- There is a simple docking project example, is in the SVN:
https://eiffelsoftware.origo.ethz.ch/svn/es/trunk/Src/examples/docking
If you have checked out SVN codes, it's in your SVN_ROOT/examples/docking folder. After complied, it should looks like figure 1.
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, a_window_for_docking_manager)
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 (create {USER_CONTENT}, "A_unique_title") content.set_short_title ("A short title") content.set_long_title ("A long title") manager.contents.extend (content) -- You should call the following feature, otherwise the content will not visible. content.set_top ({SD_ENUMERATION}.top)
For more information about SD_CONTENT, see How to use smart docking sd content
- SD_ICONS_SINGLETON (deferred)
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, normally you can call it in the creation method of the SD_ICONS_SINGLETON implementation class.
- SD_ENUMERATION
This class only contain enumerations of Smart Docking library, such as direciton eumeration, SD_CONTENT type enumeration.
For more informations about SD_ENUMERATION, see How to use smart docking sd enumeration
