Tutorial 01 . Label

Unmanaged Component Handling

The GUI is simple to use. It's very raw.

To create a Label:

Label hello = new Label("Hello World!");

You can give it a position with:

hello.Position = new Point(20, 30);

In your update loop, call the following functions:

hello.UpdateSetup();
hello.UpdateInput();
hello.Update();

For a Label, those functions won't do anything, but it's good to know that they are there. It's also bad practice not to call them.

And in the draw loop:

GuiHelper.DrawGui(spritebatch, hello);

Note: Do not call Begin on the spritebatch that you pass.
