Returns a descriptive label of this widget instance.
This default implementation returns this widget's "shortcut property" (possibly trunctated to avoid over-long texts) - the property that contains the keyboard shortcut used to activate this widget or to move the keyboard focus to it. In most cases this is this widget's label.
Note: This is usually translated to the user's target language. This makes this useful for debugging only.
Reimplemented in YLabel, and YDumbTab.
Definition at line 221 of file YWidget.cc.
void YWidget::dumpDialogWidgetTree | ( | ) |
Debugging function: Dump the widget tree from this widget's dialog parent.
If there is no such dialog parent, dump the widget tree from here on.
Definition at line 661 of file YWidget.cc.
|

YDialog * YWidget::findDialog | ( | ) |
Traverse up the widget hierarchy and find the dialog this widget belongs to.
Returns 0 if there is none.
Definition at line 374 of file YWidget.cc.
Recursively find a widget by its ID.
If there is no widget with that ID, this function throws a YUIWidgetNotFoundException if 'doThrow' is 'true'. It returns 0 if 'doThrow' is 'false'.
Definition at line 605 of file YWidget.cc.
|
inline |
int YWidget::functionKey | ( | ) | const |
Return a function key number that is assigned to this widget.
(1 for F1, 2 for F2, etc.; 0 for none)

Get a property.
Derived classes need to implement this.
This method may throw exceptions, for example
Reimplemented in YWizard, YComboBox, YPushButton, YTable, YCheckBoxFrame, YInputField, YCheckBox, YPartitionSplitter, YLogView, YIntField, YRadioButton, YRichText, YBarGraph, YMultiProgressMeter, YLabel, YMenuButton, YMultiLineEdit, YContextMenu, YDownloadProgress, YTree, YSelectionBox, YBusyIndicator, YRadioButtonGroup, YProgressBar, YDumbTab, YSimpleInputField, YGraph, YFrame, YMultiSelectionBox, and YTimezoneSelector.
Definition at line 455 of file YWidget.cc.
bool YWidget::isValid | ( | ) | const |
Checks whether or not this object is valid.
This is to enable dangling pointer error checking (i.e. this object is already deallocated, but a pointer to it is still in use).
See also the YUI_CHECK_WIDGET() macro in YUIException.h
Definition at line 242 of file YWidget.cc.
bool YWidget::notify | ( | ) | const |
Returns whether the widget will notify, i.e.
will case UserInput to return.
Definition at line 532 of file YWidget.cc.
bool YWidget::notifyContextMenu | ( | ) | const |
Returns whether the widget will send an event when the user clicks selects the context menu e.g.
via right click.
Definition at line 538 of file YWidget.cc.
void * YWidget::operator new | ( | size_t | size | ) |
Overloaded operator new to ensure widgets are always created on the heap, never on the stack.
Simpler implementations of this have a tendency to be fooled by poorly implemented derived classes.
Definition at line 128 of file YWidget.cc.

pure virtual |
Preferred height of the widget.
Derived classes are required to implement this.
Implemented in YButtonBox, YAlignment, YLayoutBox, YSpacing, YEmpty, and YSingleChildContainerWidget.
|
virtual |
Preferred size of the widget in the specified dimension.
This default implementation calls preferredWidth() or preferredHeight() which makes sense for most cases.
Derived classes can reimplement this, but this is discouraged.
Note: Even in that case, preferredWidth() and preferredHeight() need to be implemented, but they might then call preferredSize().
Reimplemented in YLayoutBox.

Preferred width of the widget.
Derived classes are required to implement this.
Implemented in YButtonBox, YAlignment, YLayoutBox, YSpacing, YEmpty, and YSingleChildContainerWidget.
|

Return this class's property set.
This also initializes the property upon the first call.
Derived classes should reimplement this.
Remember to add the base class's property set to your own in reimplemented versions, e.g.:
const YPropertySet & MyWidgetClass::propertySet() { static YPropertySet propSet; if ( propSet.isEmpty() ) { // Add properties for the derived class propSet.add( YProperty( YUIProperty_Value, YStringProperty ) ); propSet.add( YProperty( YUIProperty_Label, YStringProperty ) ); // Add base class properties propSet.add( YWidget::propertySet() ); } return propSet; }
Otherwise the base class's properties will not be available in the derived class. It is also important that the base class's properties are added after those of the derived class so the derived class's properties have priority over those of the base class.
Reimplemented in YWizard, YComboBox, YPushButton, YTable, YCheckBoxFrame, YInputField, YCheckBox, YPartitionSplitter, YLogView, YIntField, YRadioButton, YRichText, YBarGraph, YMultiProgressMeter, YLabel, YMenuButton, YMultiLineEdit, YContextMenu, YDownloadProgress, YTree, YSelectionBox, YBusyIndicator, YRadioButtonGroup, YProgressBar, YDumbTab, YSimpleInputField, YGraph, YFrame, YMultiSelectionBox, and YTimezoneSelector.

Remove a child.
This only removes the child from the children manager's list; it does not delete it.
Definition at line 189 of file YWidget.cc.
|
virtual |
Recursively save the user input of all child widgets to a macro recorder:
All child widgets that could contain data entered by the user are requested to send their contents to the macro recorder, e.g. input fields, check boxes etc.
This default implementation records this widget's user input property (the property returned by userInputProperty) and then recursively calls saveUserInput() for all child widgets. This is suitable for most cases, for container widgets as well as for leaf widgets that have no or exactly one property that needs to be recorded.
Widgets that need another number of properties recorded should reimplement this method (and NOT call this default method in the new implementation).
Reimplemented in YInputField, YRadioButton, and YMultiSelectionBox.
Definition at line 717 of file YWidget.cc.
bool YWidget::sendKeyEvents | ( | ) | const |
Returns 'true' if this widget should send key events, i.e.
if it has opt(
keyEvent) set.
Definition at line 298 of file YWidget.cc.
|
protected |
Set the "being destroyed" flag, i.e.
indicate that this widget is in the process of being destroyed. The base class method already sets this, but sometimes it might be useful to call this in a derived class's destructor so certain optimizations work better.
This status intentionally cannot be reverted to "not being destroyed".
Definition at line 262 of file YWidget.cc.
|
protected |
Sets a new children manager for this widget.
The widget assumes ownership of this children manager and will delete it when appropriate.
The default children manager (a YWidgetChildrenRejector) rejects all children. This is useful for leaf widgets such as PushButton, ComboBox etc.
Derived classes that can handle children might want to set the children manager to a YWidgetChildrenManager (the base class that does not reject children) or to a YSingleWidgetChildManager (the class that handles exactly one child widget).
Definition at line 164 of file YWidget.cc.
void YWidget::setDefaultStretchable | ( | YUIDimension | dim, |
bool | newStretch | ||
) |
Set the stretchable state to "newStretch".
hstretch or
vstretch options may override this.
Definition at line 564 of file YWidget.cc.
|
virtual |
Enable or disable this widget, i.e.
make it accept or reject user input.
Derived classes should call the base class method to update the internal "enabled" flag.
Definition at line 498 of file YWidget.cc.
|
virtual |
Assign a function key to this widget (1 for F1, 2 for F2, etc.
; 0 for none)
Derived classes may want to overwrite this function, but they should call this base class function in the new function.
Reimplemented in YPushButton.
Definition at line 334 of file YWidget.cc.
void YWidget::setHelpText | ( | const std::string & | helpText | ) |
Set a help text for this widget.
Currently, the UI does not do anything with this text but store it. Displaying the text at a convenient time is currently the application's responsibility. This may change in future versions.
Definition at line 346 of file YWidget.cc.
void YWidget::setId | ( | YWidgetID * | newId_disown | ) |
Set this widget's ID.
The widget assumes ownership of this ID and will delete it when needed. (In the widget's destructor or when a new ID is set)
Widget IDs are purely for application use. C++ applications don't need to use them; they are much better off using widget pointers. For other languages, though, that can't use C++ pointers (e.g. Ruby) it makes sense to have widget IDs to identify widgets.
Definition at line 359 of file YWidget.cc.

virtual |
Set the keyboard focus to this widget.
The default implementation just emits a warning message. Overwrite this function for all widgets that can accept the keyboard focus.
This function returns true if the widget did accept the keyboard focus, and false if not.
Definition at line 597 of file YWidget.cc.
|
virtual |
Set a property.
Derived classes need to implement this.
This method may throw exceptions, for example
This function returns 'true' if the value was successfully set and 'false' if that value requires special handling (not in error cases: those are covered by exceptions).
Reimplemented in YComboBox, YPushButton, YTable, YCheckBoxFrame, YInputField, YCheckBox, YPartitionSplitter, YLogView, YIntField, YRadioButton, YRichText, YBarGraph, YMultiProgressMeter, YLabel, YMenuButton, YMultiLineEdit, YContextMenu, YDownloadProgress, YTree, YSelectionBox, YBusyIndicator, YRadioButtonGroup, YProgressBar, YDumbTab, YSimpleInputField, YGraph, YFrame, YMultiSelectionBox, and YTimezoneSelector.
Definition at line 430 of file YWidget.cc.

Set the string of this widget that holds the keyboard shortcut, if any.
Most widgets will call setLabel().
Overwrite this for widgets that can have keyboard shortcuts.
Reimplemented in YSelectionWidget, YPushButton, YInputField, YCheckBox, YLogView, YIntField, YRadioButton, YMultiLineEdit, YCheckBoxFrame, YDumbTab, and YSimpleInputField.
Definition at line 511 of file YWidget.cc.

pure virtual |
Set the new size of the widget.
Layout manager widgets (like YLayoutBox) call this during geometry management after all widgets are queried about their preferred widths and heights. Depending on layout constraints, widgets might be resized beyond or below their preferred size.
The sizes passed here are not meant to affect any future preferredWidth() or preferredHeight() calls; they are just the outcome of all kinds of compromises (too little screen space or too much) for the current geometry management calculation.
Derived classes are required to implement this function.
Implemented in YButtonBox, YAlignment, YLayoutBox, and YSingleChildContainerWidget.
void YWidget::setWidgetRep | ( | void * | toolkitWidgetRep | ) |
Set the pointer to the underlying toolkit's (Qt, ...) widget representing this abstract UI widget.
This pointer might be useful for derived UIs to store a counterpart of the toolkit widget in each YWidget. The abstract UI does not need that, though; this is purely for the convenience of derived UIs. All the abstract UI ever does with that pointer is store it.

Get the string of this widget that holds the keyboard shortcut, if any.
Most widgets will return label().
Overwrite this for widgets that can have keyboard shortcuts.
Reimplemented in YSelectionWidget, YPushButton, YInputField, YCheckBox, YLogView, YIntField, YRadioButton, YMultiLineEdit, YCheckBoxFrame, YDumbTab, and YSimpleInputField.

In some UIs updating the screen content is an expensive operation.
Use startMultipleChanges() to tell the ui that you're going to perform multiple chages to the widget. The UI may delay any screen updates until doneMultipleChanges() is called.
|
virtual |
This is a boolean value that determines whether the widget is resizable beyond its preferred size in the specified dimension.
A selection box is stretchable in both dimensions, a push button is not stretchable by default, a frame is stretchable if its contents are stretchable. Most widgets accept a hstretch or
vstretch option to become stretchable even when by default they are not.
Reimplemented in YButtonBox, YAlignment, YDumbTab, YLayoutBox, YSquash, and YSingleChildContainerWidget.

inlinevirtual |
The name of the widget property that will return user input, if there is any.
Widgets that do have user input (such as InputField, ComboBox, SelBox) should overwrite this methods. Widgets that are purely passive (such as Label, RichText) should not.
Reimplemented in YComboBox, YInputField, YCheckBox, YTable, YIntField, YRadioButton, YPartitionSplitter, YMultiLineEdit, YTree, YSelectionBox, YCheckBoxFrame, YSimpleInputField, and YMultiSelectionBox.
|
virtual |
The weight is used in situations where all widgets can get their preferred size and yet space is available.
The remaining space will be devided between all stretchable widgets according to their weights. A widget with greater weight will get more space. The default weight for all widgets is 0.
Derived classes can overwrite this function, but they should call this base class function in the new function.
