Defines | |
#define | wxDROP_ICON(name) |
This macro creates either a cursor (MSW) or an icon (elsewhere) with the given name (of type const char* ). | |
#define | wxBITMAP(bitmapName) |
This macro loads a bitmap from either application resources (on the platforms for which they exist, i.e. | |
#define | wxICON(iconName) |
This macro loads an icon from either application resources (on the platforms for which they exist, i.e. | |
Functions | |
bool | wxIsDragResultOk (wxDragResult res) |
Returns true if res indicates that something was done during a DnD operation, i.e. | |
bool | wxColourDisplay () |
Returns true if the display is colour, false otherwise. | |
int | wxDisplayDepth () |
Returns the depth of the display (a value of 1 denotes a monochrome display). | |
void | wxSetCursor (const wxCursor &cursor) |
Globally sets the cursor; only has an effect on Windows, Mac and GTK+. | |
void | wxClientDisplayRect (int *x, int *y, int *width, int *height) |
Returns the dimensions of the work area on the display. | |
wxRect | wxGetClientDisplayRect () |
wxSize | wxGetDisplayPPI () |
Returns the display resolution in pixels per inch. | |
void | wxDisplaySize (int *width, int *height) |
Returns the display size in pixels. | |
wxSize | wxGetDisplaySize () |
void | wxDisplaySizeMM (int *width, int *height) |
Returns the display size in millimeters. | |
wxSize | wxGetDisplaySizeMM () |
bool | wxMakeMetafilePlaceable (const wxString &filename, int minX, int minY, int maxX, int maxY, float scale=1.0) |
Given a filename for an existing, valid metafile (as constructed using wxMetafileDC) makes it into a placeable metafile by prepending a header containing the given bounding box. |
#define wxBITMAP | ( | bitmapName | ) |
This macro loads a bitmap from either application resources (on the platforms for which they exist, i.e.
Windows and OS2) or from an XPM file. This can help to avoid using #ifdef when creating bitmaps.
Include file:
#include <wx/gdicmn.h>
#define wxDROP_ICON | ( | name | ) |
This macro creates either a cursor (MSW) or an icon (elsewhere) with the given name (of type const char*
).
Under MSW, the cursor is loaded from the resource file and the icon is loaded from XPM file under other platforms.
This macro should be used with wxDropSource::wxDropSource().
Include file:
#include <wx/dnd.h>
#define wxICON | ( | iconName | ) |
This macro loads an icon from either application resources (on the platforms for which they exist, i.e.
Windows and OS2) or from an XPM file. This can help to avoid using #ifdef when creating icons.
Include file:
#include <wx/gdicmn.h>
void wxClientDisplayRect | ( | int * | x, |
int * | y, | ||
int * | width, | ||
int * | height | ||
) |
Returns the dimensions of the work area on the display.
On Windows this means the area not covered by the taskbar, etc. Other platforms are currently defaulting to the whole display until a way is found to provide this info for all window managers, etc.
Include file:
#include <wx/gdicmn.h>
bool wxColourDisplay | ( | ) |
int wxDisplayDepth | ( | ) |
Returns the depth of the display (a value of 1 denotes a monochrome display).
Include file:
#include <wx/gdicmn.h>
void wxDisplaySize | ( | int * | width, |
int * | height | ||
) |
Returns the display size in pixels.
For the version taking width and header arguments, either of them can be NULL if the caller is not interested in the returned value.
Include file:
#include <wx/gdicmn.h>
void wxDisplaySizeMM | ( | int * | width, |
int * | height | ||
) |
Returns the display size in millimeters.
For the version taking width and header arguments, either of them can be NULL if the caller is not interested in the returned value.
Include file:
#include <wx/gdicmn.h>
wxRect wxGetClientDisplayRect | ( | ) |
wxSize wxGetDisplayPPI | ( | ) |
wxSize wxGetDisplaySize | ( | ) |
wxSize wxGetDisplaySizeMM | ( | ) |
bool wxIsDragResultOk | ( | wxDragResult | res | ) |
Returns true if res indicates that something was done during a DnD operation, i.e.
is neither error nor none nor cancel.
bool wxMakeMetafilePlaceable | ( | const wxString & | filename, |
int | minX, | ||
int | minY, | ||
int | maxX, | ||
int | maxY, | ||
float | scale = 1.0 |
||
) |
Given a filename for an existing, valid metafile (as constructed using wxMetafileDC) makes it into a placeable metafile by prepending a header containing the given bounding box.
The bounding box may be obtained from a device context after drawing into it, using the functions wxDC::MinX(), wxDC::MinY(), wxDC::MaxX() and wxDC::MaxY().
In addition to adding the placeable metafile header, this function adds the equivalent of the following code to the start of the metafile data:
SetMapMode(dc, MM_ANISOTROPIC); SetWindowOrg(dc, minX, minY); SetWindowExt(dc, maxX - minX, maxY - minY);
This simulates the wxMM_TEXT mapping mode, which wxWidgets assumes.
Placeable metafiles may be imported by many Windows applications, and can be used in RTF (Rich Text Format) files.
scale allows the specification of scale for the metafile.
This function is only available under Windows.
Include file:
#include <wx/metafile.h>
