The client programmer only care about 4 classes in DOCKING LIBRARY.

  • SD_DOCKING_MANAGER
 This is the class which control the whole SMART DOCKING library.
 Client programmer should use it like this:
   manager: SD_DOCKING_MANAGER
   create manager.make (a_container_for_docking_manager)
   manager.add (a_content(see following))

  • SD_CONTENT
 This is the class which have the informations of client programmer want to put in the docking library.
 Client programmer should use it like this:
   content: SD_CONTENT
   create content.make_with_widget (create {USER_CONTENT})
   manager.contents.extend (content)
   -- You should call the following feature, otherwise the content will not visible.
   content.set_top ({SD_ENUMERATION}.top)

  • SD_ICONS_SINGLETON
 This is the class which provide docking library pixmaps for icons or dragging feedback.
 Client programmer should inherit this class, to implement several once functions which provide EV_PIXMAPs
 like this:
   arrow_indicator_up: EV_PIXMAP is
     once
       create Result.default_create
       Result.set_with_named_file (".\arrow.png")
     end
   arrow_indicator_left: EV_PIXMAP is
     once
       create Result.default_create
       Result.set_with_named_file (".\arrow_left.png")
     end
   arrow_indicator_center: EV_PIXMAP is
     once
       create Result.default_create
       Result.set_with_named_file (".\arrow_center.png")
     end
   ....
 And you should call 'init' feature in SD_ICONS_SINGLETON.

  • SD_ENUMERATION
  This class only contain enumerations of Smart Docking library, such as direciton eumeration, SD_CONTENT type enumeration.
