class Alf::IMulWidget : public Alf::IAlfWidget

An interface for all Multimedia widgets. Widgets consist of control and visualization elements. Model owned by the application.

Interface paradigm would be used in a restrictive way. Controls are owned by Alfred environment. Widgets can be constructed using the widget factory. Widgets are owned and accessed using the Alfred environment.

[inline, virtual]

Virtual destructor.

Member Functions Documentation

AddEventHandler(IAlfWidgetEventHandler &)

void

AddEventHandler

(

IAlfWidgetEventHandler &

aObserver

)

[pure virtual]

Add an observer to widget inorder to get event notifications from the widget. Widget can have multiple observersers.

Parameters

IAlfWidgetEventHandler & aObserver

Observer of widget.

ContainerLayout()

const CAlfLayout &

ContainerLayout

(

)

[pure virtual]

Get the Container Layout for widget.

GetIconSize(mulwidget::TLogicalTemplate, mulvisualitem::TVisualAttribute, int &, int &)

void	GetIconSize	(	mulwidget::TLogicalTemplate	aTemplateId,
			mulvisualitem::TVisualAttribute	aAttribute,
			int &	aHeight,
			int &	aWidth
		)	[pure virtual]

Get the icon size from the template

Parameters

mulwidget::TLogicalTemplate aTemplateId
mulvisualitem::TVisualAttribute aAttribute	Attribute name of the Icon
int & aHeight	Height of the Icon
int & aWidth	Width of the Icon

GetIconSize(mulvisualitem::TVisualAttribute, int &, int &)

void	GetIconSize	(	mulvisualitem::TVisualAttribute	aAttribute,
			int &	aHeight,
			int &	aWidth
		)	[pure virtual]

Get the icon size from the template

Parameters

mulvisualitem::TVisualAttribute aAttribute	Attribute name of the Icon
int & aHeight	Height of the Icon
int & aWidth	Width of the Icon

RemoveEventHandler(IAlfWidgetEventHandler &)

void

RemoveEventHandler

(

IAlfWidgetEventHandler &

aObserver

)

[pure virtual]

Remove an observer to widget

Parameters

IAlfWidgetEventHandler & aObserver

Observer of widget.

SetAnimationTime(TMulVisualEffect, int)

void	SetAnimationTime	(	TMulVisualEffect	aVisualEffect,
			int	aTransitionTime = 0
		)	[pure virtual]

Set Transaction/Animation time for variaous visual effect.

Examples:

         Set the animation time.

      mListWidget->SetAnimationTime( TMulVisualEffect::EHighlightTransition, 1000 );

Parameters

TMulVisualEffect aVisualEffect	Visual effect to which animation time/transation time to set
int aTransitionTime = 0	Transition Time in MilliSeconds

SetModel(IMulModelAccessor *, bool)

void	SetModel	(	IMulModelAccessor *	aAccessor,
			bool	aFlag = true
		)	[pure virtual]

Set the data model for this widget. Widget uses the data model via IMulModelAccessor interface. Does not take ownership of the accessor and there can be only one accessor to the widget at any point. This will remove the binding to previous accessor, if any. Before deleting the accessor application should remove the binding to widget by calling the api by passing NULL.

Parameters

IMulModelAccessor * aAccessor	model to be set for widget
bool aFlag = true

SetRect(int, int, int, int, int)

void	SetRect	(	int	aLeftMargin,
			int	aTopmargin,
			int	aHeight,
			int	aWidth,
			int	aTransitionTime = 0
		)	[pure virtual]

Set the size and position of the widget.All parameter values are in pixels and are relevant to the parent of the widget.

Parameters

int aLeftMargin	margin for the left border (top left x co-ordinate value)
int aTopmargin	margin for the top border (top left y co-ordinate value)
int aHeight	height of widget
int aWidth	width of widget
int aTransitionTime = 0	Transition Time in MilliSeconds

SetVisualColor(TMulVisualType, const TRgb &)

void	SetVisualColor	(	TMulVisualType	aVisualType,
			const TRgb &	aColor
		)	[pure virtual]

Set the color and opacity of the visual for various visuals as per the widget. Also used to set the background transparent.

NOTE: TRgb with the alpha is mandatory .,if application doesnt sets the alpha results in the 0-opacity-Transparent. so applications always should use TRgb with alpha constructor: like- TRgb(TUint32 color,TInt alpha);

Examples: To Set the color and opacity of the thumbnail background

         Set the color and alpha of the visual.0x008090 and 0 respectively.

 iMyWidget->SetVisualColor( TMulVisualColor::EThumbnailBackgroundColor, TRgb(0x008090,0) );
 Here 0(zero) implies opacity - 1.

Examples: To make the background Transparent

         Set the color and alpha of the visual.0x008090 and 255 respectively.

 iMyWidget->SetVisualColor( TMulVisualColor::EThumbnailBackgroundColor, TRgb(0x008090,255) );
 Here 255 alpha implies Transparent Background.No matter what the color is.

Parameters

TMulVisualType aVisualType	visual to which color is to be applied.
const TRgb & aColor	RGB color

ShowWidget(bool, int)

void	ShowWidget	(	bool	aShow,
			int	aTransitionTime = 0
		)	[pure virtual]

To hide and unhide Widget.

Parameters

bool aShow	value to hide/unhide the Widget
int aTransitionTime = 0	Transition Time in MilliSeconds

Type()

const IfId &

Type

(

)

[static, inline]

Getter for the type identifier of this interface.
