Constructs this control. An unique ID for this control is generated for this control using CHuiStatic::GenerateId(); Id()TodoThis constructor is public, explain rationale.

Destructs this control. Cancels all scheduled commands for this control. Removes the host and any other connections (if any) and destroys the visuals owned by this control.

Determines whether the control accepts input events.

Acquires focus for this control.

New virtual method. Establishes a connection between this control and another control. Instead of supporting a treelike parent-child control hierarchy, Hitchcock allows defining a set of links between any controls. These links are called connections. Connections can be used to construct a parent-child based hierarchy of controls, if that is considered necessary from the point of view of input event handling or some other data passing scenario. They can be utilized for observation purposes or keeping track of associated controls.

HUITK Programmer's Guide for examples of how to connect controls.

From MHuiVisualOwner. Appends a visual to the control. The control also receives ownership of the visual. This method is specifically intended to be used when adding previously created visuals to the control.

Appends a new visual to the list of visuals owned by the control. This method is specifically intended to be used during construction of visual trees.

Creates a new layout using the visual factory and appends it.

Creates a new visual using the visual factory and appends it.

Virtual second phase constructor. Must be base called in deriving class.

Binds the control to a display. Called automatically by CHuiControl::ShowL().

Calculates the region of the screen where the control's visuals are.

Cancel all scheduled commands related to this control and the control's visuals.

Clears the change flags of the control.

Returns a client control.

New virtual method. Called when a client control is added to the control.

AddConnectionL()

Returns a client control.

Returns the number of clients.

Ordinal is the effective index. Role overrides index. AddConnectionL()

New virtual method. Called when a client control is removed from the control.

RemoveConnection()

Returns the role of a client control.

Roles are defined by the application developer - a user interface framework built on top of Hitchcock can define a suitable set of roles for the controls implemented in the framework.

AddConnectionL()

Returns a container layout for the specified child control. A container layout contains all the visuals of a child control.

From MHuiVisualOwner. Returns the control group of the visual's owner control.

Returns the display this control is bound to, or NULL.

Determines the display area.

Determines the coordinates of the center of the display.

Coordinate conversion.

From MHuiVisualOwner. Returns the environment of the visual.

From MHuiVisualOwner. Returns a pointer to the event handler responsible for handling events related this control's visuals (i.e. the handler is this control).

Find a client's index number.

Finds the visual that matches a tag. Only the visuals owned by this control are searched.

Determines whether the control has input focus.

New virtual method. Called when the control's focus state changes.

Hides those visuals that are displayed on the specified display. Other visuals are not affected.

Tests whether a point is inside the control.

Returns the visual host control.

New virtual method. The host control is about to be changed. The control needs to add its visuals to the container layout provided by the new host.

SetHost()

Returns the automatic visual host identification.

Coordinate conversion.

Returns the id of this control. Zero (0) id the control has no id.

New virtual method. Determines whether the control wants to receive focus.

New virtual method. Notifies the control that its visible has been changed on a display. This is the earliest time when the control knows the dimensions of the display it is being shown on.

From MHuiEventHandler. Called when an input event is being offered to the control.

From MHuiVisualOwner. Removes a visual from the control. The caller also receives ownership of the visual.

Removes a client.

Remove this control's visuals from the specified container layout.

Returns the control's role.

AddConnectionL()

! Gets the session id for object.

Sets the group that owns the control. Called by the control group when the control is added to the group.

Changes the control's focus state.

Sets the flag that tells whether the control wants to receive focus.

Sets the automatic visual host identification (non zero). Needs to be unique in the CHuiEnv. If using this automatic mechanism, do not use the AddConnectionL() function - it will be automatically called when this control is shown.

Set an id value for this control.

Sets the control's role.

AddConnectionL()

! Sets the session id for object.

Shows all the unshown visuals of the control on the specified display. Visuals that are currently shown on another display are not affected.

CHuiControl::BindDisplay()

Returns the texture manager of the environment of the visual.

! Gets the object type.

Returns one of the visuals owned by the control.

New virtual method. Called when a visual has been added to the control.

Determines the number of visuals owned by the control.

Note that in visual hierarchies, child visuals are not owned by their parent visuals, but a control. This means that a control that owns a tree of visuals will return the total number of visuals in the tree, and not just the number of root visuals.

From MHuiVisualOwner. Called when a visual owned by the control is being destroyed. Visual is removed from the control.

From MHuiVisualOwner. Notifies the control that one of the visuals it ows has been laid out. Called automatically from CHuiVisual::UpdateChildrenLayout(). For example, occurs when a parent layout is resized.

From MHuiVisualOwner. Called when there was an error (a leave happened) while preparing one of the controls visual for drawing. Typically the resource alloc errors such as out of memory is escalated through this callback.

By default this callback causes a panic with the error code, so you should override this if you want different behavior.

New virtual method. Called when a visual has been removed from the control.

The display this control is currently bound to.

Connected controls and their roles.

The environment where this visual belong to.

ETrue, if the control wants to receive input focus.

Control has input focus.

Host control. The host provides a container visual for this control's visuals.

Identifier of the host control.

Identifier of the control.

The group into which this control belongs to.

Control's role.

Session id

Visuals owned by the control.
