constructor PMButton

Wraps the push button control window object around an existing presentation window handle.

The wrapped window object usually have a limited functionality. You can query and set the window attributes, size, position and visibility status.

Source

pm_button.h:36

Code

       public PMButton ( HWND handle )

constructor PMButton

Wraps the push button control window object around an existing child window with the specified identifier.

The wrapped window object usually have a limited functionality. You can query and set the window attributes, size, position and visibility status.

Source

pm_button.h:50

Params

hparent

Specifies the parent-window handle.

id

Specifies the identity of the child window.

Code

public PMButton (HWND hparent, SHORT id)

constructor PMButton

Constructs the push button control window.

Source

pm_button.h:103

Params

id

Specifies the window identifier.

text

Specifies the window text.

hparent

Specifies the parent-window handle.

x,y,cx,cy

Specifies the window shape.

style

Specifies the window style:

BS_PUSHBUTTON

A pushbutton is a box that contains a string. When a button is pushed, by clicking the pointing device on it or pressing the spacebar when it is active, the parent window is notified.

BS_NOTEBOOKBUTTON

A notebook button is identical to a pushbutton except that when it is created as a child of a notebook page it becomes a button in the common button area of the notebook page. If the button is not in a notebook page it will be indistinguishable from a pushbutton.

BS_AUTOSIZE

Creates a button that is sized automatically to ensure that the contents fit. Note: The cx or cy parameter of must be specified as -1 to implement the autosize feature.

BS_BITMAP

Places a bit map instead of text on the push button control.

BS_DEFAULT

A BS_DEFAULT pushbutton is one with a thick border box. It has the same properties as a pushbutton. In addition, the user may press a BS_DEFAULT pushbutton by pressing the RETURN or ENTER key.

BS_HELP

The button posts a WM_HELP message rather than a WM_COMMAND message. If both BS_HELP and BS_SYSCOMMAND are set, BS_HELP takes precedence.

BS_ICON

Places an icon instead of text on the push button control.

BS_MINIICON

This enables miniicons (half the size of normal icons) to be placed on the push button control.

BS_NOBORDER

The pushbutton is displayed without a border drawn around it. There is no other change in the pushbutton's operation.

BS_NOPOINTERFOCUS

Buttons with this style do not set the focus to themselves when clicked with the pointing device. This enables the cursor to stay on a control for which information is required, rather than moving to the button. This style has no effect on keyboard interaction. The tab key can still be used as usual to move the focus to the button.

BS_SYSCOMMAND

The button posts a WM_SYSCOMMAND message rather than a WM_COMMAND message.

method start_timer

This method starts a timer.

This method creates a timer identified by id, set to time out every timeout milliseconds. When a timer times out, a WM_TIMER message is posted.

A timeout value of zero causes the timer to timeout as fast as possible; generally, this is about 1/18 second.

A second call of this method, for a timer that already exists, resets that timer.
