Registering Object Look-and-Feel Handlers Into a New Look-and-Feel Handler

Rogue Wave Views Gadgets > Customizing the Look and Feel > Creating a New Look-and-Feel Handler > Registering Object Look-and-Feel Handlers Into a New Look-and-Feel Handler

To register object look-and-feel handlers into a new look-and-feel handler, you can either:

override the createObjectLFHandler method or

use the IlvRegisterObjectLFHandler macro.

For example, by using the IlvRegisterObjectLFHandler macro, you can code in the definition file:

IlvRegisterObjectLFHandler(MyLookFeelHandler, IlvButton, MyButtonLFHandler);

This will register the object look-and-feel handler class MyButtonLFHandler into the look-and-feel handler MyLookFeelHandler for the IlvButton class. This means that when an IlvButton object that has the look-and-feel MyLookFeelHandler tries to retrieve its object look-and-feel handler, it will get a pointer on a MyButtonLFHandler instance.
