Creating Rogue Wave Views Objects at Run Time

Foundation > Rogue Wave Script Programming > Creating Rogue Wave Views Objects at Run Time

In Rogue Wave Script for Rogue Wave® Views, you can use the new operator to create Rogue Wave Views objects at run time just as you would create other Rogue Wave Script native objects, such as strings, numbers, and so on.

You can create the following types of objects at run time:

IlvPoint

IlvRect

IlvGadgetContainer

To create a gadget, such as an IlvButton, we recommend that you use Rogue Wave Views Studio.

IlvPoint and IlvRect

Certain Rogue Wave Views object methods take an IlvPoint or an IlvRect as their arguments. These can be created at run time as shown below:

var myPoint = new IlvPoint(20, 20);

myPanel.move(myPoint);

IlvGadgetContainer

You can create new panels at run time. Here is an example:

var size = new IlvRect(20, 20, 400, 300);

var myNewPanel = new IlvGadgetContainer("Panel", "My panel", size);

myNewPanel.readFile("panel.ilv");

myNewPanel.readDraw();

Application.addPanel(myNewPanel);

We recommend that you add the new panel to Application after it has been created.

For more information, see “Accessors for class IlvGadgetContainer” in the Gadgets Accessor Reference Manual.
