virtual void IlvDesktopManager::frameSelectionChanged	(	IlvViewFrame *	newFrame,
		IlvViewFrame *	oldFrame
	)

virtual

Is called when the current frame changes.

The default implementation does nothing.

Parameters

newFrame	The new current frame.
oldFrame	The old current frame.

IlBoolean IlvDesktopManager::isMaximizing ( ) const

Indicates whether the desktop is maximized.

When the desktop manager is maximized, the title bar of the active frame is no longer visible because the client area of the active frame fits the desktop view. However, it is possible to tell the desktop manager to display some of the title bar components at a specific position. For details, see the method IlvDesktopManager::makeMaximizedStateButtons(IlvToolBar*).

Returns: IlTrue if the desktop is maximized, that is, if only one frame is visible and it occupies the whole desktop view.
