27 wxDynamicSashWindow widgets manages the way other widgets are viewed.
28 When a wxDynamicSashWindow is first shown, it will contain one child
29 view, a viewport for that child, and a pair of scrollbars to allow the
30 user to navigate the child view area. Next to each scrollbar is a small
31 tab. By clicking on either tab and dragging to the appropriate spot, a
32 user can split the view area into two smaller views separated by a
33 draggable sash. Later, when the user wishes to reunify the two subviews,
34 the user simply drags the sash to the side of the window.
35 wxDynamicSashWindow will automatically reparent the appropriate child
36 view back up the window hierarchy, and the wxDynamicSashWindow will have
37 only one child view once again.
39 As an application developer, you will simply create a wxDynamicSashWindow
40 using either the Create() function or the more complex constructor
41 provided below, and then create a view window whose parent is the
42 wxDynamicSashWindow. The child should respond to
43 wxDynamicSashSplitEvents -- perhaps with an OnSplit() event handler -- by
44 constructing a new view window whose parent is also the
45 wxDynamicSashWindow. That's it! Now your users can dynamically split
46 and reunify the view you provided.
48 If you wish to handle the scrollbar events for your view, rather than
49 allowing wxDynamicSashWindow to do it for you, things are a bit more
50 complex. (You might want to handle scrollbar events yourself, if,
51 for instance, you wish to scroll a subwindow of the view you add to
52 your wxDynamicSashWindow object, rather than scrolling the whole view.)
53 In this case, you will need to construct your wxDynamicSashWindow without
54 the wxDS_MANAGE_SCROLLBARS style and you will need to use the
55 GetHScrollBar() and GetVScrollBar() methods to retrieve the scrollbar
56 controls and call SetEventHanler() on them to redirect the scrolling
57 events whenever your window is reparented by wxDyanmicSashWindow.
58 You will need to set the scrollbars' event handler at three times:
60 * When your view is created
61 * When your view receives a wxDynamicSashSplitEvent
62 * When your view receives a wxDynamicSashUnifyEvent
64 See the dynsash_switch sample application for an example which does this.

79 wxDS_MANAGE_SCROLLBARS is a default style of wxDynamicSashWindow which
80 will cause it to respond to scrollbar events for your application by
81 automatically scrolling the child view.
83 #define wxDS_MANAGE_SCROLLBARS 0x0010
87 wxDS_DRAG_CORNER style indicates that the views can also be resized by
88 dragging the corner piece between the scrollbars, and which is reflected up
89 to the frame if necessary.
91 #define wxDS_DRAG_CORNER 0x0020
94 Default style for wxDynamicSashWindow.

115 wxDynamicSashSplitEvents are sent to your view by wxDynamicSashWindow
116 whenever your view is being split by the user. It is your
117 responsibility to handle this event by creating a new view window as
118 a child of the wxDynamicSashWindow. wxDynamicSashWindow will
119 automatically reparent it to the proper place in its window hierarchy.

136 wxDynamicSashUnifyEvents are sent to your view by wxDynamicSashWindow
137 whenever the sash which splits your view and its sibling is being
138 reunified such that your view is expanding to replace its sibling.
139 You needn't do anything with this event if you are allowing
140 wxDynamicSashWindow to manage your view's scrollbars, but it is useful
141 if you are managing the scrollbars yourself so that you can keep
142 the scrollbars' event handlers connected to your view's event handler
