Detailed Description

Button interactor class.

Library: views

Use the IlvButtonInteractor class to make an object act like a standard interface button. The member function handleEvent() is designed to call the member function IlvGraphic::invert() of the object. This gives the object the appearance that is is pressed or activated when you click on it.

The registered name of this interactor is "Button".

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IlvButtonInteractor::IlvButtonInteractor ( IlUShort  button = IlvLeftButton,
IlvApplyObject  action = 0,
IlAny  arg = 0 
)

Constructor.

Initializes a new instance of the IlvButtonInteractor class. The action function will be called when the user clicks on the object. If action is not specified, the object's callback is called.

Parameters
buttonThe mouse button that is used for the interaction.
actionThe user function called on a click.
argThe user argument.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void IlvButtonInteractor::doIt ( IlvGraphic obj)
virtual

Calls the user function.

Called when the user presses and releases the mouse button over the object obj. The default implementation calls the associated action, if one exists. If there is no associated action, then the object's callback is called. Then the object's callback corresponding to the Button symbol is called. You can overload this method to implement a different button-like behavior.

Parameters
objThe graphic object.
See also
setAction(), IlvGraphic::setCallback()
IlvApplyObject IlvButtonInteractor::getAction ( ) const

Returns the user function.

Returns
The action associated with the interactor.
virtual IlBoolean IlvButtonInteractor::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
gThe graphic object that receives the event.
eventThe received event.
tThe transformer applied to the view in which the event occurred.
Returns
IlTrue if the event was successfully handled and IlFalse otherwise.

Implements IlvInteractor.

Reimplemented in IlvToggleInteractor.

void IlvButtonInteractor::setAction ( IlvApplyObject  action,
IlAny  arg = 0 
)

Sets the user function and the user argument.

Sets the action to action and its argument to userArg.

Parameters
actionThe user function.
argThe user argument.
