22 wxDynamicSashWindow widgets manages the way other widgets are viewed.
23 When a wxDynamicSashWindow is first shown, it will contain one child
24 view, a viewport for that child, and a pair of scrollbars to allow the
25 user to navigate the child view area. Next to each scrollbar is a small
26 tab. By clicking on either tab and dragging to the appropriate spot, a
27 user can split the view area into two smaller views separated by a
28 draggable sash. Later, when the user wishes to reunify the two subviews,
29 the user simply drags the sash to the side of the window.
30 wxDynamicSashWindow will automatically reparent the appropriate child
31 view back up the window hierarchy, and the wxDynamicSashWindow will have
32 only one child view once again.
34 As an application developer, you will simply create a wxDynamicSashWindow
35 using either the Create() function or the more complex constructor
36 provided below, and then create a view window whose parent is the
37 wxDynamicSashWindow. The child should respond to
38 wxDynamicSashSplitEvents -- perhaps with an OnSplit() event handler -- by
39 constructing a new view window whose parent is also the
40 wxDynamicSashWindow. That's it! Now your users can dynamically split
41 and reunify the view you provided.
43 If you wish to handle the scrollbar events for your view, rather than
44 allowing wxDynamicSashWindow to do it for you, things are a bit more
45 complex. (You might want to handle scrollbar events yourself, if,
46 for instance, you wish to scroll a subwindow of the view you add to
47 your wxDynamicSashWindow object, rather than scrolling the whole view.)
48 In this case, you will need to construct your wxDynamicSashWindow without
49 the wxDS_MANAGE_SCROLLBARS style and you will need to use the
50 GetHScrollBar() and GetVScrollBar() methods to retrieve the scrollbar
51 controls and call SetEventHanler() on them to redirect the scrolling
52 events whenever your window is reparented by wxDyanmicSashWindow.
53 You will need to set the scrollbars' event handler at three times:
55 * When your view is created
56 * When your view receives a wxDynamicSashSplitEvent
57 * When your view receives a wxDynamicSashUnifyEvent
59 See the dynsash_switch sample application for an example which does this.
65 #include <wx/window.h>
69 #define wxEVT_DYNAMIC_SASH_BASE (((int)('d' - 'a') << 11) | ((int)('s' - 'a') << 6) | ((int)('h' - 'a') << 1))
70 #define wxEVT_DYNAMIC_SASH_SPLIT (wxEVT_DYNAMIC_SASH_BASE + 1)
71 #define wxEVT_DYNAMIC_SASH_UNIFY (wxEVT_DYNAMIC_SASH_BASE + 2)
73 #define EVT_DYNAMIC_SASH_SPLIT(id, func) EVT_CUSTOM(wxEVT_DYNAMIC_SASH_SPLIT, (id), (func))
74 #define EVT_DYNAMIC_SASH_UNIFY(id, func) EVT_CUSTOM(wxEVT_DYNAMIC_SASH_UNIFY, (id), (func))
78 wxDS_MANAGE_SCROLLBARS is a default style of wxDynamicSashWindow which
79 will cause it to respond to scrollbar events for your application by
80 automatically scrolling the child view.
82 #define wxDS_MANAGE_SCROLLBARS 0x0010
86 wxDS_DRAG_CORNER style indicates that the views can also be resized by
87 dragging the corner piece between the scrollbars, and which is reflected up
88 to the frame if necessary.
90 #define wxDS_DRAG_CORNER 0x0020
94 wxDynamicSashSplitEvents are sent to your view by wxDynamicSashWindow
95 whenever your view is being split by the user. It is your
96 responsibility to handle this event by creating a new view window as
97 a child of the wxDynamicSashWindow. wxDynamicSashWindow will
98 automatically reparent it to the proper place in its window hierarchy.

113 wxDynamicSashUnifyEvents are sent to your view by wxDynamicSashWindow
114 whenever the sash which splits your view and its sibling is being
115 reunified such that your view is expanding to replace its sibling.
116 You needn't do anything with this event if you are allowing
117 wxDynamicSashWindow to manage your view's scrollbars, but it is useful
118 if you are managing the scrollbars yourself so that you can keep
119 the scrollbars' event handlers connected to your view's event handler
