Detailed Description

A class that supports programmatically created controls (that are not defined in resource files).

The controls are designed to be device and system indepentent. The window handles auto layout, and automatically handles operating system-dependent tasks like Ok/Cancel button placements and dialog margin sizes.

All layout measurements and coordinates are in points. The origin of all measurement is based on measurement from the top left corner.

The measurement between Windows and Mac should match reasonable well, but calculate with a 20% layout difference between systems.

Single-line controls, like push buttons, check boxes, edit boxes, etc are automatically resized vertically to the proper height. Only change the vertical size on multi-line controls.

A subclass, FCCustomLuaWindow is also available for Lua scripts that need event handling.

◆ MoveAllControls()

void FCCustomWindow::MoveAllControls	(	int	horizoffset,
		int	vertoffset
	)

inline

Moves all controls on the window by the specified amount.

A common use for this might be to re-position all the controls on a macOS window after resizing so that they match the position of Windows controls after resizing. This allows the caller to compensate for the difference in vertical coordinates between macOS and Windows. (Windows coordinates count down from the top, with greater values being lower. This matches nearly all human language systems. Meanwhile, macOS coordinates count up from the bottom, with greater values being higher. This corresponds to mathematical coordinate systems.) Normally the Framework takes care of this discrepancy for you, but when a window is resized it doesn't know how the caller wants to accommodate the resize. This function provides a simple fix for a common case.

The following Lua code gives an example of how to use MoveAllControls to make a window behave similarly after resizing in both macOS and Windows.

local oldpos = dlg:GetClientHeight()
dlg:SetClientWidth(newwidth)    -- whatever newwidth value you want
dlg:SetClientHeight(newheight)  -- whatever newheight value you want
local newpos = dlg:GetClientHeight()
if finenv.UI():IsOnMac() then
     -- repositions all controls on macOS to be in the same positon relative to the top of the window
     dlg:MoveAllControls(0, oldpos - newpos)
end

Lua-supported (0.63).

Parameters

horizoffset	the horizontal amount to move the controls
vertoffset	the vertical amount to move the controls

◆ OkButtonPressed()

void FCCustomWindow::OkButtonPressed ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Override method for __FCUserWindow::OkButtonPressed.

Reimplemented from __FCUserWindow.

Reimplemented in FCCustomLuaWindow.

◆ SetOkButtonCanClose()

void FCCustomWindow::SetOkButtonCanClose ( bool value )

inline

Sets the closability state of the window for the Ok button.

The OK button normally closes the window. You can prevent it from closing the window by setting this value to false.

One use might be to prevent the OK button from closing the window on a modeless dialog.

Lua-supported (also as property) (0.56).

Parameters

[in] value The value (true or false) to set it to.
