Detailed Description

Description class.

Library: ivstudio

A buffer is a document that is edited in Rogue Wave Views Studio. It uses an IlvManager to display, edit, save and read its contents. If you need to subclass the manager to save more information concerning your objects, for example, you have to subclass a corresponding buffer. The IlvStBuffer class is defined to encapsulate the IlvManager.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IlvStContainerInfo::IlvStContainerInfo ( const char *  name )

protected

Initializes an instance of IlvStContainerInfo.

Parameters

name	The C++ class name of the container.

Member Function Documentation

virtual IlvContainer* IlvStContainerInfo::createContainer ( IlvAbstractView *  parent, const IlvRect &  bbox, IlBoolean  useacc, IlBoolean  visible  )

pure virtual

Creates a container that is a child.

Must be defined by the subclasses to create a container that is a child of the specified parent.

Parameters

parent	The parent of the container.
bbox	The bounding box of the container.
useacc	This optional Boolean parameter must be set to IlFalse if you do not want the default accelerators to be installed at creation time.
visible	Specifies whether the view is to be initially visible IlTrue or invisible IlFalse.

Returns

The created container.

virtual IlvContainer* IlvStContainerInfo::createContainer ( IlvDisplay *  display, const char *  name, const char *  title, const IlvRect &  bbox, IlUInt  properties, IlBoolean  useacc, IlBoolean  visible, IlvSystemView  transientFor  )

pure virtual

Creates a container that is a top window.

This method must be defined by the subclasses to create a container that is a top window.

Parameters

display	The display instance.
name	The name of the view.
title	The title of this top window.
bbox	The initial location and size of the view, relative to the root window of display.
properties	The properties of the view.
useacc	This optional Boolean parameter must be set to IlFalse if you do not want the default accelerators to be installed at creation time.
visible	A Boolean value specifying whether the view is to be initially visible IlTrue or invisible IlFalse.
transientFor	The possible system view for which this view is transient. If unspecified or set to 0, this view will not be transient for any view.

Returns

The created container.

virtual const char* IlvStContainerInfo::getFileCreatorClass ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the class name of the container.

Must be defined by the subclasses to return the class name of the IlvOutputFile that is expected by the container created by the IlvStContainerInfo. For example, an IlvGadgetContainer expects to read the data files generated by an IlvGadgetManager. An IlvGadgetManager uses an IlvGadgetManagerOutputFile to generate its data files. Therefore the method getFileCreatorClass() of the container information class that creates instances of IlvGadgetContainer must return "IlvGadgetManagerOutputFile".

Returns

The class name.
