Detailed Description

The View object represents an instance of a view in Softimage.

Views are accessible from Layout::GetViews or View::GetViews if the view is a relational view. View objects are created with Layout::CreateView.

With view objects, you can:

Since:
4.0
Example:
This example restores and cascades all floating views except the script editor. 
        Application app;

        // Creates some sample views
        Layout layout = app.GetDesktop().GetActiveLayout();

        View v;
        layout.CreateView( L"Explorer", L"My Explorer", v );
        layout.CreateView( L"Browser", L"My Browser", v );
        layout.CreateView( L"NetView", L"My NetView", v );

        // position for the first view to cascade
        LONG px = 50;
        LONG py = 20;

        // delta between each view
        LONG dx = 20;
        LONG dy = 20;

        CRefArray views = layout.GetViews();
        for ( LONG i=0; i<views.GetCount() ; i++)
        {
            View vw = views[i];
            if( vw.GetFloating() && vw.GetName() != L"script_editor" )
            {
                vw.Move( px, py );
                px += dx;
                py += dy;
                vw.PutState( siNormal ); // put view at the top so far
            }
        }

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

View (  ) 

Default constructor.

~View (  ) 

Default destructor.

View ( const CRef &  in_ref  )

Member Function Documentation

bool IsA ( siClassID  in_ClassID  )  const [virtual]

Returns true if a given class type is compatible with this API class.

Parameters:
in_ClassID  class type.
Returns:
true if the class is compatible, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from UIPersistable.

siClassID GetClassID (  )  const [virtual]

Returns the type of the API class.

Returns:
The class type.

Reimplemented from UIPersistable.

View& operator= ( const View &  in_obj  ) 

Creates an object from another object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input object is not compatible.

Parameters:
in_obj  constant class object.
Returns:
The new View object.

View& operator= ( const CRef &  in_ref  ) 

Creates an object from a reference object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input reference object is not compatible.

Parameters:
in_ref  constant class object.
Returns:
The new View object.

Reimplemented from UIPersistable.

CRefArray GetViews (  )  const

Returns an array of View objects defined for this View. A View can have sub views if it was defined as a relational view.

Returns:
Array of View objects.

siViewState GetState (  )  const

Returns the state of a view. View states are mutually exclusive.

Returns:
The View state value.

CStatus PutState ( siViewState  in_lState  ) 

Sets the state of a view. View states are mutually exclusive.

Parameters:
in_lState  View state value.
Returns:
CStatus::OK success

CStatus::Fail failure

bool GetVisible (  )  const

Returns true if the view is visible or false otherwise.

Returns:
true if the view is visible; false otherwise.

CStatus PutVisible ( bool  in_bFlag  ) 

Make the view visible if the flag is true or hidden otherwise.

Parameters:
in_bFlag  Visible flag.
Returns:
CStatus::OK success

CStatus::Fail failure

bool GetFloating (  )  const

Returns true if the view is floating or false if the view is embedded inside another one.

Returns:
true if the view is floating; false if embedded inside another one.

CValue GetAttributeValue ( const CString &  in_strParamName  )  const

Returns a view specific attribute value.

Parameters:
in_strParamName  Name of the attribute.
Returns:
The Attribute value.

CStatus PutAttributeValue ( const CString &  in_strParamName,
const CValue &  in_value  
)

Sets a view specific attribute value.

Parameters:
in_strParamName  Name of the attribute.
in_value  The new attribute value.
Returns:
CStatus::OK success

CStatus::Fail failure

CStatus BeginEdit (  ) 

Puts the view in edit mode. The edit mode allows you to change several view attributes in bulk without affecting the current UI. Call the View::EndEdit method to quit the edit mode.

Returns:
CStatus::OK success

CStatus::Fail failure

CStatus EndEdit (  ) 

Requests an end to an edit operation on this View. This function updates the view with the attribute changes performed so far. This has no effect if the view is not in edit mode.

Returns:
CStatus::OK success

CStatus::Fail failure

CStatus Move ( LONG  in_x,
LONG  in_y  
)

Moves a view to the specified global screen coordinate.

Parameters:
in_x  Position in X.
in_y  Position in Y.
Returns:
CStatus::OK success

CStatus::Fail failure

CStatus Resize ( LONG  in_w,
LONG  in_h  
)

Changes the size of a view.

Parameters:
in_w  New width.
in_h  New height
Returns:
CStatus::OK success

CStatus::Fail failure
