Detailed Description

An interactive graphical object as part of the user-interface.

Rendering is done in three distinct phases:

  1. Updating Constraints: widget::set_constraints()
  2. Updating Layout: widget::set_layout()
  3. Drawing: widget::draw()

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ widget()

hi::v1::widget::widget ( widget * parent)
noexcept

Constructor for creating sub views.

Member Function Documentation

◆ accepts_keyboard_focus()

virtual bool hi::v1::widget::accepts_keyboard_focus ( keyboard_focus_group group) const
inlinevirtualnoexcept

Check if the widget will accept keyboard focus.

Reimplemented in hi::v1::scroll_bar_widget< Axis >.

◆ draw()

virtual void hi::v1::widget::draw ( draw_context const & context)
pure virtualnoexcept

Draw the widget.

This function is called by the window (optionally) on every frame. It should recursively call this function on every visible child. This function is only called when updateLayout() has returned true.

The overriding function should call the base class's draw(), the place where the call this function will determine the order of the vertices into each buffer. This is important when needing to do the painters algorithm for alpha-compositing. However the pipelines are always drawn in the same order.

Parameters
contextThe context to where the widget will draw.

Implemented in hi::v1::scroll_bar_widget< Axis >.

◆ find_next_widget()

virtual widget const * hi::v1::widget::find_next_widget ( widget const * current_keyboard_widget,
keyboard_focus_group group,
keyboard_focus_direction direction ) const
virtualnoexcept

Find the next widget that handles keyboard focus.

This recursively looks for the current keyboard widget, then returns the next (or previous) widget that returns true from accepts_keyboard_focus().

Parameters
current_keyboard_widgetThe widget that currently has focus; or empty to get the first widget that accepts focus.
groupThe group to which the widget must belong.
directionThe direction in which to walk the widget tree.
Returns
A pointer to the next widget.
Return values
currentKeyboardWidgetwhen currentKeyboardWidget was found but no next widget was found.
emptywhen currentKeyboardWidget is not found in this Widget.

◆ handle_event()

virtual bool hi::v1::widget::handle_event ( gui_event const & event)
virtualnoexcept

Handle command.

If a widget does not fully handle a command it should pass the command to the super class' handle_event().

Reimplemented in hi::v1::scroll_bar_widget< Axis >.

◆ handle_event_recursive()

virtual bool hi::v1::widget::handle_event_recursive ( gui_event const & event,
std::vector< widget const * > const & reject_list = std::vectorwidget const * >{} )
virtualnoexcept

Handle command recursive.

Handle a command and pass it to each child.

Parameters
eventThe command to handle by this widget.
reject_listThe widgets that should ignore this command
Returns
True when the command was handled by this widget or recursed child.

◆ hitbox_test()

virtual hitbox hi::v1::widget::hitbox_test ( point3 position) const
inlinevirtualnoexcept

Find the widget that is under the mouse cursor.

This function will recursively test with visual child widgets, when widgets overlap on the screen the hitbox object with the highest elevation is returned.

Parameters
positionThe coordinate of the mouse local to the widget.
Returns
A hit_box object with the cursor-type and a reference to the widget.

Reimplemented in hi::v1::scroll_bar_widget< Axis >.

◆ hitbox_test_from_parent() [1/2]

virtual hitbox hi::v1::widget::hitbox_test_from_parent ( point3 position) const
inlinevirtualnoexcept

Call hitbox_test from a parent widget.

This function will transform the position from parent coordinates to local coordinates.

Parameters
positionThe coordinate of the mouse local to the parent widget.

◆ hitbox_test_from_parent() [2/2]

virtual hitbox hi::v1::widget::hitbox_test_from_parent ( point3 position,
hitbox sibling_hitbox ) const
inlinevirtualnoexcept

Call hitbox_test from a parent widget.

This function will transform the position from parent coordinates to local coordinates.

Parameters
positionThe coordinate of the mouse local to the parent widget.
sibling_hitboxThe hitbox of a sibling to combine with the hitbox of this widget.

◆ is_first()

bool hi::v1::widget::is_first ( keyboard_focus_group group) const
noexcept

Is this widget the first widget in the parent container.

◆ is_last()

bool hi::v1::widget::is_last ( keyboard_focus_group group) const
noexcept

Is this widget the last widget in the parent container.

◆ layout()

widget_layout const & hi::v1::widget::layout ( ) const
inlinenoexcept

Get the current layout for this widget.

◆ parent_chain()

std::vector< widget const * > hi::v1::widget::parent_chain ( ) const
noexcept

Get a list of parents of a given widget.

The chain includes the given widget.

◆ request_redraw()

void hi::v1::widget::request_redraw ( ) const
inlinenoexcept

Request the widget to be redrawn on the next frame.

◆ scroll_to_show() [1/2]

void hi::v1::widget::scroll_to_show ( )
inlinenoexcept

Scroll to show the important part of the widget.

◆ scroll_to_show() [2/2]

virtual void hi::v1::widget::scroll_to_show ( hi::aarectangle rectangle)
virtualnoexcept

Scroll to show the given rectangle on the window.

This will call parents, until all parents have scrolled the rectangle to be shown on the window.

Parameters
rectangleThe rectangle in window coordinates.

◆ set_constraints()

virtual widget_constraints const & hi::v1::widget::set_constraints ( set_constraints_context const & context)
pure virtualnoexcept

Update the constraints of the widget.

Typically the implementation of this function starts with recursively calling set_constraints() on its children.

If the container, due to a change in constraints, wants the window to resize to the minimum size it should call request_resize().

Postcondition
This function will change what is returned by widget::minimum_size(), widget::preferred_size() and widget::maximum_size().

Implemented in hi::v1::scroll_bar_widget< Axis >.

◆ set_layout()

virtual void hi::v1::widget::set_layout ( widget_layout const & context)
pure virtualnoexcept

Update the internal layout of the widget.

This function is called when the size of this widget must change, or if any of the widget request a re-layout.

This function may be used for expensive calculations, such as geometry calculations, which should only be done when the data or sizes change; it should cache these calculations.

Postcondition
This function will change what is returned by widget::size() and the transformation matrices.
Parameters
layoutThe layout for this child.

Implemented in hi::v1::scroll_bar_widget< Axis >.

Field Documentation

◆ focus

observer<bool> hi::v1::widget::focus = false

The widget has keyboard focus.

◆ hover

observer<bool> hi::v1::widget::hover = false

Mouse cursor is hovering over the widget.

◆ id

std::string hi::v1::widget::id

A name of widget, should be unique between siblings.

◆ logical_layer

int hi::v1::widget::logical_layer

The logical layer of the widget.

The logical layer can be used to determine how far away from the window-widget (root) the current widget is.

Logical layers start at 0 for the window-widget. Each child widget increases the logical layer by 1.

◆ mode

observer<widget_mode> hi::v1::widget::mode = widget_mode::enabled

The widget mode.

The current visibility and interactivity of a widget.

◆ parent

widget* hi::v1::widget::parent

Pointer to the parent widget.

May be a nullptr only when this is the top level widget.

◆ semantic_layer

int hi::v1::widget::semantic_layer

The draw layer of the widget.

The semantic layer is used mostly by the draw() function for selecting colors from the theme, to denote nesting widgets inside other widgets.

Semantic layers start at 0 for the window-widget and for any pop-up widgets.

The semantic layer is increased by one, whenever a user of the user-interface would understand the next layer to begin.

In most cases it would mean that a container widget that does not draw itself will not increase the semantic_layer number.
