49
50/// Used by the TLayoutConstraint struct, TMeasurementUnits enumerates the

53/// the font height into eight vertical and eight horizontal segments.
54//
55/// \note To set the font, to which lmLayoutUnits are relative, you should call SetWindowFont.
56/// Otherwise, TLayoutWindow will use the obsolete SYSTEM_FONT to calculate the units.

59
60/// Used by the TLayoutConstraint struct, TRelationship specifies the relationship
61/// between the edges and sizes of one window and the edges and sizes of another
62/// window (which can be a parent or sibling). These relationships can be specified
63/// as either the same value as the sibling or parent window (lmAsIs), an absolute
64/// value (lmAbsolute), a percent of one of the windows (lmPercentOf), a value that
65/// is either added above (lmAbove) or left (lmLeftOf) of one of the windows, or a
66/// value that is subtracted from below (lmBelow) or right (lmRightOf) of one of the
67/// windows.

78/// \struct TLayoutConstraint
79// ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
80/// TLayoutConstraint is a structure that defines a relationship (a layout
81/// constraint) between an edge or size of one window and an edge or size of one of
82/// the window's siblings or its parent. If a parent-child relationship is
83/// established between windows, the dimensions of the child windows are dependent
84/// on the parent window. A window can have one of its sizes depend on the size of
85/// the opposite dimension.
86///
87/// For example, the width can be twice the height. TLayoutMetrics lists the
88/// relationships you can have among size and edge constraints
89///
90/// The following window is displayed by the sample program LAYOUT.CPP, which
91/// demonstrates layout constraints:
92/// \image html bm210.BMP
93///
94/// Layout constraints are specified as a relationship between an edge/size
95/// of one window and an edge/size of one of the window's siblings or parent
96///
97/// It is acceptable for a window to have one of its sizes depend on the
98/// size of the opposite dimension (e.g. width is twice height)
99///
100/// Distances can be specified in either pixels or layout units
101///
102/// A layout unit is defined by dividing the font "em" quad into 8 vertical
103/// and 8 horizontal segments. we get the font by self-sending WM_GETFONT
104/// (we use the system font if WM_GETFONT returns 0)
105///
106/// "lmAbove", "lmBelow", "lmLeftOf", and "lmRightOf" are only used with edge
107/// constraints. They place the window 1 pixel to the indicated side (i.e.
108/// adjacent to the other window) and then adjust it by "Margin" (e.g. above
109/// window "A" by 6)
110///
111/// \note "Margin" is either added to ("lmAbove" and "lmLeftOf") or subtracted
112/// from("lmBelow" and "lmRightOf") depending on the relationship
113///
114/// "lmSameAs" can be used with either edges or sizes, and it doesn't offset
115/// by 1 pixel like the above four relationships did. it also uses "Value"
116/// (e.g. same width as window "A" plus 10)
117///
118/// \note "Value" is always *added*. use a negative number if you want the
119/// effect to be subtractive
120//
122/// RelWin is a pointer to the sibling windows or lmParent if the child is a
123/// proportion of the parent's dimensions. RelWin points to the window itself (this)
124/// if a child window's dimension is a proportion of one of its other dimensions
125/// (for example, its height is a proportion of its width).
126 TWindow* RelWin; // relative window, lmParent for parent
127
128/// MyEdge contains the name of the edge or size constraint (lmTop, lmBottom,
129/// lmLeft, lmRight, lmCenter, lmWidth, or lmHeight) for your window.
130 uint MyEdge : 4; // edge or size (width/height)
131
132/// Relationship specifies the type of relationship that exists between the two
133/// windows (that is, lmRightOf, lmLeftOf, lmAbove, lmBelow, lmSameAs, or
134/// lmPercentOf). A value of lmAbsolute actually indicates that no relationship
135/// exists.
137
138/// Units enumerates the units of measurement (either pixels or layout units) used
139/// to measure the height and width of the windows. Unlike pixels, layout units are
140/// based on system font size and will be consistent in their perceived size even if
141/// the screen resolution changes.
143
144/// OtherEdge contains the name of the edge or size constraint (lmTop, lmBottom,
145/// lmLeft, lmRight, lmCenter, lmWidth, or lmHeight) for the other window.
146 uint OtherEdge : 4; // edge or size (width/height)
147
148/// This union is included for the convenience of naming the layout constraints.
149/// Margin is used for the ImAbove, ImLeftOf, ImLeftOf, or ImRightOf enumerated
150/// values in TRelationship. Value is used for the ImSameAs or ImAbsolute enumerated
151/// values in TRelationship. Percent is used for the ImPercentOf enumerated value in
152/// TRelationship.
153 union {
154 int Margin; ///< used for "lmAbove", "lmBelow", "lmLeftOf", "lmRightOf"
155 int Value; ///< used for "lmSameAs" and "lmAbsolute"
156 int Percent; ///< used for "lmPercentOf"
157 };
158};
159
160//
161/// \struct TEdgeConstraint
162// ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
163/// TEdgeConstraint adds member functions that set edge (but not size) constraints.
164/// TEdgeConstraint always places your window one pixel above the other window and
165/// then adds margins.
166///
167/// For example, if the margin is 4, TEdgeConstraint places your window 5 pixels
168/// above the other window. The margin, which does not need to be measured in
169/// pixels, is defined using the units specified by the constraint. Therefore, if
170/// the margin is specified as 8 layout units (which are then converted to 12
171/// pixels), your window would be placed 13 pixels above the other window.
172//
174
175 /// For setting arbitrary edge constraints. use it like this:
176 /// \code
177 /// metrics->X.Set(lmLeft, lmRightOf, lmParent, lmLeft, 10);
178 /// \endcode
180 TEdge otherEdge, int value = 0);
181
182 // These four member functions can be used to position your window with
183 // respective to a sibling window. you specify the sibling window and an
184 // optional margin between the two windows

187 void RightOf(TWindow* sibling, int margin = 0);
188 void Above(TWindow* sibling, int margin = 0);
189 void Below(TWindow* sibling, int margin = 0);
190
191 // These two work on the same edge, e.g. "SameAs(win, lmLeft)" means
192 // that your left edge should be the same as the left edge of "otherWin"
