Hello,I'm writting an OpenGL GUI,I use ortho mode for the GUI and the prespective for the 3D rendering. I also want to use Selection(for the 3D Objects not the GUI). When I use Selection with 3D objects everything works fine , but when I add a GUI element to the scene the selection is messed up completely , I think it's something wrong with the GUI rendering specificly the switching between Prespective and Ortho modes --------------------------------------------------------------- the GUI rendering code: glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glPushMatrix(); glLoadIdentity(); glOrtho(0 ,Window.Width , Window.Height , 0 ,0,1); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glPushMatrix(); glLoadIdentity(); glBegin(GL_LINE_LOOP); glColor3f(0.3f,0.3f,0.3f); glVertex2f(m_x ,m_y - TEXTBOX_MARGINS ); glVertex2f(m_x + m_fWidth - m_fLetterSize + 1 ,m_y - TEXTBOX_MARGINS ); glVertex2f(m_x + m_fWidth - m_fLetterSize + 1 ,m_y + m_fHeight + TEXTBOX_MARGINS ); glVertex2f(m_x ,m_y + m_fHeight + TEXTBOX_MARGINS ); glEnd(); glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glPopMatrix(); glMatrixMode( GL_MODELVIEW ); glPopMatrix(); glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); ---------------------------------------------------------------- note that nothing is wrong with the rendering everything is in place.

The 3D code has been complicated , I simplified it to make it easier for me to debug,but I'm still facing the same problem with selection
Here goes
----------------------------------------------------------------
bool IsSelected = false;

bool IsObjectSelected(int name)
{
int objectsFound = 0;
int viewportCoords[4] = {0};

unsigned int selectBuffer[64] = {0};


glSelectBuffer(64, selectBuffer);

glGetIntegerv(GL_VIEWPORT, viewportCoords);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);

glPushMatrix();
glRenderMode(GL_SELECT);
glInitNames();
glPushName(0);
glLoadIdentity();
gluPickMatrix(MouseStatus.Mouse_X, viewportCoords[3] - MouseStatus.Mouse_Y, 2, 2, viewportCoords);
gluPerspective(45.0f,(float)Window.Width/(float)Window.Height,0.1f,1500.0f);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
Update(); //Render GL Scene
objectsFound = glRenderMode(GL_RENDER);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPopMatrix();

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);

if (objectsFound > 0)
{
unsigned int lowestDepth = selectBuffer[1];
int selectedObject = selectBuffer[3];
for(int i = 1; i < objectsFound; i++)
{
if(selectBuffer[(i * 4) + 1] < lowestDepth)
{
lowestDepth = selectBuffer[(i * 4) + 1];
selectedObject = selectBuffer[(i * 4) + 3];
}
}

if (selectedObject == name)return true;
` return false;
}

return false;
}

//HandleMouse Function is called for every frame After the Scene is rendered
void HandleMouse(MouseStruct * MouseStatus)
{
if(IsObjectSelected(5))IsSelected = true;
else IsSelected = false;
return;
}



bool Update()
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glLoadIdentity();
glLoadName(5);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
if(IsSelected)glColor3f(1.0f,1.0f,0.0f);
else glColor3f(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f);
glVertex3f(- 1.0f,-1.0f,-5.0f);
glVertex3f( 1.0f,-1.0f,-5.0f);
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f,-5.0f);
glVertex3f(- 1.0f, 1.0f,-5.0f);
glEnd();
glEnd();

RenderGUI(); // The line of troubles,When commented selection works ok.
return true;
}
void RenderGUI()
{
glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPushMatrix();
glLoadIdentity();

glOrtho(0 ,Window.Width , Window.Height , 0 ,0,1);

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glPushMatrix();
glLoadIdentity();



glBegin(GL_LINE_LOOP);
glColor3f(0.3f,0.3f,0.3f);

glVertex2f(m_x ,m_y - TEXTBOX_MARGINS );
glVertex2f(m_x + m_fWidth - m_fLetterSize + 1 ,m_y - TEXTBOX_MARGINS );
glVertex2f(m_x + m_fWidth - m_fLetterSize + 1 ,m_y + m_fHeight + TEXTBOX_MARGINS );
glVertex2f(m_x ,m_y + m_fHeight + TEXTBOX_MARGINS );
glEnd();

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glPopMatrix();

glMatrixMode( GL_MODELVIEW );
glPopMatrix();

glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);

}

Thank you for your replies , I'm still having the same problem though , I found some way around it,I added a global flag to render the GUI only if I'm in Render mode , and skips the GUI rendering in the Select mode.
Still I would appreciate it if someone found what's wrong with the code.
Thanks again for the replies.
