Unigine::Widget Class

Header: #include <UnigineWidgets.h>

This base class is used to create graphical user interface widgets of different types. The Widget class doesn't provide creating of a widget: you can create the required widget by using a constructor of the corresponding class inherited from the Widget class.

Widgets can be used separately or form a hierarchy.

Working with Widgets#

The example below demonstrates how to create a single widget, a hierarchy of widgets, and subscribe for a widget's event.

AppWorldLogic.cpp

Source code (C++)
#include "AppWorldLogic.h"
#include <UnigineWidgets.h>

using namespace Unigine;

// EventConnections class instance to manage event subscriptions
EventConnections econnections;

void on_button_click(const WidgetPtr& button, int mbuttons)
{
	Log::message("world button click\n");
}

int AppWorldLogic::init()
{
	// create a single widget
	WidgetButtonPtr button = WidgetButton::create("WORLD_BUTTON");
	// subscribe for the Clicked event
	button->getEventClicked().connect(econnections, on_button_click);
	// add the button to WindowManager
	WindowManager::getMainWindow()->addChild(button);

	// create a hierarchy of widgets
	WidgetHBoxPtr hbox = WidgetHBox::create();
	hbox->setBackground(1);
	hbox->setBackgroundColor(Math::vec4_white);
	WindowManager::getMainWindow()->addChild(hbox, Gui::ALIGN_EXPAND);

	WidgetGroupBoxPtr group = WidgetGroupBox::create();
	group->setBackground(1);
	group->setText("Widgets Hierarchy");
	hbox->addChild(group);

	group->addChild(WidgetLabel::create("hierarchy_label_0"));
	group->addChild(WidgetLabel::create("hierarchy_label_1"));

	return 1;
}

int AppWorldLogic::shutdown()
{
	// removing all event subscriptions somewhere on shutdown
	econnections.disconnectAll();

	return 1;
}

Lifetime of Widgets#

By default each new widget's lifetime matches the lifetime of the Engine (i.e. the widget shall be deleted on Engine shutdown). But you can choose widget's lifetime to be managed:

  • By a separate window — in this case the widget is deleted automatically on deleting the window.
  • By the world — in this case the widget is deleted when the world is closed.
  • Manually — in this case the widget should be deleted manually.

The examples below show how the different lifetime management types work.

Managing Lifetime by the World#

In this example, the widgets appear on loading the world. When you reload or exit the world, or close the Engine window, the widgets are deleted as their lifetime is managed by the world. The corresponding messages will be shown in the console.

AppWorldLogic.cpp

Source code (C++)
#include "AppWorldLogic.h"
#include <UnigineWidgets.h>

using namespace Unigine;

// EventConnections class instance to manage event subscriptions
EventConnections econn;

void on_button_click(const WidgetPtr &button, int mbuttons)
{
	Log::message("world button click\n");
}

void on_button_remove(const WidgetPtr &button)
{
	Log::message("world button removed\n");
}

void on_hbox_remove(const WidgetPtr &hbox)
{
	Log::message("world hbox hierarchy removed\n");
}

int AppWorldLogic::init()
{

	// single world widget
	WidgetButtonPtr button = WidgetButton::create("WORLD_BUTTON");
	button->setLifetime(Widget::LIFETIME_WORLD);
	button->getEventClicked().connect(econn, on_button_click);
	button->getEventRemove().connect(econn, on_button_remove);
	WindowManager::getMainWindow()->addChild(button);

	// world hierarchy
	WidgetHBoxPtr hbox = WidgetHBox::create();
	hbox->setLifetime(Widget::LIFETIME_WORLD);
	hbox->getEventRemove().connect(econn, on_hbox_remove);
	hbox->setBackground(1);
	hbox->setBackgroundColor(Math::vec4_red);
	WindowManager::getMainWindow()->addChild(hbox, Gui::ALIGN_EXPAND);

	WidgetGroupBoxPtr group = WidgetGroupBox::create();
	group->setBackground(1);
	group->setText("World Hierarchy");
	hbox->addChild(group);

	group->addChild(WidgetLabel::create("hierarchy_world_label_0"));
	group->addChild(WidgetLabel::create("hierarchy_world_label_1"));

	return 1;
}

int AppWorldLogic::shutdown()
{
	// removing all event subscriptions
	econn.disconnectAll();

	return 1;
}
Managing Lifetime by the Window#

In this example, widgets appear in a separate window. When you close the window, the widgets are deleted as their lifetime is managed by this window. The console shows the following information:

  • Whether the window, button and hbox hierarchy are deleted or not.
  • Whether the remove callbacks are fired or not.
  • Messages from the remove callbacks.

After closing, the window can be re-created by pressing T.

AppSystemLogic.cpp

Source code (C++)
#include "AppSystemLogic.h"
#include <UnigineWidgets.h>

using namespace Unigine;

// EventConnections class instance to manage event subscriptions
EventConnections econnections;

EngineWindowViewportPtr window;

WidgetButtonPtr button;
WidgetHBoxPtr hbox;

bool button_remove_handler = false;
bool hbox_remove_handler = false;

void on_window_button_click()
{
	Log::message("window button click\n");
}

void on_window_button_remove()
{
	Log::message("window button removed\n");
	button_remove_handler = true;
}

void on_window_hbox_remove()
{
	Log::message("window hbox hierarchy removed\n");
	hbox_remove_handler = true;
}

void create_window()
{

	button_remove_handler = false;
	hbox_remove_handler = false;

	window = EngineWindowViewport::create("Test", 512, 256, EngineWindow::FLAGS_SHOWN);

	// single window widget
	button = WidgetButton::create("WINDOW_BUTTON");
	button->setLifetime(Widget::LIFETIME_WINDOW);
	button->getEventClicked().connect(econnections, on_window_button_click);
	button->getEventRemove().connect(econnections, on_window_button_remove);
	window->addChild(button);

	// window hierarchy
	hbox = WidgetHBox::create();
	hbox->setLifetime(Widget::LIFETIME_WINDOW);
	hbox->getEventRemove().connect(econnections, on_window_hbox_remove);
	hbox->setBackground(1);
	hbox->setBackgroundColor(Math::vec4_red);
	window->addChild(hbox, Gui::ALIGN_EXPAND);

	WidgetGroupBoxPtr group = WidgetGroupBox::create();
	group->setBackground(1);
	group->setText("Window Hierarchy");
	hbox->addChild(group);

	group->addChild(WidgetLabel::create("hierarchy_window_label_0"));
	group->addChild(WidgetLabel::create("hierarchy_window_label_1"));

}

int AppSystemLogic::init()
{

	create_window();

	return 1;
}

int AppSystemLogic::update()
{

	if (Input::isKeyDown(Input::KEY_T) && window.isDeleted())
		create_window();

	Log::message("window deleted: %d, button deleted: %d, hbox deleted: %d, button remove handler: %d, hbox remove handler: %d\n",
		window.isDeleted(), button.isDeleted(), hbox.isDeleted(), button_remove_handler, hbox_remove_handler);

	return 1;
}

int AppSystemLogic::shutdown()
{
	// removing all event subscriptions
	econnections.disconnectAll();

	return 1;
}
Managing Lifetime by the Engine#

Widgets are created on Engine initialization, and then added to a separate window. The console shows the following information:

  • Whether the window, button and hbox hierarchy are deleted or not.
  • Whether the remove callbacks are fired or not.
  • Messages from the remove callbacks.

If you close the window, it will be deleted and the information in the console will change. All the other widgets are deleted only on Engine shutdown, as their lifetime is managed by the Engine.

If the separate window is closed, press T to re-create it.

AppSystemLogic.cpp

Source code (C++)
#include "AppSystemLogic.h"
#include <UnigineWidgets.h>

using namespace Unigine;

void on_engine_button_click(const WidgetPtr &button, int mbuttons)
{
	Log::message("engine button click\n");

	engine_button_remove_handler = true;
}

void on_engine_hbox_remove(const WidgetPtr &hbox)
{
	Log::message("engine hbox hierarchy removed\n");
	engine_hbox_remove_handler = true;
}

void create_engine_window()
{

	engine_window = EngineWindowViewport::create("Test", 512, 256, EngineWindow::FLAGS_SHOWN);

	engine_window->addChild(engine_button);
	engine_window->addChild(engine_hbox, Gui::ALIGN_EXPAND);

}

int AppSystemLogic::init()
{

	engine_button_remove_handler = false;
	engine_hbox_remove_handler = false;

	// single engine widget
	engine_button = WidgetButton::create("ENGINE_BUTTON");
	engine_button->setLifetime(Widget::LIFETIME_ENGINE);
	engine_button->getEventClicked().connect(econnections, on_engine_button_click);
	engine_button->getEventRemove().connect(econnections, on_engine_button_remove);

	// engine hierarchy
	engine_hbox = WidgetHBox::create();
	engine_hbox->setLifetime(Widget::LIFETIME_ENGINE);
	engine_hbox->getEventRemove().connect(econnections, on_engine_hbox_remove);
	engine_hbox->setBackground(1);
	engine_hbox->setBackgroundColor(Math::vec4_red);

	WidgetGroupBoxPtr engine_group = WidgetGroupBox::create();
	engine_group->setBackground(1);
	engine_group->setText("Engine Hierarchy");
	engine_hbox->addChild(engine_group);

	engine_group->addChild(WidgetLabel::create("hierarchy_engine_label_0"));
	engine_group->addChild(WidgetLabel::create("hierarchy_engine_label_1"));

	create_engine_window();

	return 1;
}

		create_engine_window();

	Log::message("engine window deleted: %d, engine button deleted: %d, engine hbox deleted: %d, engine button remove handler: %d, engine hbox remove handler: %d\n",

	return 1;
}

event triggered when when a key (by a scan code) is pressed while a widget is in focus. Supported by the following widgets: Scan code - is a code assigned to avery key on the keyboard. Keyboard drivers use scan codes to detect which key is pressed. Scan codes are assigned to keys on the hardware level and are not affected by the states of modifiers like Caps Lock, Num Lock, Scroll Lock, Shift, Alt, and Ctrl making it possible to implement identical control on different types of keyboards (uiQWERTY, AZERTY, QWERTC, etc.). Scan codes are used when only a physical position of a key (a button) is important (e.g. in the ControlsApp class or Console key).
You can subscribe to events via connect()  and unsubscribe via disconnect(). You can also use EventConnection  and EventConnections  classes for convenience (see examples below).
Notice

The event handler signature is as follows: myhandler(const Ptr<Widget> & widget, int key)
