Layout API

Bits and Pieces: The Small BCardLayout

Blog post by Sil2100 on Sat, 2012-01-21 20:14

A short post about something that's not really documented. When working on a communication application for Haiku, I needed to create a typical configuration wizard window. I required a few views to be present in one spot, with only one being shown at the same time - with the ability to switch between them on user Next/Prev button press. Since Haiku exports a neat layout API, I wanted to use one of those if only possible. And then I found the BCardLayout.

Layout API

It's been a long time coming, and they're still not done, but I've committed some initial documentation for the Layout API. For the curious, you can access the documented classes here, there is also an introduction to building a GUI with the Layout API here. If you happen to find a typo, or inaccurate info, please contact me so I can fix it. Finally, note that, like the documentation, the Layout API is not yet finalized.
