Frame

The frame widget is based on the container. It behaves like a window similar to the ones you know from your computer. It has a border, a window title and an optional button to close it.

Window title

The frames window title can either be set using the wi.g.text parameter of the initialization struct or the gwinSetText() API call.

Buttons

The frame widget can optionally implement a close button. It shows up as an 'x' in the top right hand corner. If the button is pressed, gwinDestroy() is automatically called on the frame widget. Therefore, the entire widget including all its children will be destroyed.

The close button can be enabled by passing GWIN_FRAME_CLOSE_BTN as a flag to the gwinFrameCreate() routine.

Overlay

If you want to use the frame widget as some kind of message box, then you have to note the following: The window manager of uGFX does currently not handle transparent inputs. This means that widgets that are "below" the frame are still being triggered when the area "above" them is being touched. To workaround this issue, a root container can be created that fills the entire screen size. Every widget and container will be added as a child to this root container. Hide the root container before the frame widgets shows up using gwinHide() and make it visible again using gwinShow() once the frame has been closed.

Example

The following example shows how to create and use the frame widget. Several other widgets are added to the frame in order to create some kind of color picker dialog.
