Detailed Description

View class.

Library: xviews or winviews or mviews (mutually exclusive)
The IlvView class is provided basically for drawing on the screen. It is designed to be used as the child of a previously created IlvAbstractView class, or as a new top-level window.

See also
IlvCursor, IlvDisplay, IlvDrawingView, IlvElasticView, IlvScrollView.

Accessors

Accessors provide a scriptable and uniform way to inspect and modify an object by using its base class methods IlvValueInterface::queryValue(), IlvValueInterface::queryValues(), IlvValueInterface::changeValue(), IlvValueInterface::changeValues(). This class inherits the accessors of its superclass IlvAbstractView and adds the following ones:

Data accessors

Name Type Equivalent methods
visible Boolean isVisible(), show(), hide()
title String getTitle(), setTitle()
iconified Boolean isIconified(), iconify(), show()
isModal Boolean isModal()

Method accessors

Name Return type Equivalent methods
showModal(Boolean systemModal) Boolean showModal(IlBoolean systemModal, IlvCursor*)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

§ IlvView() [1/5]

IlvView::IlvView ( IlvAbstractView parent,
const IlvRect size,
IlBoolean  visible = IlTrue 
)

Initializes a new view object that is a child of another view.

Parameters
parentThe parent view.
sizeThe initial location and size of the view, in the coordinate system of parent.
visibleCan be set to IlFalse to initially hide the window.

§ IlvView() [2/5]

IlvView::IlvView ( IlvDisplay display,
IlvSystemView  available 
)

Initializes a new view object by actually using an existing system view.

Parameters
displayThe display instance.
availableThe system view on which this IlvView is based.

§ IlvView() [3/5]

IlvView::IlvView ( IlvDisplay display,
IlvSystemView  parent,
const IlvRect size,
IlBoolean  visible = IlTrue 
)

Initializes a new view that is a child of an existing system view.

Parameters
displayThe display instance.
parentThe parent system view.
sizeThe initial location and size of the view, in the coordinate system of the existing system view.
visibleCan be set to IlFalse to initially hide the window.

§ IlvView() [4/5]

IlvView::IlvView ( IlvDisplay display,
const char *  name,
const char *  title,
const IlvRect size,
IlBoolean  visible = IlTrue 
)

Initializes a new view object that is a new top window.

Parameters
displayThe display instance.
nameThe name of this view (used by the resource association mechanism).
titleThe title of this top window.
sizeThe initial location and size of the view, relative to the root window of display.
visibleCan be set to IlFalse to initially hide the window.

§ IlvView() [5/5]

IlvView::IlvView ( IlvDisplay display,
const char *  name,
const char *  title,
const IlvRect size,
IlUInt  properties,
IlBoolean  visible = IlTrue,
IlvSystemView  transientFor = 0 
)

Initializes a new view object that is a new top window with specific top-window properties.

The parameter transientFor specifies the system view for which the IlvView is transient. It may be any top-level system view and not necessarily encapsulated by a IlvView. Saying that a view v1 is transient for view v2 means that:

  • _v1_ cannot be iconified.
  • _v1_ is automatically unmapped when v2 is iconified.
  • _v1_ is always on top of v2 (in the windows stacking order).

This notion is applicable to views built as top-level windows ("shells" in Motif). Note that on Windows platforms, if v1 is transient for v2, then the destruction of v2 will automatically destroy v1 as well. You may have to protect your application against this by setting a delete callback on v1 (see setDeleteCallback()).

Parameters
displayThe display instance.
nameThe name of this view (used by the resource association mechanism).
titleThe title of this top window.
sizeThe initial location and size of the view, relative to the root window of display.
propertiesThe properties of that view. This parameter is an OR combination of these flags:
  • IlvStandardBorder: the new top window has regular window borders, banner and resize handles.
  • IlvNoBorder: the new top window has no border. Note that on X Window, setting the property IlvNoBorder is more than a decoration issue. The view creates an override-redirect window; thus, the window manager will ignore it. The application then acts as temporary window manager, which very few applications are prepared to do. The main purpose of IlvNoBorder is to create pop-up windows, like menus.
  • IlvNoResizeBorder: the new top window has no resize handle; thus, the user cannot resize this window.
visibleCan be set to IlFalse to initially hide the window.
transientForThe possible system view for which this view is transient. If unspecified or set to 0, this view will not be transient for any view.

Member Function Documentation

§ addProperty()

void IlvView::addProperty ( const IlSymbol key,
IlAny  value 
)

Adds a property to the view.

Adds the property key to the view, associated with the value value.

Parameters
keyThe property key.
valueThe associated value.

§ ensureInScreen()

void IlvView::ensureInScreen ( IlvPos  xMargin = 0,
IlvPos  yMargin = 0 
)

Ensures that the view remains visible.

This function is meaningful only for top-window views.

It moves this view so that it remains visible on the screen. If the view is higher than the screen, it will not move in the y direction. If the view is wider than the screen, it will not move in the x direction. xMargin and yMargin define margin distances that the view location must respect, as if the screen were 2*xMargin pixels less wide, and 2*yMargin pixels less high.

If the view is already entirely visible on the screen with the margins respected, this function does nothing.

Parameters
xMarginThe horizontal margin.
yMarginThe vertical margin.

§ getName()

const char* IlvView::getName ( ) const
virtual

Retrieves the name.

Each view is provided a name at its creation.

Returns
The name of this view. The returned string must not be modified or deleted.

Reimplemented from IlvValueInterface.

§ getProperty()

IlAny IlvView::getProperty ( const IlSymbol key) const

Retrieves a property.

Parameters
keyThe property key.
Returns
The value associated with the property key. If there is no such property, it returns 0.

§ getShape()

Shape* IlvView::getShape ( ) const

Returns the view shape.

Returns
The shape set on the view, or 0 if there is none.

§ getStylableName()

virtual const char* IlvView::getStylableName ( ) const
virtual

Returns the name of this object.

Returns
The name of this object or 0 if it has none. This name may be used as the identifier discriminant in style sheets.

Reimplemented from IlvStylable.

§ getTitle()

const char* IlvView::getTitle ( ) const

Retrieves the title of this view.

This function is meaningful only for top-window views.

Returns
The window title. You must not modify or delete the returned string.

§ hasProperty()

IlBoolean IlvView::hasProperty ( const IlSymbol key) const

Checks the existence of a property.

Parameters
keyThe property key.
Returns
IlTrue if the property key exists for the view and IlFalse otherwise.

§ hide()

virtual void IlvView::hide ( )
virtual

Hides the view.

Removes the window from the visible windows on your screen.

Reimplemented from IlvAbstractView.

Reimplemented in IlvContainer.

§ iconBitmap()

void IlvView::iconBitmap ( IlvBitmap image,
IlvBitmap mask = 0 
)

This function is meaningful only for top-window views.

Parameters
doesGrabMust be set to IlTrue to get system modal behavior. If this parameter is set to IlFalse, the view uses the application modal behavior. Under Windows, system modality is in contradiction with the concept of multi-tasking. As a consequence, this parameter must not be set to IlTrue under Windows, this usage is not supported.
cursorThe cursor that must be set on this view when it is shown (only applicable with systemModal set to IlTrue).
Returns
IlTrue on success. It returns IlFalse if an error occurred, that is, one of the following conditions is satisfied:
  • The view is not a top level view but a child view.
  • The view has no system view.
  • The view is already in modal use.
  • The grab failed (only applicable in system modal behavior).
  • The view has been deleted (not recommended practice!).
  • The view has been hidden.
