Create GUI from scratch (tutorial request)  Modified By Jarzka  on 2/5/2012 10:10:17 AM

Hi

 Is there any tutorial available which shows how to add Game UI references to the existing project and use it? I found the sample files very difficult to follow as this is my first time adding 3rd party components to my existing project :)

Re: Create GUI from scratch (tutorial request) 

Now I have added all the necessary code from ControlSample example to my empty project and it should show the example controls. I can build the solution, but it gives me runtime error:

 var content = new ContentManager(Game.Services, "BlendBlueTheme");
        theme = content.Load<Theme>("Theme");

Error loading "Theme". File not found. 

I have also added all the theme projects to my solution but it doesn't find the theme xml file.

I also tried to open the ControlSample example, I removed BlendBlueTheme project and then added it back but it doesn't find it anymore. Could anyone help me, please?

Re: Create GUI from scratch (tutorial request) 
In your project, e.g. ControlSample, you have to add a Content Reference  to the Content project:
In Visual Studio, right-click your project in the solution explorer and select "Add Content Reference...". A dialog pops up where you have to select the BlendBlueTheme.
