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 = IlTrue 
)

Constructor.

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

Parameters
parentThe parent view.
sizeThe initial location and size of the view, in the coordinate system of parent.
visibleCan 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
displayThe display instance.
availableThe system view on which this IlvView is based.
IlvView::IlvView ( IlvDisplay display,
IlvSystemView  parent,
const IlvRect size,
IlBoolean  visible = IlTrue 
)

Constructor.

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

Parameters
displayThe display instance.
parentThe parent system view.
sizeThe initial location and size of the view, in the coordinate system of the existing system view.
visibleCan be set to IlFalse to initially hide the window.
IlvView::IlvView ( IlvDisplay display,
const char *  name,
const char *  title,
const IlvRect size,
IlBoolean  visible = IlTrue 
)

Constructor.

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

Parameters
displayThe display instance.
nameThe name of this view (used by the resource association mechanism).
titleThe title of this top window.
sizeThe initial location and size of the view, relative to the root window of display.
visibleCan 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 = IlTrue,
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
displayThe display instance.
nameThe name of this view (used by the resource association mechanism).
titleThe title of this top window.
sizeThe initial location and size of the view, relative to the root window of display.
propertiesThe properties of that view (see above).
visibleCan be set to IlFalse to initially hide the window.
transientForThe 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
keyThe property key.
valueThe 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
valThe new value of the accessor.
Returns
IlTrue if the accessor was applied, IlFalse otherwise.

Reimplemented from IlvAbstractView.

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
xMarginThe horizontal margin.
yMarginThe 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
keyThe property key.
Returns
The value associated with the property key. If there is no such property, it returns 0.
const char* IlvView::getTitle ( ) const

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
keyThe property key.
Returns
IlTrue if the property key exists for the view and IlFalse otherwise.
virtual void IlvView::hide ( )
virtual

Hides the view.

Removes the window from the visible windows on your screen.

Reimplemented from IlvAbstractView.

Reimplemented in IlvContainer.

void IlvView::iconBitmap ( IlvBitmap image,
IlvBitmap mask = 0 
)

Sets the icon aspect.

This function is meaningful only for top-window views.
It sets the new icon aspect when this window is to be iconified. The parameters image and mask are the same as for creating new cursors (see IlvCursor).

Parameters
imageThe image that must be used.
maskThe image mask that must be used.
void IlvView::iconify ( )

Requests this window to iconify itself.

This function is meaningful only for top-window views.

virtual IlBoolean IlvView::isIconified ( ) const
virtual

Retrieves the iconified state.

This function is meaningful only for top-window views.

Returns
An IlBoolean value indicating whether this top window is iconified or not.
IlBoolean IlvView::isModal ( ) const

Queries the modality of this view.

This function is meaningful only for top-window views.

Returns
IlTrue if the view is in modal use, and IlFalse if it is not.
IlBoolean IlvView::isVisible ( ) const

Retrieves the visibility.

Returns
A Boolean value indicating whether this view is visible or not. Note that the returned value may not be up to date if the event pool has not yet been emptied.
virtual void IlvView::move ( const IlvPoint position)
virtual

Moves the view.

Moves the upper left corner of the window to the indicated position in the parent window of this object, or the root window in the case of a top window.

Parameters
positionThe new position of the window.

Reimplemented from IlvAbstractView.

virtual void IlvView::moveResize ( const IlvRect newSize)

Parameters
newSizeThe new position and dimensions of the window.

Reimplemented from IlvAbstractView.

Reimplemented in IlvElasticView.

void IlvView::moveToMouse ( IlvDirection  justification = IlvCenter,
IlvPos  dx = 0,
IlvPos  dy = 0,
IlBoolean  ensureInScreen = IlTrue 
)

Moves the view relative to the location of the mouse.

This function is meaningful only for top-window views.
It moves this view so that the point indicated by justification is moved to the pointing device, with an offset of dx and dy.

Parameters
justificationSpecifies how the new location of this view is computed:
  • IlvCenter: the center of the view;

  • IlvBottomRight: the bottom right corner of the view;
dxThe horizontal offset of that is applied.
dyThe vertical offset of that is applied.
ensureInScreenIf this Boolean value is unspecified or set to IlTrue, the window is ensured to entirely remain in the screen, by calling ensureInScreen.
void IlvView::moveToScreen ( IlvDirection  justification = IlvCenter,
IlvPos  dx = 0,
IlvPos  dy = 0,
IlBoolean  ensureInScreen = IlTrue 
)

Moves the view relative to the root window.

Sets a callback for Destroy events.

This function is meaningful only for top-window views.
Specifies a callback function to be called when the windowing system requests the destruction of the window. This is usually performed using a Close button that the window manager of your system has added to the window frame.
When an event of this kind occurs, the IlvView object itself is not destroyed. You are expected to write the function in such a way that it takes into account the disappearance of the window if necessary.
You can set as many destroy callbacks as you need. The last callback set is the last to be called.

Parameters
destroyThe function that is called when the view receives a request for destruction.
userArgThe user parameter that is transmitted to delete when it is called.
virtual void IlvView::setExposeCallback ( IlvExposeCallback  expose,
IlAny  userArg = 0

virtual

Sets a callback for Expose events.

Specifies an IlvExposeCallback function to be called for each expose event that occurs in this view. These events occur when an invisible part of the view is shown to the user (repaint notifications). You can set as many expose callbacks as you need. The last callback you set is the last to be called.

Parameters
exposeThe function that is called when Expose events occur in this view.
userArgThe user parameter that is transmitted to expose when it is called.

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
resizeThe function that is called when Resize events occur in this view.
userArgThe user parameter that is transmitted to resize when it is called.
void IlvView::setShapeMask ( IlvBitmap mask,
IlBoolean  useTitle = IlFalse 
)

Sets a shape mask.

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
maskThe bitmap to use as a mask.
useTitleA 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.
Note that if the title string begins with the "<code>&</code>" character, then it is considered as a multilingual string and is translated depending on the current language.

Parameters
titleThe 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 = IlFalse,
IlvCursor cursor = 0 
)
virtual

Shows the window in a modal mode.

This function is meaningful only for top-window views.

Parameters
doesGrabMust 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.
cursorThe 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.
