Public Member Functions

	Construct.
	~UI () override
	Destruct.
void	SetCursor (Cursor *cursor)
	Set cursor UI element.
void	SetFocusElement (UIElement *element, bool byKey=false)
	Set focused UI element.
bool	SetModalElement (UIElement *modalElement, bool enable)
	Set modal element. Until all the modal elements are dismissed, all the inputs and events are only sent to them. Return true when successful. Only the modal element can clear its modal status or when it is being destructed.
void	Clear ()
	Clear the UI (excluding the cursor).
void	Update (float timeStep)
	Update the UI logic. Called by HandlePostUpdate().
void	RenderUpdate ()
	Update the UI for rendering. Called by HandleRenderUpdate().
void	Render (bool renderUICommand=false)
	Render the UI. If renderUICommand is false (default), is assumed to be the default UI render to backbuffer called by Engine, and will be performed only once. Additional UI renders to a different rendertarget may be triggered from the renderpath.
