Unigine::WindowManager Class

Header: #include <UnigineWindowManager.h>

The class to manage windows enabling you to access any window of the appllication, group or stack windows, create various dialogs and so on.

Accessing Windows#

An application window can be accessed via the getWindow() function. There are also some functions (like getMainWindow()) that allow accessing the specific windows (a focused window, a fullscreen window and so on).

Source code (C++)
// get the main window
EngineWindowPtr main_window = WindowManager::getMainWindow();
// change its position and size
if (main_window)
{
	main_window->setPosition(Math::ivec2(1020, 60));
	main_window->setSize(Math::ivec2(305, 670));
}

Grouping Windows#

The engine windows created via the EngineWindow class can be grouped. There are three types of the window groups:

  • Vertical
  • Horizontal
  • Group of tabs
The number of windows in the group is unlimited.

The WindowManager class provides two main functions for grouping windows:

Source code (C++)
// create separate windows
EngineWindowPtr horizontal_1 = EngineWindow::create("Horizontal 1", 512, 256);
EngineWindowPtr horizontal_2 = EngineWindow::create("Horizontal 2", 512, 256);
EngineWindowPtr horizontal_3 = EngineWindow::create("Horizontal 3", 512, 256);
EngineWindowPtr horizontal_4 = EngineWindow::create("Horizontal 4", 512, 256);

// create 2 horizontal window groups 
EngineWindowPtr horizontal_group_1 = WindowManager::stack(horizontal_1, horizontal_2, 1, EngineWindow::GROUP_TYPE_HORIZONTAL);
EngineWindowPtr horizontal_group_2 = WindowManager::stack(horizontal_3, horizontal_4, 1, EngineWindow::GROUP_TYPE_HORIZONTAL);
// create a vertical group of 2 horizontal groups
EngineWindowPtr vertical_group = WindowManager::stackGroups(horizontal_group_1, horizontal_group_2, EngineWindow::GROUP_TYPE_VERTICAL);
// specify position, size, title of the verical window group
vertical_group->setPosition(Math::ivec2(50, 60));
vertical_group->setSize(Math::ivec2(565, 310));
vertical_group->setTitle("Horizontal Group");
// render the window group
vertical_group->show();
Each window or window group has a state, so it changes after stacking.

There are also functions based on the stack() function that should be used in specific cases to avoid additional checking of arguments:

  • stackToParentGroup() stacks the second window to the parent group of the first window. In the result, both windows passed as arguments will be on the same level in the group hierarchy.
  • stackWindows() creates a group of the separate/nested windows. The windows are stacked in the default order.
  • stackToWindow() stacks the window to the other window. If the first argument is the separate window, a new window group is returned. If the first argument is the nested window, the window is added to its group.
  • stackToGroup() stacks the window or window group to another window group.
Follow the links to see the code examples.

For ungrouping, the unstack() function is used: it removes the window or the window group from the parent group.

Creating Dialog Windows#

To create a dialog window, use the corresponding functions of the class. For example:

Source code (C++)
// event handler function
int AppSystemLogic::onButtonClicked()
{
	// show the message dialog
	WindowManager::dialogMessage("Message", "Button has been clicked");
	
	return 1; 

}

int AppSystemLogic::init()
{
	// create a window with widgets in the client area
	auto create_window = [](const char *name)
	{
		EngineWindowPtr window = EngineWindow::create(name, 512, 256);

		window->addChild(WidgetLabel::create(window->getSelfGui(), String::format("This is %s window.", name)), Gui::ALIGN_TOP);
		window->addChild(WidgetButton::create(window->getSelfGui(), name), Gui::ALIGN_CENTER);

		return window;

	};

	{
		// create a window
		EngineWindowPtr window = create_window("Window");
		// get the child widget of the window
		WidgetPtr button = window->getChild(1);
		// add a callback for this widget
		button->addCallback(Gui::CLICKED, MakeCallback(this, &AppSystemLogic::onButtonClicked));
		// show the window
		window->setPosition(Math::ivec2(50, 60));
		window->show();
	}

	return 1;

}

Members


Ptr<EngineWindow> getMainWindow ( ) const#

Returns the window that is set as the main window by default.

Notice
There may be several windows that are set as main, or no main windows at all.

Return value

The engine window.

int getNumWindows ( ) const#

Returns the number of windows.

Return value

Returns the group of windows. If the first argument is a window, a new group is always created. If the first argument is a group, the second element is added to this group. The order of stacking can be changed by passing the index argument. To combine two groups into a new one, use the stackGroups() method.
Source code (C++)
EngineWindowPtr window_1 = EngineWindow::create("Window 1", 512, 256);
EngineWindowPtr window_2 = EngineWindow::create("Window 2", 512, 256);

// create a horizontal group of windows
EngineWindowPtr group_1 = WindowManager::stack(window_1, window_2, 1, EngineWindow::GROUP_TYPE_HORIZONTAL);

Arguments

  • const Ptr<EngineWindow> & first - The first window or group for merging.
  • const Ptr<EngineWindow> & second - The second window for merging.
  • int index - A place where a window or a group should be placed in a group.
  • EngineWindow::GROUP_TYPE group_type - Type of a group to be created, if the first argument is a window and not a group.

Return value

Group of windows.

Ptr<EngineWindow> stackToParentGroup ( const Ptr<EngineWindow> & destination, const Ptr<EngineWindow> & window, int index = -1, bool decompose_second = false ) #

Stacks the second window to the parent window group of the first window. In the result, both windows passed as arguments will be on the same level in the group hierarchy. If the first window has no parent group, the function will return it as is.
Source code (C++)
EngineWindowPtr window_1 = EngineWindow::create("Window 1", 512, 256);
EngineWindowPtr window_2 = EngineWindow::create("Window 2", 512, 256);
EngineWindowPtr window_3 = EngineWindow::create("Window 3", 512, 256);

// stack 2 separate windows
EngineWindowPtr group_0 = WindowManager::stackWindows(window_1, window_2, EngineWindow::GROUP_TYPE_HORIZONTAL);
// stack a separate window to the parent group of "window_1"
WindowManager::stackToParentGroup(window_1,window_3);

Arguments

  • const Ptr<EngineWindow> & destination - The window into the parent group of which the other window is stacked.

You cannot stack the window group to the separate window, however, you can stack a window nested in the window group: in this case, the window will be unstacked from its parent group and added to the new one. The windows are stacked in the default order. For example:
Source code (C++)
EngineWindowPtr window_1 = EngineWindow::create("Window 1", 512, 256);
EngineWindowPtr window_2 = EngineWindow::create("Window 2", 512, 256);
EngineWindowPtr window_3 = EngineWindow::create("Window 3", 512, 256);

// stack 2 separate windows
EngineWindowPtr group_0 = WindowManager::stackWindows(window_1, window_2, EngineWindow::GROUP_TYPE_HORIZONTAL);

// stack a window from the window group to a separate window
EngineWindowPtr group_1 = WindowManager::stackWindows(window_3, window_1, EngineWindow::GROUP_TYPE_VERTICAL);
