Can’t get the mouse UI to appear?

Hi

I tried two types of codes and neither is working. Hmmm. So the cursor is the first thing I start before any UI is added.

The start of my main code is

[code]/// Main program execution code
void ExistenceClient::Start()
{
/// Execute base class startup
ExistenceApp::Start();

ResourceCache* cache = GetSubsystem<ResourceCache>();
XMLFile* style = cache->GetResource<XMLFile>("UI/DefaultStyle.xml");
FileSystem * filesystem = GetSubsystem<FileSystem>();

/// create variables (urho3d)
String additionresourcePath;

additionresourcePath.Append(filesystem->GetProgramDir().CString());
additionresourcePath.Append("Resources/");

/// add resource path to last
cache -> AddResourceDir(additionresourcePath);

/// Initialize rudimentary state handler
ExistenceGameState.Start();

/// Configure rudimentary state handler
ExistenceGameState.SetUIState(UI_NONE);
ExistenceGameState.SetGameState(STATE_MAIN);


CreateCursor();

[/code]

Code 2

[code]
int ExistenceClient::CreateCursor(void)
{

/// Define Resouces
ResourceCache* cache = GetSubsystem<ResourceCache>();
Renderer* renderer = GetSubsystem<Renderer>();
Graphics* graphics = GetSubsystem<Graphics>();
UI* ui = GetSubsystem<UI>();
FileSystem * filesystem = GetSubsystem<FileSystem>();

// Create a Cursor UI element because we want to be able to hide and show it at will. When hidden, the mouse cursor will
// control the camera, and when visible, it will point the raycast target
XMLFile* style = cache->GetResource<XMLFile>("UI/DefaultStyle.xml");
SharedPtr<Cursor> cursor(new Cursor(context_));

cursor ->SetDefaultStyle(style);

cursor->SetStyleAuto(style);
ui->SetCursor(cursor);

// Set starting position of the cursor at the rendering window center
cursor->SetPosition(graphics->GetWidth() / 2, graphics->GetHeight() / 2);

return 1;

}[/code]

Code 1

[code]
int ExistenceClient::CreateCursor(void)
{

/// Define Resouces
ResourceCache* cache = GetSubsystem<ResourceCache>();
Renderer* renderer = GetSubsystem<Renderer>();
Graphics* graphics = GetSubsystem<Graphics>();
UI* ui = GetSubsystem<UI>();
FileSystem * filesystem = GetSubsystem<FileSystem>();

Cursor * cursor = new Cursor(context_);

cursor -> SetName("Cursor");
cursor -> SetStyle("Cursor");
cursor -> SetStyleAuto();
cursor -> SetPosition(graphics -> GetWidth() / 2, graphics -> GetHeight() / 2);

cursor ->   ApplyOSCursorShape ();

ui -> SetCursor (cursor);

return 1;

}[/code]

Do you use somewhere:

to actually display the cursor?

That turns on the OS mouse not the UI mouse. i need to figure out how to turn on the UI mouse.

Try this:
