Detailed Description

Description class.

Library: ivstudio

A buffer is a document that is edited in Rogue Wave Views Studio. It uses an IlvManager to display, edit, save and read its contents. If you need to subclass the manager to save more information concerning your objects, for example, you have to subclass a corresponding buffer. The IlvStBuffer class is defined to encapsulate the IlvManager.

Member Function Documentation

virtual IlvContainer* IlvStContainerInfo::createContainer	(	IlvDisplay *	display,
		const char *	name,
		const char *	title,
		const IlvRect &	bbox,
		IlUInt	properties,
		IlBoolean	useacc,
		IlBoolean	visible,
		IlvSystemView	transientFor
	)			[pure virtual]

Creates a container that is a top window.

must be defined by the subclasses to create a container that is a top window.

Parameters:

	display	The display instance.
	name	The name of the view.
	title	The title of this top window.
	bbox	The initial location and size of the view, relative to the root window of display.
	properties	The properties of the view.
	useacc	This optional Boolean parameter must be set to IlFalse if you do not want the default accelerators to be installed at creation time.
	visible	A Boolean value specifying whether the view is to be initially visible IlTrue or invisible IlFalse.
	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.

Returns:

The created container.

virtual IlvContainer* IlvStContainerInfo::createContainer	(	IlvAbstractView *	parent,
		const IlvRect &	bbox,
		IlBoolean	useacc,
		IlBoolean	visible
	)			[pure virtual]

Creates a container that is a child.

Must be defined by the subclasses to create a container that is a child of the specified parent.

Parameters:

	parent	The parent of the container.
	bbox	The bounding box of the container.
	useacc	This optional Boolean parameter must be set to IlFalse if you do not want the default accelerators to be installed at creation time.
	visible	A Boolean value specifying whether the view is to be initially visible IlTrue or invisible IlFalse.

Returns:

The created container.

virtual const char* IlvStContainerInfo::getFileCreatorClass

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns the class name of the container.

Must be defined by the subclasses to return the class name of the IlvOutputFile that is expected by the container created by the IlvStContainerInfo. For example, an IlvGadgetContainer expects to read the data files generated by an IlvGadgetManager. An IlvGadgetManager uses an IlvGadgetManagerOutputFile to generate its data files. Therefore the method getFileCreatorClass of the container information class that creates instances of IlvGadgetContainer must return "IlvGadgetManagerOutputFile".

Returns:

The class name.
