|
15 controls</title> |
|
16 <p>Window-owning controls have the same size and position as a window in |
|
17 the display. Each window has a one-to-one relationship with the control that |
|
18 covers it, and shares its behavior with that control.</p> |
|
19 <p>Examples of window-owning controls include:</p> |
|
20 <ul> |
|
21 <li><p>top-level control in <xref href="GUID-B5DE1C86-2B16-4B22-887F-7079E54A8ED6.dita">Traditional |
|
22 Symbian architecture</xref></p></li> |
|
23 <li><p>the subpanes in the status pane</p></li> |
|
24 <li><p>pop-up windows, when a sense of layering is required</p> |
|
25 </li> |
|
26 </ul> |
|
27 <p>The following code snippet is an example of the second phase construction |
|
28 of a window-owning control:</p> |
|
29 <codeblock id="GUID-234E4AC3-2FC8-4AD9-8B72-0FBA478E1D5A" xml:space="preserve">CMyControl::ConstructL() |
|
30 { |
|
31 CreateWindowL(); // This makes the control window- |
|
32 // owning |
|
33 SetRectL(ClientRect()); // This sets the control’s |
|
34 // size |
|
35 ActivateL(); // This must be called before |
|
36 // the control can be drawn |
|
37 } |
|
38 </codeblock> |
|
39 <p><parmname>ClientRect()</parmname> returns the screen area available |
|
40 to the application for drawing. This typically does not include the space |
|
41 that is reserved for the status/control panes.</p> |

44 <section id="GUID-13D754E5-EBCF-4058-B3B3-05505289953B"><title>Non-window-owning |
|
45 controls</title> |
|
46 <p>Non-window-owning controls typically cover only part of a window on |
|
47 the display, and must be contained in window-owning controls. They are faster |
|
48 and require fewer resources than window-owning controls.</p> |
|
49 <p>Examples of non-window-owning controls include:</p> |
|
50 <ul> |
|
51 <li><p>command buttons</p></li> |
|
52 <li><p>edit windows</p></li> |
|
53 <li><p>labels</p></li> |
|
54 </ul> |
|
55 <p>Non-window-owning controls are assigned to window-owning controls by |
|
56 calling <xref href="jar:GUID-35228542-8C95-4849-A73F-2B4F082F0C44.jar!/sdk/doc_source/reference/reference-cpp/Control_Environment/CCoeControlClass.html#%3a%3aCCoeControl%3a%3aSetContainerWindowL%28RBackedUpWindow%20%26amp%3b%29" format="application/java-archive"><parmname>CCoeControl::SetContainerWindowL</parmname></xref> when the |
|
57 control is constructed.</p> |
