X-Plane SDK Version: 2.1.1 } UNIT XPStandardWidgets; INTERFACE { XPStandardWidgets - THEORY OF OPERATION The standard widgets are widgets built into the widgets library. While you can gain access to the widget function that drives them, you generally use them by calling XPCreateWidget and then listening for special messages, etc. The standard widgets often send mesages to themselves when the user performs an event; these messages are sent up the widget hierarchy until they are handled. So you can add a widget proc directly to a push button (for example) to intercept the message when it is clicked, or you can put one widget proc on a window for all of the push buttons in the window. Most of these messages contain the original widget ID as a parameter so you can know which widget is messaging no matter who it is sent to. } USES XPWidgetDefs; {$A4} {$IFDEF MSWINDOWS} {$DEFINE DELPHI} {$ENDIF} {___________________________________________________________________________ * MAIN WINDOW ___________________________________________________________________________} { The main window widget class provides a "window" as the user knows it. These windows are dragable and can be selected. Use them to create floating windows and non-modal dialogs. } CONST xpWidgetClass_MainWindow = 1; { Main Window Type Values These type values are used to control the appearance of a main window. } { The standard main window; pin stripes on XP7, metal frame on XP 6. } xpMainWindowStyle_MainWindow = 0 ; { A translucent dark gray window, like the one ATC messages appear in. } xpMainWindowStyle_Translucent = 1 ; { Main Window Properties } { This property specifies the type of window.

The button's behavior is a separate property that dictates who it hilights and what kinds of messages it sends. Since behavior and type are different, you can do strange things like make check boxes that act as push buttons or push buttons with radio button behavior. In X-Plane 6 there were no check box graphics. The result is the following behavior: in x-plane 6 all check box and radio buttons are round (radio-button style) buttons; in X-Plane 7 they are all square (check-box style) buttons. In a future version of x-plane, the xpButtonBehavior enums will provide the correct graphic (check box or radio button) giving the expected result. } CONST xpWidgetClass_Button = 3; { Button Types These define the visual appearance of buttons but not how they respond to the mouse. } { This is a standard push button, like an "OK" or "Cancel" button in a dialog } { box. } xpPushButton = 0 ; { A check box or radio button.

The contents of the text field are its descriptor. (The descriptor changes as the user types.) The text field can have a number of types, that effect the visual layout of the text field. The text field sends messages to itself so you may control its behavior. If you need to filter keystrokes, add a new handler and intercept the key press message. Since key presses are passed by pointer, you can modify the keystroke and pass it through to the text field widget. WARNING: in x-plane before 7.10 (including 6.70) null characters could crash x-plane. To prevent this, wrap this object with a filter function (more instructions can be found on the SDK website). } CONST xpWidgetClass_TextField = 4; { Text Field Type Values These control the look of the text field. } { A field for text entry. } xpTextEntryField = 0 ; { A transparent text field.
