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).
// 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 EngineWindowclass 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:
- stack()creates a group of two windows.
- stackGroups()creates a group of two window groups.
// create separate windows
EngineWindowViewportPtr horizontal_1 = EngineWindowViewport::create("Horizontal 1", 512, 256);
EngineWindowViewportPtr horizontal_2 = EngineWindowViewport::create("Horizontal 2", 512, 256);
EngineWindowViewportPtr horizontal_3 = EngineWindowViewport::create("Horizontal 3", 512, 256);
EngineWindowViewportPtr horizontal_4 = EngineWindowViewport::create("Horizontal 4", 512, 256);
// create 2 horizontal window groups
EngineWindowGroupPtr horizontal_group_1 = WindowManager::stack(horizontal_1, horizontal_2, EngineWindowGroup::GROUP_TYPE_HORIZONTAL);
EngineWindowGroupPtr horizontal_group_2 = WindowManager::stack(horizontal_3, horizontal_4, EngineWindowGroup::GROUP_TYPE_HORIZONTAL);
// create a vertical group of 2 horizontal groups
EngineWindowGroupPtr vertical_group = WindowManager::stackGroups(horizontal_group_1, horizontal_group_2, EngineWindowGroup::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("Vertical 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.
- stack()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:
// event handler function
int AppSystemLogic::onButtonClicked(const WidgetPtr &sender_widget, int buttons)
{
// show the message dialog
WindowManager::dialogMessage("Message", "The button has been pressed.");
return 1;
}
int AppSystemLogic::init()
{
// create a window with widgets in the client area
auto create_window = [](const char *name)
{
EngineWindowViewportPtr window = EngineWindowViewport::create(name, 512, 256);
window->addChild(WidgetLabel::create(window->getSelfGui(), String::format("This is a %s.", name)), Gui::ALIGN_TOP);
window->addChild(WidgetButton::create(window->getSelfGui(), name), Gui::ALIGN_CENTER);
return window;
};
{
// create a window
EngineWindowViewportPtr window = create_window("Window");
// get the child widget of the window
WidgetPtr button = window->getChild(1);
// subscribe to the Clicked event
button->getEventClicked().connect(this, &AppSystemLogic::onButtonClicked);
// show the window
window->setPosition(Math::ivec2(50, 60));
window->show();
} return 1;
}

- int index - Index of the window.
Return value
Engine window.int getWindowIndex ( const Ptr<EngineWindow> & window ) const#
Returns the index of the specified window.Arguments

Return value
Index of the window.Ptr<EngineWindowGroup> stack ( const Ptr<EngineWindow> & first_window, const Ptr<EngineWindow> & second_window, EngineWindowGroup::GROUP_TYPE group_type, int index = -1, bool decompose_second = false ) #
