Subclassing the Object Look-and-Feel Handler

Gadgets > Rogue Wave Views Gadgets > Customizing the Look and Feel > Making a User-Defined Component Look-and-Feel Dependant > Subclassing the Object Look-and-Feel Handler

Once the API of the object look-and-feel handler has been defined, you can implement various subclasses corresponding to different look-and-feel styles. For example, here we create the subclass of MyComponentLFHandler dedicated to the Motif look, the MyComponentMLFHandler class:

class MyComponentMLFHandler : public MyComponentLFHandler

{

MyComponentMLFHandler(IlvLookFeelHandler* lfh) :

MyComponentLFHandler(lfh) {}

...

virtual void draw(const MyComponent* object,

IlvPort* dst,

const IlvTransformer* t,

const IlvRegion* clip) const;

virtual IlBoolean handleEvent(MyComponent* object,

IlvEvent& event) const;

...

};

You need now to install your object look-and-feel handlers so that they will be used when the corresponding look and feel is set.
