Empty Keys UI for Xenko

Thanks Kryptos, btw could you rename this topic to just “Empty Keys UI”? I didn’t find any edit option.

There is new version 1.12 with support for latest version of Xenko, Behaviors, fixed Chart control issues, new events on UIElement class and some internal interfaces are public now.

was too short. Looks like 15 chars at least are needed for titles…

UI v1.13 is out with new TextBox features (selection, copy/cut/paste, undo/redo), better tab navigation and much more.

UI was tested with latest Xenko version and NuGet package has new support for UAP.

It’s bit more complex UI library compared to native Xenko one, so if your game UI is more heavy in terms of features, my lib is good alternative. It also contains input support for UI controls for keyboard/mouse/gamepad/touch. MVVM and data binding is preferred way how to use it. It’s XAML based so you can use any XAML editor including Visual Studio or Blend. There are 3 parts of the package, UI Library, Engine support and UI Generator. The last two are open source on GitHub - https://github.com/EmptyKeys

HI, really loving the library. :slight_smile: I have one question about it, though–

Is there any way to use it to make overlay UIs that don’t completely cover up underlying Xenko 3D/2D scene?

I’ve been messing around with the sample Xenko project and can’t seem to create anything that doesn’t cover up the whole screen.

Just set background to transparent on UIRoot.

Well, that works perfectly now. Thanks! Sorry if it was a silly question.

I had the same thought and searched for Clear but it wasn’t there.
