In the interest of making sure that everything in ui is consistent, here is a glossary of various conflicting terms and what they mean to the library. These are disjunct from the terminology used by each backend's native platform; context should be used to differentiate where appropriate.
|
||||
|
||||
CONTAINER
|
||||
a uiControl that hosts other controls, such as uiStack and uiGrid
|
||||
PARENT
|
||||
a non-uiControl that maintains a single uiControl; that uiControl can be a container, in which case the purpose of the parent is to collect the controls in that container for the purpose of the operating system as a holder
|
||||
HOLDER
|
||||
a non-uiControl that hosts an uiControl from the perspective of the operating system
|
||||
this should always be a parent
|
||||
CONTENT
|
||||
the non-uiControl that acts as a parent and a holder; this is used by uiWindow and uiTab
|
||||
Instead of a traditional glossary, let's look at things the way ui does them:
|
||||
|
||||
We have
|
||||
a uiWindow w
|
||||
which has a T t
|
||||
a uiControl c
|
||||
We call
|
||||
uiWindowSetChild(w, c)
|
||||
What happens:
|
||||
w instructs t that c should be the child it keeps track of
|
||||
t instructs c that it should add its children to the OS object h backing t
|
||||
t instructs c to lay itself out
|
||||
We now say
|
||||
c is really a uiStack
|
||||
We call
|
||||
uiStackAppend(c, d, 2)
|
||||
What happens:
|
||||
c adds d to h
|
||||
c asks t to let it lay itself out
|
||||
t tells c to lay itself out
|
||||
We call
|
||||
uiStackDelete(c, 4)
|
||||
What happens:
|
||||
c removes its fifth child from h
|
||||
c instructs t to tell it to lay itself out
|
||||
t tells c to lay itself out
|
||||
We do
|
||||
resize the window
|
||||
What happens:
|
||||
w resizes h
|
||||
the resize of h causes t to trigger a relayout of c
|
||||
We do
|
||||
uiWindowSetChild(w, e)
|
||||
What happens:
|
||||
w instructs t to stop tracking c and start tracking e
|
||||
t instructs c to remove its children from h
|
||||
t instructs e to add its children to h
|
||||
t instructs e to be laid out
|
||||
We do
|
||||
uiWindowDestroy(w)
|
||||
What happens
|
||||
w instructs t to tell e to destroy itself
|
||||
e removes its children from h and destroys them, then destroys itself
|
||||
t destroys h, then itself
|
||||
w destroys itself
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore, we need a name for T and H
|
||||
We also need a term for uiStack and uiGrid
|
||||
The above uses 'children' for their children
