| ~CMDIClientView | |
Destructor |
A CMDIClientView contains all MDI views of an application. The MDI views and their title tabs are children of this view. Because this class is derived from CZOrderedViewManager it ensures that the clippling of its child views is correct.
A CMDIClientView normally is a direct child of a BScrollView scroll view. The MDI client view automatically hides the scrollbars, if they aren't needed. If the client view isnt' targeted by a scroll view, the user can still move the MDI views outside the visible area. Therefore you should either use the scrolling or implement your own way to get those views back.
MDI views can be minimized by a double-click on their title tab or by calling MinimizeView. Minimized views are simply hidden. In order to allow the user to get them back you must add a CMDIViewMenu sub-menu to your menu bar.
MDI views can also be maximized. If a MDI view is maximized the first child (ChildAt(0)) of the MDI view replaces the MDI client view in the view hierarchy. To restore the maximized view to its orginal size and position a button is displayed right of the key menubar of the parent window.
Like any CZOrderedView a MDI view maintains a double linked list to the views above and beneath itself. It also depends on the CZOrderedViewManager to update its clipping if needed. Therefore you shouldn't call any methods which change the position or size (like BView::MoveTo or BView::ResizeTo) directly. Instead use the methods of this class to modify the size or position of a MDI view.
A normal MDI view has a title tab, with allows the user to move the view around, maximize, minimize and close it. That title view is created, when the MDI view is added via the AddMDIView method. Don't use AddChild directly. All views added via AddMDIView must be derived from CMDIView.
When a CMDIClientView is attached to a window, it attaches a message filter to it. That is necessary, because BeOS doesn't know anything about the z-order of the views and directs the messages to the first view it finds that contains the mouse. The message filter redirects the message to the correct view.
