Detailed Description

View class.

Library: display

The IlvView class is provided basically for drawing on the screen. It is designed to be used as the child of a previously created IlvAbstractView class, or as a new top-level window.

See also:: IlvCursor, IlvDisplay, IlvDrawingView, IlvElasticView, IlvScrollView.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IlvView::IlvView	(	IlvAbstractView *	parent,
		const IlvRect &	size,
		IlBoolean	visible = `((IlBoolean) 1)`
	)

Constructor.

This constructor initializes a view object that is a child of the parent view.

Parameters:

	parent	The parent view.
	size	The initial location and size of the view, in the coordinate system of parent.
	visible	Can be set to `IlFalse` to initially hide the window.

IlvView::IlvView	(	IlvDisplay *	display,
		IlvSystemView	available
	)

Constructor.

This constructor creates a new view object by actually using the existing system view indicated by available.

Parameters:

	display	The display instance.
	available	The system view on which this `IlvView` is based.

IlvView::IlvView	(	IlvDisplay *	display,
		IlvSystemView	parent,
		const IlvRect &	size,
		IlBoolean	visible = `((IlBoolean) 1)`
	)

Constructor.

This constructor creates a view that is a child of the existing system view indicated by parent.

Parameters:

	display	The display instance.
	parent	The parent system view.
	size	The initial location and size of the view, in the coordinate system of the existing system view.
	visible	Can be set to `IlFalse` to initially hide the window.

IlvView::IlvView	(	IlvDisplay *	display,
		const char *	name,
		const char *	title,
		const IlvRect &	size,
		IlBoolean	visible = `((IlBoolean) 1)`
	)

Constructor.

This constructor initializes a view object that is a new top window.

Parameters:

	display	The display instance.
	name	The name of this view (used by the resource association mechanism).
	title	The title of this top window.
	size	The initial location and size of the view, relative to the root window of display.
	visible	Can be set to `IlFalse` to initially hide the window.

IlvView::IlvView	(	IlvDisplay *	display,
		const char *	name,
		const char *	title,
		const IlvRect &	size,
		IlUInt	properties,
		IlBoolean	visible = `((IlBoolean) 1)`,
		IlvSystemView	transientFor = `0`
	)

Constructor.

This constructor creates a top window, with an optional parameter properties that makes it possible to tune its aspect. This parameter is an OR combination of these flags:

IlvStandardBorder: the new top window has regular window borders, banner and resize handles.
IlvNoBorder: the new top window has no border. Note that on X Window, setting the property IlvNoBorder is more than a decoration issue. The view creates an override-redirect window; thus, the window manager will ignore it. The application then acts as temporary window manager, which very few applications are prepared to do. The main purpose of IlvNoBorder is to create pop-up windows, like menus.
IlvNoResizeBorder: the new top window has no resize handle; thus, the user cannot resize this window.

The parameter transientFor specifies the system view for which the IlvView is transient. It may be any top-level system view and not necessarily encapsulated by a IlvView. Saying that a view v1 is transient for view v2 means that:

v1 cannot be iconified.
v1 is automatically unmapped when v2 is iconified.
v1 is always on top of v2 (in the windows stacking order).

This notion is applicable to views built as top-level windows ("shells" in Motif). Note that on Windows platforms, if v1 is transient for v2, then the destruction of v2 will automatically destroy v1 as well. You may have to protect your application against this by setting a delete callback on v1 (see setDeleteCallback).

Parameters:

	display	The display instance.
	name	The name of this view (used by the resource association mechanism).
	title	The title of this top window.
	size	The initial location and size of the view, relative to the root window of display.
	properties	The properties of that view (see above).
	visible	Can be set to `IlFalse` to initially hide the window.
	transientFor	The possible system view for which this view is transient. If unspecified or set to `0`, this view will not be transient for any view.

Member Function Documentation

void IlvView::addProperty	(	const IlSymbol *	key,
		IlAny	value
	)

Adds a property to the view.

Adds the property key to the view, associated with the value value.

Parameters:

	key	The property key.
	value	The associated value.

virtual IlBoolean IlvView::applyValue ( const IlvValue & val ) [virtual]

Applies an accessor.

This member function is called by the changeValue function and must not be called directly.
Moreover, no drawing operations are carried out here (and should not be). If you add your own new IlvValue, do not forget to override applyValue as well as changeValue and queryValue, since applyValue is called by changeValue.

Parameters:

val

The new value of the accessor.

Returns:: IlTrue if the accessor was applied, IlFalse otherwise.

Reimplemented from IlvAbstractView.

Reimplemented in IlvContainer.

void IlvView::ensureInScreen	(	IlvPos	xMargin = `0`,
		IlvPos	yMargin = `0`
	)

Ensures that the view remains visible.

This function is meaningful only for top-window views.
It moves this view so that it remains visible on the screen. If the view is higher than the screen, it will not move in the y direction. If the view is wider than the screen, it will not move in the x direction. xMargin and yMargin define margin distances that the view location must respect, as if the screen were 2*xMargin pixels less wide, and 2*yMargin pixels less high.
If the view is already entirely visible on the screen with the margins respected, this function does nothing.

Parameters:

	xMargin	The horizontal margin.
	yMargin	The vertical margin.

const char* IlvView::getName ( ) const

Retrieves the name.

Each view is provided a name at its creation.

Returns:: The name of this view. The returned string must not be modified or deleted.

IlAny IlvView::getProperty ( const IlSymbol * key ) const

Retrieves a property.

Parameters:

key

The property key.

Retrieves the title of this view.

This function is meaningful only for top-window views.

Returns:: The window title. You must not modify or delete the returned string.

IlBoolean IlvView::hasProperty ( const IlSymbol * key ) const

Checks the existence of a property.

Parameters:

key

The property key.

Returns:: IlTrue if the property key exists for the view and IlFalse otherwise.

		IlAny	userArg = `0`
	)			`[virtual]`

Sets a callback for Resize events.

Specifies an IlvResizeCallback function to be called for each resize event that occurs in this view, just after it occurred. You can set as many resize callbacks as you need. The last callback you set is the last to be called.

Parameters:

	resize	The function that is called when Resize events occur in this view.
	userArg	The user parameter that is transmitted to resize when it is called.

void IlvView::setShapeMask	(	IlvBitmap *	mask,
		IlBoolean	useTitle = `((IlBoolean) 0)`

This function is meaningful only for top-window views.
The mask is a bitmap whose transparency defines whether corresponding pixels of the window are visible or not.
An additional flag can be used to specify if the shape mask includes the window title or not (this value is meaningful only on Windows. On X-Window the title area is not accessible to the client).

Parameters:

	mask	The bitmap to use as a mask.
	useTitle	A Boolean value specifying whether the mask includes the title area.

virtual void IlvView::setTitle ( const char * title ) [virtual]

Sets the title of the view.

This function is meaningful only for top-window views.

Parameters:

title

The new title of this view. The string is copied.

virtual void IlvView::show ( ) [virtual]

Shows the view.

Displays the window on the screen. A window can be created in such a way that you cannot see it upon creation, which allows you to draw on that window before it is displayed.

Reimplemented from IlvAbstractView.

Reimplemented in IlvContainer.

virtual IlBoolean IlvView::showModal	(	IlBoolean	doesGrab = `((IlBoolean) 0)`,
		IlvCursor *	cursor = `0`
	)			`[virtual]`

Shows the window in a modal mode.

This function is meaningful only for top-window views.

Parameters:

	doesGrab	Must be set to `IlTrue` to get system modal behavior. If this parameter is set to `IlFalse`, the view uses the application modal behavior. Under Windows, system modality is in contradiction with the concept of multitasking. As a consequence, this parameter must not be set to `IlTrue` under Windows, this usage is not supported.
	cursor	The cursor that must be set on this view when it is shown (only applicable with `systemModal` set to `IlTrue`).

Returns:

IlTrue on success. It returns IlFalse if an error occurred, that is, one of the following conditions is satisfied:

The view is not a top level view but a child view.
The view has no system view.
The view is already in modal use.
The grab failed (only applicable in system modal behavior).
The view has been deleted (not recommended practice!).
The view has been hidden.
