ListBox Overhaul, new and improved API available and some more

// December 13th, 2010 // 4 Comments » // demo, design, docs

The ListBox has been greatly improved and got itself a new Nifty Java API. You can find an example right here (click the image for a webstart demo) or keep reading for all the details below.

Example

You can check the first example of the new ListBox online with the following Webstart URL:

The source code of this project is available online. You can check out the source directly from SVN using https://nifty-gui.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nifty-gui/nifty-default-controls-examples/trunk or you can browse it online here: http://nifty-gui.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nifty-gui/nifty-default-controls-examples/trunk/.

And if that is not enough … we’ve done the same new API treatment to the CheckBox and we plan to do the same to the remaining Nifty Standard Controls!

Reference in the Wiki

You can find a complete reference about the new standard controls in Nifty 1.3 already on the Wiki (for the ListBox and the CheckBox):

And you can keep reading about all the little Nifty details we’ve changed and improved and especially why.

Nifty 1.2 Tutorial/Demo

The Tutorial/Demo has been greatly improved and updated with Nifty 1.2 informations and is *THE* source to learn how to use Nifty!

Important Information

Please note that starting with Nifty 1.2 the main nifty.jar is now independend of lwjgl and slick2d. This means you need a nifty-<system>-renderer.jar for your rendering system! For instance, if you would like to use Nifty with a Lwjgl based rendering backend you will now need to download nifty-1.2.jar as well as nifty-lwjgl-renderer-1.0.jar!

Please note that we assume that all of the required jars of your rendering system, like lwjgl.jar, slick.jar and so on are downloaded by yourself. The nifty-<system>-renderer.jar only acts as the adapter between nifty and your rendering backend. They don’t come with all the required libs. This decision was simply done under the assumption that Nifty comes as an add on to an existing application.

The Nifty 1.2 compatible jme2 renderer will be available soon after the 1.2 release and Nifty 1.2 will be integrated into jme3 soon as well.
