Detailed Description

This abstract class is the superclass for all graphical interactors.

In most applications, interactors will be added to a control strip along one of the regions of a GWindow.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ TextPosition

enum TextPosition

The places where an interactor can place its text relative to its icon.

Enumerator
TEXT_BESIDE_ICON
TEXT_UNDER_ICON
TEXT_ONLY

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ GInteractor()

GInteractor ( )

Initializes a newly created interactor.

If the Qt graphical subsystem has not yet been initialized, constructing an interactor will initialize it.

◆ ~GInteractor()

~GInteractor ( )

virtual

Frees memory allocated internally by the interactor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addActionListener()

void addActionListener ( )

virtual

Adds an event listener to be notified when this interactor is clicked or generally interacted with.

Deprecated:: does nothing; use setActionListener instead

◆ clearEventListeners()

void clearEventListeners ( )

protectedvirtualinherited

Removes all event listeners from this object.

◆ ensureThreadSafety()

void ensureThreadSafety ( string memberName = "" )

protectedvirtualinherited

Ensures that we are currently in the Qt GUI thread.

◆ eventsEnabled()

bool eventsEnabled ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns true if this interactor is currently accepting events.

Initially true. An interactor must be visible and added to an onscreen window to receive events.

Reimplemented from GObservable.

◆ fireEvent()

void fireEvent ( GEvent & event )

protectedvirtualinherited

Sends out the given event to any attached listeners.
