Detailed Description

The SoWinComponent class is the base class for all GUI components.

Components in the SoWin component library all inherit this abstract base class. It provides basic methods for setting and querying about the relationship between the component object and its underlying Win object(s).

Application programmers should not need to interface any code against this class, unless they want to extend the SoWin library in entirely new directions. For making new viewer components, for instance, other classes further down the inheritance hierarchy would be better suited for subclassing.

Note that the relationship between all SoWinComponent derived classes and Win widgets is one of "has-A", not "is-A" – i.e. SoWinComponent contains a HWND, it doesn't derive from or subclass it.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~SoWinComponent()

SoWinComponent::~SoWinComponent ( )

virtual

Destructor.

SoWinComponent()

SoWinComponent::SoWinComponent ( HWND const parent = NULL, const char *const name = NULL, const SbBool embed = TRUE )

protected

This is a protected constructor, used only by derived classes.

The parent argument is the parent widget of the component. If you don't supply a parent, the main window (the one given to or returned from SoWin::init()) is used (and the embed argument is considered to be FALSE).

The name argument is the name of the component. If you don't supply one, the name will default to something, depending on the inheritance hierarchy.

The embed argument tells whether the component should be embedded in the parent widget or should create its own shell. This flag is only checked if the parent widget argument is specified (not NULL).

If you create a non-embedded component, the component will create its own shell, which will be a top level shell type. If you embed the component, the component will create a form widget type widget inside the parent widget, which you can get the handle of by calling SoWinComponent::getBaseWidget().

Member Function Documentation

addVisibilityChangeCallback()

void SoWinComponent::addVisibilityChangeCallback ( SoWinComponentVisibilityCB *const func, void *const user = NULL )

protected

Add a callback which will be called whenever the widget component changes visibility status (because of iconification or deiconification, for instance).

See also

removeVisibilityChangeCallback(), isVisible()

afterRealizeHook()

void SoWinComponent::afterRealizeHook ( void )

protectedvirtual

A function "hook" / callback invoked just after the window for the component has been realized.

Override this if you need specific initialization for your own component or viewer class to happen right after it has been made visible, but remember to call upwards in the inheritance hierarchy:

void
MyLittleViewer::afterRealizeHook(void)
{
  <superclass>::afterRealizeHook();
  // [own initialization here]
}

Reimplemented in SoWinRenderArea, SoWinExaminerViewer, SoWinFlyViewer, and SoWinPlaneViewer.

getBaseWidget()

HWND SoWinComponent::getBaseWidget

(

void

)

const

An SoWinComponent may be composed of any number of widgets in parent-children relationships in a tree structure with any depth. This method will return the root widget in that tree.

See also

setBaseWidget()

getClassName()

const char * SoWinComponent::getClassName

(

void

)

const

Returns class name of widget.

getComponent()

SoWinComponent * SoWinComponent::getComponent ( HWND widget )

static

Finds and returns the SoWinComponent corresponding to the given HWND, if any. If the widget does not seem to belong to any SoWinComponent, NULL will be returned.

getDefaultIconTitle()

const char * SoWinComponent::getDefaultIconTitle ( void ) const

protectedvirtual

This method returns the default icon title of the component.

It should be overridden by derived non-abstract classes so icons will get proper titles.

Reimplemented in SoWinRenderArea, SoWinExaminerViewer, SoWinFlyViewer, and SoWinPlaneViewer.

getDefaultTitle()

const char * SoWinComponent::getDefaultTitle ( void ) const

protectedvirtual

This method returns the default window caption string of the component.

It should be overridden by derived non-abstract classes so the window and pop-up menu will get a proper title.

Reimplemented in SoWinRenderArea, SoWinExaminerViewer, SoWinFlyViewer, and SoWinPlaneViewer.

getDefaultWidgetName()

const char * SoWinComponent::getDefaultWidgetName ( void ) const

protectedvirtual

This method returns the default name of a component widget class.

It should be overridden by derived non-abstract classes for the topmost widget in the component to have a proper name.

Reimplemented in SoWinRenderArea, SoWinExaminerViewer, SoWinFlyViewer, and SoWinPlaneViewer.

getIconTitle()

const char * SoWinComponent::getIconTitle

(

void

)

const

Returns the title the window has when iconified.

If an icon title has been set, that icon title is returned. If no icon title has been set, the default icon title is returned.

See also

setIconTitle(), isTopLevelShell()

getParentWidget()

HWND SoWinComponent::getParentWidget

(

void

)

const

Returns the widget which is the parent of (i.e. contains) this component's base widget.

See also

getWidget(), baseWidget(), isTopLevelShell()

getShellWidget()

HWND SoWinComponent::getShellWidget

(

void

)

const

This method returns the shell widget of the component, but only if it was created as a top level shell. NULL will be returned for embedded components.

(The top level shell is the desktop window which contains the component.)

To get the top level shell of embedded components, you can use the SoWin::getShellWidget() method.

See also

isTopLevelShell(), getWidget()

getSize()

SbVec2s SoWinComponent::getSize

(

void

)

const

Returns the component widget size.

The size that is returned is a cached size value, not a value fetched from the GUI system.

See also

setSize()

getTitle()

const char * SoWinComponent::getTitle

(

void

)

const

Returns the window title.

If a title has been set, that title will be returned. If no title has been set, the default title is returned.

See also

setTitle(), isTopLevelShell()

getWidget()

HWND SoWinComponent::getWidget

(

void

)

const

Returns a pointer to the component's window system widget.

See also

getShellWidget(), getParentWidget()

getWidgetName()

const char * SoWinComponent::getWidgetName

(

void

)

const

Returns name of the widget.

hide()

void SoWinComponent::hide ( void )

virtual

This will hide the widget.

See also

show(), isVisible()

initClasses()

void SoWinComponent::initClasses ( void )

static

This function initializes the type system for all the component classes. It is called indirectly for you when you call SoWin::init().

See also

SoWin::init(), SoWinDevice::initClasses()

isFullScreen()

SbBool SoWinComponent::isFullScreen

(

void

)

const

Returns whether this widget/component is in full screen mode or not.

isTopLevelShell()

SbBool SoWinComponent::isTopLevelShell

(

void

)

const

Returns TRUE if this component is a top level shell, i.e. it has a window representation on the desktop.

See also

getShellWidget()

isVisible()

SbBool SoWinComponent::isVisible

(

void

)

Returns visibility status on the widget. If any parents of this widget or this widget itself is hidden, returns FALSE.

Note that a widget which is just obscured by other windows on the desktop is not hidden in this sense, and TRUE will be returned.

See also

show(), hide()

registerWidget()

void SoWinComponent::registerWidget ( HWND widget )

protected

This method should be used by subclasses to register the widgets they set up from the underlying native toolkit, so they can be "reverse" mapped to the owner component.

Subclasses failing to register the widgets they use will cause the SoWinComponent::getComponent() method to fail with those widgets.

See also

unregisterWidget(), getComponent()

removeVisibilityChangeCallback()

void SoWinComponent::removeVisibilityChangeCallback ( SoWinComponentVisibilityCB *const func, void *const data = NULL )

protected

Remove one of the callbacks from the list of visibility notification callbacks.

See also

addVisibilityChangeCallback(), isVisible()

setBaseWidget()

void SoWinComponent::setBaseWidget ( HWND widget )

protected

Set the core widget for this SoWin component. It is important that subclasses get this correct, as the widget set here will be the widget returned from query methods.

See also

baseWidget()

setClassName()

void SoWinComponent::setClassName ( const char *const name )

protected

Set class name of component.

See also

getClassName(), componentClassName()

setComponentCursor()

void SoWinComponent::setComponentCursor ( const SoWinCursor & cursor )

virtual

Sets the cursor for this component.

Note: not part of the original SGI InventorXt API.

Reimplemented in SoWinFullViewer.

setFullScreen()

SbBool SoWinComponent::setFullScreen

(

const SbBool

onoff

)

Toggle full screen mode for this component, if possible.

Returns FALSE if operation failed. This might happen if the toolkit doesn't support attempts at making the component cover the complete screen or if the component is not a top level window.

setIconTitle()

void SoWinComponent::setIconTitle

(

const char *const

title

)

This method sets the title of the icon representation of the window.

The title will appear on the window icon, if the component manages its own window.

See also

getIconTitle(), setTitle(), isTopLevelShell()

setSize()

void SoWinComponent::setSize

(

const SbVec2s

size

)

Resize the component widget.

The method assumes the caller knows what he is doing.

See also

getSize()

setTitle()

void SoWinComponent::setTitle

(

const char *const

title

)

Set the window title of this component. The title will appear on the window title bar, if the component manages its own window.

See also

getTitle(), setIconTitle(), isTopLevelShell()

setWidgetCursor()

void SoWinComponent::setWidgetCursor ( HWND w, const SoWinCursor & cursor )

static

Set cursor for a native widget in the underlying toolkit.

Note: not part of the original SGI InventorXt API.

setWindowCloseCallback()

void SoWinComponent::setWindowCloseCallback	(	SoWinComponentCB *const	func,
		void *const	data = NULL )

Set up a callback function to use when the component gets closed. A component must be a top level shell for this to have any effect.

For top level shells with no close callback set, the window will simply be hidden. The typical action to take in the callback would be to delete the component.

See also

isTopLevelShell()

show()

void SoWinComponent::show ( void )

virtual

This will show the widget, de-iconifying and raising it if necessary.

See also

hide(), isVisible()

sizeChanged()

void SoWinComponent::sizeChanged ( const SbVec2s & size )

protectedvirtual

Called internally from within the SoWin library when the widget embedded in a component changes its size, which is usually triggered by end-user interaction.

This method is then invoked to notify the component that the size has changed. It is called from the top and all the way down to the bottom, the size being adjusted to take into account extra decorations having been added at each level in the component class hierarchy.

Reimplemented in SoWinGLWidget, SoWinRenderArea, SoWinFullViewer, and SoWinViewer.

unregisterWidget()

void SoWinComponent::unregisterWidget ( HWND widget )

protected

Remove a previously registered native toolkit widget from the widget-to-component mappings used by SoWinComponent::getComponent().

See also

registerWidget()
