ModalWindow

Container for displaying a modal window and hijacking touch event and prevent them from reaching the underlying view and widgets. The container has a background image and a surrounding box that acts as a shade on top of the rest of the screen. The background image must be set (using setBackground()) and the shade can be adjusted (using setShadeAlpha() and setShadeColor()).

The ModalWindow can either be used directly by adding widgets/containers to the ModalWindow from your view or by sub-classing it if you need a specific ModalWindow with predefined behavior across your application.

The ModalWindow should be instantiated in the view class and added as the last element (to always be on top, i.e. be modal). The ModalWindow will fill up the entire screen so it should always be placed at x=0, y=0 on the display.

To control the visibility of the ModalWindow use the show and hide methods.

Public Functions Documentation

add

virtual void add(Drawable &d)

Adds a Drawable instance as child to this Container.

The Drawable added will be placed as the element to be drawn last, and thus appear on top of all previously added drawables in the Container.

Parameters:
dThe Drawable to add.
Note

Never add a drawable more than once!

Reimplements: touchgfx::Container::add

getBackgroundHeight

virtual uint16_t getBackgroundHeight()const

Gets the height of the actual window (the background images).

Whereas the getHeight() method will return the height including the shade.

Returns:

The height of the actual window.

getBackgroundWidth

virtual uint16_t getBackgroundWidth()const

Gets the width of the actual window (the background images).

Whereas the getWidth() method will return the width including the shade.

Returns:

The width of the actual window.

getShadeAlpha

virtual uint8_t getShadeAlpha()const

Gets the alpha value of the background shade.

Returns:

The background shades alpha.

getShadeColor

virtual colortype getShadeColor()const

Gets the color of the background shade.

Returns:

The color of the background shade.

hide

virtual void hide()

Make the ModalWindow invisible.

remove

virtual void remove(Drawable &d)

Removes a Drawable from the container by removing it from the linked list of children.

If the Drawable is not in the list of children, nothing happens. It is possible to remove an element from whichever Container it is a member of using:

if (d.getParent()) d.getParent()->remove(d);

The Drawable will have the parent and next sibling cleared, but is otherwise left unaltered.

Parameters:
dThe Drawable to remove.
Note

This is safe to call even if d is not a child of this Container (in which case nothing happens).

Reimplements: touchgfx::Container::remove
