Detailed Description

Base class for event handling.

A dispatcher has slots for events, when an event arrives it looks for the functions that registered themselves for that event and calls their callbacks.

This class is a base class for all widgets[1], what a widget does on a callback can differ greatly, an image might ignore all events a window can track the mouse location and fire MOUSE_ENTER and MOUSE_LEAVE events to the widgets involved.

[1] Not really sure whether it will be a base class for a widget or styled_widget yet.

◆ mouse_behavior

The behavior of the mouse events.

Normally for mouse events there's first checked whether a dispatcher has captured the mouse if so it gets the event. If not the dispatcher is searched from the back to the front in the layers and its behavior is checked.

  • none The event is never send to the layer and goes on the the next layer. This is used for tooltips who might cover a button but a click on the tooltips should still click the button.
  • all The event is always send to this layer and stops the search for a next layer.
  • hit If the mouse is inside the dispatcher area the event is send and no longer searched further. If not inside tests the last layer.

If after these tests no dispatcher is found the event is ignored.

◆ queue_position

The position where to add a new callback in the signal handler.

The signal handler has three callback queues:

  • pre_child These callbacks are called before a container widget sends it to the child items. Widgets without children should also use this queue.
  • child The callbacks for the proper child widget(s) are called.
  • post_child The callbacks for the parent container to be called after the child.

For every queue it's possible to add a new event in the front or in the back.

Whether all three queues are executed depend on the whether the callbacks modify the handled and halt flag.

  • When the halt flag is set execution of the current queue stops, when doing so the handled flag must be set as well.
  • When the handled flag is set the events in that queue are executed and no more queues afterwards.

Here are some use case examples. A button that plays a sound and executes an optional user callback:

  • The buttons internal click handler is invoked and sets the handled flag
  • The callback installed by the user is in the same queue and gets executed afterwards.

A toggle button may or may not be toggled:

  • The user inserts a callback, that validates whether the action is allowed, if not allowed it sets the halt flag (and handled), else leaves the flags untouched.
  • The normal buttons toggle function then might get invoked and if so sets the handled flag.
  • Optionally there is another user callback invoked at this point.

Member Function Documentation

◆ capture_mouse()

void gui2::event::dispatcher::capture_mouse ( )
inline

Captures the mouse.

Definition at line 399 of file dispatcher.hpp.

References gui2::event::capture_mouse().

◆ connect()

void gui2::event::dispatcher::connect ( )

Connects the dispatcher to the event handler.

When a dispatcher is connected to the event handler it will get the events directly from the event handler. This is wanted for top level items like windows but not for most other widgets.

So a window can call connect to register itself, it will automatically disconnect upon destruction.

Removes a callback from the appropriate queue based on event type.

Template Parameters
EThe event the callback needs to react to.
FThe event signature. This must match the appropriate queue's callback signature.

bool gui2::event::dispatcher::want_keyboard_input_

Does the dispatcher want to receive keyboard input.

Todo:
The entire mouse and keyboard handling can use a code review to seen whether it might be combined in one flag field. At the moment the keyboard doesn't look whether a dialog has the mouse focus before sending the event, so maybe we should add an active dispatcher to keep track of it. But since at the moment there are only non-modal windows and tooltips it's not a problem.
