Detailed Description

Drag-drop interactor for graphic objects.

Library: views

Use this class to drag an object to another view, and then drop it to perform a particular action. This class is designed to be subtyped so you can implement your own drop mechanism.

The registered name of this interactor is "DragDrop".

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IlvDragDropInteractor::IlvDragDropInteractor	(	IlvView *	target = 0,
		IlvGraphic *	ghost = 0
	)

Constructor.

The constructor specifies the target view where the object can be dropped. If a graphic object is specified for the ghost parameter, this object is used by the interactor as a ghost image during the interaction. Otherwise, the object to be drawn is the one being dragged.

Parameters

target	The target view.
ghost	The graphic object used as ghost image.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void IlvDragDropInteractor::checkPosition ( IlvPoint &  position )

virtual

Allows you to modify the position at each step of the interaction.

Called when you drag the mouse. You can modify the coordinates of the point position so that they satisfy a given set of constraint.

Parameters

position

The current position provided by the interaction, in the screen coordinate system.

virtual void IlvDragDropInteractor::doIt ( IlvView *  target, IlvGraphic *  ghost, const IlvPoint &  position  )

virtual

Finalizes the interaction.

Called when you release the object over the target view.

Warning

If you plan to create a new object from the ghost parameter, you must create a copy of it.

Parameters

target	The target view where the mouse button is released.
ghost	The graphic object used as ghost image.
position	The coordinates of the ghost image in the screen coordinate system.

virtual void IlvDragDropInteractor::drawGhost ( IlvView *  view, IlvGraphic *  ghost, const IlvPoint &  position, const IlvTransformer *  t = 0  )

virtual

Visual feedback during interaction.

Called to draw a preview image of the resulting user action. The default implementation draws the ghost image on the display screen port.

Parameters

view	The source view that received the IlvButtonDown event.
ghost	The graphic used as ghost image.
position	The position where the drawing must be performed, in the screen coordinate system.
t	The transformer applied to the view view.

See Also

IlvDisplay::screenPort.

virtual void IlvDragDropInteractor::endOperation ( )

virtual

Performs the actions needed when the interaction ends.

The default implementation resets the interactor flags and remove it from its parent, if it exists.

See Also

IlvStackInteractorInterface::removeFromParent

Reimplemented from IlvInteractor.

IlvView* IlvDragDropInteractor::getTarget

(

)

const

Returns the target view.

Returns

The target view.

virtual IlBoolean IlvDragDropInteractor::handleEvent ( IlvGraphic *  g, IlvEvent &  event, const IlvTransformer *  t  )

virtual

Handles events received by the interactor.

This method is the entry point of all events dispatched to this interactor.

Parameters

g	The graphic object that receives the event.
event	The received event.
t	The transformer applied to the view in which the event occurred.

Returns

IlTrue if the event was successfully handled and IlFalse otherwise.

Implements IlvInteractor.

virtual IlBoolean IlvDragDropInteractor::inTarget ( const IlvPoint &  point )

virtual

Indicates whether the current position is in the target view.

Returns

IlTrue if the point point is contained in the target view, and IlFalse otherwise.

Parameters

point

The current position.

void IlvDragDropInteractor::setGhost

(

IlvGraphic *

ghost

)

Sets the graphic object used as ghost image.

Parameters

ghost

The new ghost image.

void IlvDragDropInteractor::setTarget

(

IlvView *

target

)

Sets the target view.

This method can be used to perform a multi-view drag&drop.

Parameters

target

The new target view.

IlBoolean IlvDragDropInteractor::useGhostRectangle

(

)

const

Status of the policy for drawGhost().

Returns

A Boolean value indicating whether you prefer a rectangle to be displayed instead of a ghost image of the dragged object.

void IlvDragDropInteractor::useGhostRectangle

(

IlBoolean

val

)

Sets the policy for drawGhost().

Specifies whether you want a ghost image or a hollow rectangle to be displayed.

Parameters

val	If IlTrue, a ghost rectangle is drawn. Otherwise, the ghost image graphic object is used.
