Detailed Description

GenericControl is a widget to display the structure of Composite objects.

It uses the datastructure QListView from the QT-libary. There are two columns. The Name column and the Type column. In the Name column the item tree will be shown and in the Type column the type of each item. There are methods available to change the structure as well as copy or paste objects into the GenericControl. Various virtual methods can be overridden to customize the behavior of these structure changing methods. To use this widget in the application just create it with MainGenericControl as parent.

virtual void BALL::VIEW::GenericControl::initializeWidget

(

MainControl &

main_control

)

[virtual]

Initialize the menu entries:

• delete.

This method is called automatically immediately before the main application is started by MainControl::show.

Parameters:

main_control

the MainControl object to be initialized with this ModularWidget

Reimplemented from BALL::VIEW::DockWidget.

Reimplemented in BALL::VIEW::DatasetControl, BALL::VIEW::GeometricControl, and BALL::VIEW::MolecularControl.

virtual void BALL::VIEW::GenericControl::onNotify

(

Message *

message

)

[virtual]

React to a DeselectControlsMessage.

If such a message is send from other GenericControls, this GenericControl deselects all its items, so that only one GenericControl has a Selection at any time. Call this Method in the derived Classes in their onNotify().

Reimplemented from BALL::VIEW::ConnectionObject.

Reimplemented in BALL::VIEW::DatasetControl, BALL::VIEW::GeometricControl, and BALL::VIEW::MolecularControl.
