PMWindow

Extends PMNonCopyable as public

Base window class.

The PMWindow class is the base window class and provides behavior common to all windows. Although this class contains behavior requiring the existence of a presentation window, you must construct the presentation window itself using a derived class.

You can construct and destruct objects of this class.

Note: Although you can construct objects of this class directly, you do not generally do so.

method has_focus

Has focus.

If the window has the input focus, TRUE is returned. Otherwise, FALSE is returned.

Source: pm_window.h:485

Code

       public virtual BOOL has_focus (	) const

method invalidate

This method adds a rectangle to a window's update region.

The update region is a subregion of a window that is deemed "invalid" or incorrect in visual terms and is in need of redrawing.

Source: pm_window.h:495

Code

       public virtual void invalidate ( const PMRect & rect ,
       	BOOL include_children = TRUE )

method invalidate

This method adds the whole window to a window's update region.

The update region is a subregion of a window that is deemed "invalid" or incorrect in visual terms and is in need of redrawing.

Source: pm_window.h:505

Code

       public virtual void invalidate ( BOOL include_children = TRUE )

method validate

This method subtracts a rectangle from a window's update region.

The update region is a subregion of a window that is deemed "invalid" or incorrect in visual terms and is in need of redrawing.

Source: pm_window.h:515

Code

       public virtual void validate (	const PMRect & rect ,
       	BOOL include_children = TRUE )

method validate

This method subtracts the whole window from a window's update region.

The update region is a subregion of a window that is deemed "invalid" or incorrect in visual terms and is in need of redrawing.

Source: pm_window.h:525

Code

       public virtual void validate (	BOOL include_children = TRUE )

method capture_pointer

Captures mouse pointer.

If capture is true, pointer events are sent only to this window even if the pointer is outside of this window. If capture is false, the window releases the pointer capture. If you attempt to capture the pointer when another window currently is capturing the pointer, an exception is thrown.

Source: pm_window.h:537

Code

       public virtual void capture_pointer (	BOOL capture = TRUE )

method release_pointer

Release mouse pointer.

Causes the window to release the pointer capture (pointer capture is set with the function capture_pointer).

This function causes mouse events to again be dispatched to the window underneath the mouse pointer.

Source: pm_window.h:549

Code

       public virtual void release_pointer ( )

method has_pointer_captured

Has pointer captured.

If this window is currently capturing pointer events, true is returned. Otherwise, false is returned.

Code

       public virtual void pointer (	LONG id )

method pointer

Returns the mouse pointer used when the mouse is over the window.

Source: pm_window.h:592

Code

       public virtual LONG pointer (	) const

method attach_accelerators

Replaces the accelerator keys used by the window.

Source: pm_window.h:603

Params

res_id: Accelerator-table identifier, within the resource file.
hmodule: Module handle referencing a dynamic link library containing the resource or NULLHANDLE for the application's module.

Code

       public virtual void attach_accelerators ( SHORT res_id ,
       	                                  HMODULE hmodule )

method detach_accelerators

Detaches the accelerator keys used by the window.

Source: pm_window.h:609

Code

       public virtual void detach_accelerators ( )

method send

Sends a message to window.

This method sends a message with identity msg to window, passing mp1 and mp2 as the parameters to the window.

Source: pm_window.h:619

Code

       public MRESULT send ( ULONG msg ,
       	MPARAM mp1 ,
       	MPARAM mp2 )

method post

Posts a message to window.

This method posts a message to the message queue associated with the window.

Source: pm_window.h:630

Returns: Success indicator.

Code

       public BOOL post ( ULONG msg ,
       	MPARAM mp1 ,
       	MPARAM mp2 )

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.

Source: pm_window.h:646

Code

       public virtual void start_timer ( ULONG id ,
       	                          ULONG timeout )

method stop_timer

This method stops a timer.

When this method is called, no further messages are received from the stopped timer, even if it has timed out.

Source: pm_window.h:655

Code

       public virtual void stop_timer ( ULONG id )

method auto_delete_object

Determines whether to delete the window object when the presentation window is destroyed.

The deletion occurs when the window system dispatches a destroy event to the window.

Source: pm_window.h:665

Code

       public virtual void auto_delete_object ( BOOL state = TRUE )

method is_auto_delete_object

If the window object is deleted when a destroy event is dispatched to the window, TRUE is returned.

Source: pm_window.h:672

Code

       public virtual BOOL is_auto_delete_object ( )

method handle_events

Handle events.

Attaches the handler to the PMWindow object. The windows's dispatch function is called to process all events sent or posted to the window.

Source: pm_window.h:684

Code

       protected void handle_events (	)

method stop_handling_events

Stop handling events.

Detaches the handler from the PMWindow object. The window's dispatch function is no longer called to process events sent or posted to the window.

Source: pm_window.h:694

Code: protected void stop_handling_events ( )

method dispatch

Dispatch system native events.

PMWindow calls this function when a system native window event occurs.

Source: pm_window.h:703

Code

       protected virtual MRESULT dispatch (	ULONG msg ,
       	MPARAM mp1 ,
       	MPARAM mp2 )

method dispatch_everything

Dispatch all not catched events.

A virtual method that provides default implementation for all events that occur on every window.

Source: pm_window.h:712

Code

       protected virtual MRESULT dispatch_everything (	ULONG msg ,
       	MPARAM mp1 ,
       	MPARAM mp2 )
