Detailed Description

User Interface class.

Library: dbgadget

When a gadget (or a graphic) needs to trigger a named callback, it uses the callback manager. The callback manager is responsible for binding the callback name to an actual function. If the callback name designates a global callback (for example, @Quit), the function implementing the global callback will be called. Otherwise, if a callback function with this name has been registered in the container holding the graphic object, this function will be called (see the IlvContainer::registerCallback member function). The callback manager is the unique instance of the IliCallbackManager class and can be retrieved by calling the function IliGetCallbackManager. For the callback manager to be active, the include file dataccess/gcallbak.h has to be included in at least one of the modules of the application. If this is not the case, the global callbacks will not be available.

getCallback()

IliGlobalGraphicCallback IliCallbackManager::getCallback

(

const IlvSymbol *

callbackName

)

const

Returns the function implementing the callback.

Parameters

callbackName

The callback name.

Returns

The callback or NULL if no such global callback exists.

Predefined Global Callbacks

• @Quit()
• @ShowPanel(panelName)
• @HidePanel(panelName)
• @Validate(dataSourceName)
• @Cancel(dataSourceName)
• @Clear(dataSourceName)
• @Select(dataSourceName)
• @StartInsert(dataSourceName)
• @Commit(sessionName)
• @Rollback(sessionName)
• @Connect(sessionName)
• @QueryConnect(sessionName)
• @Disconnect(sessionName)

The following example shows how to define a new global callback:

#include <ilviews/dataccess/gcallbak.h>
void MessageBoxCallback(IlvGraphic* g,
                        IlAny arg,
                        IlInt paramsCount,
                        const char* const* params) {
  IlvContainer* view = IlvContainer::getContainer(g);
  if (paramsCount == 1 && view != NULL) {
    IlvIMessageDialog msgBox(view->getDisplay(),
                             params[0],
                             NULL,
                             IlvDialogOk,
                             view->getSystemView());
    msgBox.show();
  }
}
int main() {
  ...
  IlvSymbol* callbackName = IlvGetSymbol("MsgBox");
  IliGetCallbackManager().registerCallback(callbackName,
                                           MessageBoxCallback);
  ...
}

The list of callback names.

callbackName

)
