||||
When that happens your back-end will need to move the OS mouse cursor on the _next_ frame. The examples binding in examples/ do that.
|
||||
|
||||
// Application init
|
||||
io.NavMovesMouse = true;
|
||||
|
||||
// Application main loop
|
||||
if (io.WantMoveMouse)
|
||||
MyFuncToSetMousePosition(io.MousePos.x, io.MousePos.y);
|
||||
ImGui::NewFrame();
|
||||
|
||||
In a setup when you may not have easy control over the mouse cursor (e.g. uSynergy doesn't expose changing remote mouse cursor),
|
||||
you might want to set a boolean to request ignoring your other external mouse positions until they move again.
