Detailed Description

A view that allows the user drag and drop a target view.

The target view must be its immediate relative–a sibling, a parent, or single child. The target BView must be able to be archived.

The dragger draws a handle on top of the target view, usually in the bottom left the corner that the user can grab. When the user drags the handle the target view appears to move with the handle.

However the target view doesn't actually move, instead, the view is archived into a BMessage object and the BMessage object is dragged. When the BMessage is dropped, the target BView is reconstructed from the archive (along with the BDragger). The new object is a a replicant of the target view.

An example of a dragger handle on the Clock app can be seen below.

This class is tied closely to BShelf. A BShelf object accepts dragged BViews, reconstructs them from their archives and adds them to the view hierarchy of another view.

The Show Replicants/Hide Replicants menu item in Deskbar shows and hides the BDragger handles.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ BDragger() [1/2]

BDragger::BDragger ( BRect  frame,
BView target,
uint32  resizingMode = B_FOLLOW_NONE,
uint32  flags = B_WILL_DRAW 
)

Creates a new BDragger and sets its target view.

The target view must be its immediate relative–a sibling, a parent, or single child, however, the constructor does not establish this relationship for you.

Once you construct the BDragger you must do one of of these:

  • Add the target as a child of the dragger.
  • Add the dragger as a child of the target.
  • Add the dragger as a sibling of the target.

If you add the target as a child of the dragger it should be its only child.

A BDragger draws in the right bottom corner of its frame rectangle. If the target view is a parent or a sibling of the dragger then the frame rectangle needs to be no larger than the handle. However, if the target is a child of the dragger then the dragger's frame rectangle must enclose the target's frame so that the dragger doesn't clip the target.

Parameters
frameThe frame rectangle that the dragger is draw into.
targetThe view to set the dragger to.
resizingModeSets the parameters by which the dragger can be resized. See BView for more information on resizing options.
flagsThe flags mask sets what notifications the BDragger can receive. See BView for more information on flags.

Since
BeOS R3

◆ MakeFocus()

virtual void BDragger::MakeFocus ( bool  focus = true)
virtual

Makes the view the current focus view of the window or gives up being the window's focus view.

The focus view handles selections and KeyDown events when the the attached window is active. There can be only one focus view at a time per window.

When called with focus set to true this method first calls MakeFocus() on the previously focused view with focus set to false.

The focus doesn't automatically change when MouseDown() is called so calling MakeFocus() is the only way to make a view the focus view of a window. Classes derived from BView that can display the current selection, or that can accept pasted data should call MakeFocus() in their MouseDown() method to update the focus view of the window on click.

If the view isn't attached to a window this method has no effect.

Parameters
focustrue to set focus, false to remove it.
Since
BeOS R3

codeOne of the following:
  • B_ENTERED_VIEW The cursor has just entered the view.
  • B_INSIDE_VIEW The cursor is inside the view.
  • B_EXITED_VIEW The cursor has left the view's bounds. This only gets sent if the scope of the mouse events that the view can receive has been expanded by SetEventMask() or SetMouseEventMask().
  • B_OUTSIDE_VIEW The cursor is outside the view. This only gets sent if the scope of the mouse events that the view can receive has been expanded by SetEventMask() or SetMouseEventMask().
