Hi everyone,

I am very new to this forum and OpenGL as well. What I am currently
doing is writing an OO C++ wrapper around OpenGL functions.

One thing that I wanted to do was create UI elements rendered in
OpenGL. Does anyone know of any examples that, for example, render a
command button or a user menu in OpenGL. Basically an UI element that
accepts input from the user and methods to find out which UI element
was clicked.

Cheers,
xargy

If you have in mind to create a gui in opengl, take a look to amanith library, for handle curves, paths, tessellations and so on...

Perhaps you think NUI is usefull for you:

http://home.gna.org/ngl/about.html

It does exacly what you like and it's OpenSource. So why programming
something new?
