A window is the most basic GWIN element. All the other elements (widget, container) are based on this one. A window consists the following attributes:
- Position
- Size
- Foreground color
- Background color
- Font
Therefore, a window is a completely passive element. It does not accept any kind of input.
API reference
The generic window API reference can be found here.
Window creation
Each window provides a creation call with is named gwinXxxCreate()
where Xxx is the name of the window. The first parameter is either a pointer to a static window object or NULL. If NULL, the object will be allocated dynamically from the heap.
The second parameter is a pointer to a GWindowInit
struct. This struct contains all the attributes which are needed to create the window (position, size, ...):
typedef struct GWindowInit { coord_t x, y; // The initial position relative to its parent coord_t width, height; // The initial dimension bool_t show; // Should the window be visible initially #if GWIN_NEED_CONTAINERS GHandle parent; // The parent - must be a container or NULL #endif } GWindowInit;
Examples on how to use this struct correctly can be found on each window documentation page.
gwinDestroy()
can be used to destroy a window that is no longer needed.
Implemented Windows
These are the currently implemented windows:
