Detailed Description

The base GUI widget class.

Grid Fitting

By default, you are under control of the location of your widgets, although their dimensions are specified by the class itself. Gridfitting is also provided that locates the controls based on their position in a table. You can turn on gridfitting using the grid method and control it with the sticky method. These methods will automatically gridfit the parent. Gridfitting can't modify any client-assigned parameters (assigning to left, top, width, height).

grid takes two or four arguments. col and colspan are the horizontal first cell and number of cells across for the control; row and rowspan are the same vertically. Gridfitting will find the minimum occupiable area for these cells and put the controls within them.

sticky controls the placement of the control within its grid area. For example, the following pseudoimage is built using this code:

with (a = new MyBox (this))
    grid (0, 0);

with (b = new MyBox (this))
    grid (1, 0);

with (c = new MyBox (this))
{
    grid (0, 1, 2, 1);
    sticky ("<");
}

This creates this image:

If you don't supply the stickiness for c, then it will be left-aligned as above. If you provide a stickiness of "|", meaning horizontal center, we get:

If you provide a stickiness of ">", meaning right-aligned, we get:

Finally, if we provide a stickiness of "<>", meaning to cover the full area, we get:

Vertical stickiness works the same, but using "^" for top-aligned, "v" for bottom-aligned, "-" for vertically centered, and "^v" to cover the full area vertically.

Working Arrow with an hourglass beside it or the hourglass cursor if unavailable.

Invalid A crossed-out circle or other insignia indicating invalidity.

Text The "I" beam text editing cursor.

Crosshair Vertical and horizontal crossed lines, or the normal arrow cursor if unavailable.

Wait An hourglass.

SizeNWSE A double-pointed arrow pointing north-west and south-east.

SizeEW A double-pointed arrow pointing west and east.

Member Function Documentation

Dispatcher* Control.bind ( charcode [] )

Bind a keypress to a dispatcher for this control.
code describes the keypress and ends with a key name (such as "Return") and starts with a combination of shift, control, and ctrl, in any case with any separator. For example, "Shift-X", "Shift CONTROL y", and "CtrlZ". Another modifier is "Focus", which prevents the binding from being called if the control isn't the keyboard focus. See Event for the key names.
The dispatcher pointer returned is valid until the next bind method call only. Unless if frames have their own binding for the key, they will pass it to the first sub-control which has a binding, so you don't need to bind to the frame.

Control Control.child ( uint index )

Return a child indexed in the control.
Out-of-range values are bounds checked. The order of children is from back-to-front.

void Control.cursor ( Cursor value )

Set a standard cursor to use when the mouse is over this control.
By default it uses the arrow cursor.

void Control.grid ( int col,

int row,

int colspan,

int rowspan

)

Set grid parameters.
col and row are the horizontal and vertical location of the control in the table; colspan and rowspan are the number of cells each covers.

void Control.grid ( int col,

int row

)

Set grid parameters.
colspan and rowspan are set to 1.

char [] Control.messageBoxEx ( chartitle [],

charmessage [],

MB flags

) [static]

Spawn a message box with a set of flags.
Returns the name of the button that the user pressed.

void Control.sticky ( charvalue [] )

Set the control's stickiness.
This determines where it is places in its region during gridfitting, and is a combination of:
"<" - Stick to left, default, and used if none is given.
">" - Stick to right.
"|" - Center horizontally.
"<" and ">" - Resize width to cover the full region.

"^" - Stick to top, default, and used if none is given.
"v" - Stick to bottom.
"-" - Center vertically.
"^" and "v" - Resize height to cover the full region.
So "<>^v" means to cover the entire region provided.
