Detailed Description

Class that manages WindowFactory objects.

Todo:: I think we could clean up the mapping stuff a bit. Possibly make it more generic now with the window renderers and all.

Member Function Documentation

void CEGUI::WindowFactoryManager::addFactory ( WindowFactory * factory )

Adds a new WindowFactory to the list of registered factories.

Parameters

factory Pointer to the WindowFactory to be added to the WindowManager.

Returns: Nothing

Exceptions

NullObjectException	factory was null.
AlreadyExistsException	factory provided a Window type name which is in use by another registered WindowFactory.

References CEGUI::WindowFactory::getTypeName().

void CEGUI::WindowFactoryManager::addFalagardWindowMapping	(	const String &	newType,
		const String &	targetType,
		const String &	lookName,
		const String &	renderer
	)

Add a mapping for a falagard based window.

This function creates maps a target window type and target 'look' name onto a registered window type, thus allowing
the ususal window creation interface to be used to create windows that require extra information to full initialise
themselves.

Note: These mappings support 'late binding' to the target window type, as such the type indicated by targetType need not exist in the system until attempting to create a Window using the type.

: Also note that creating a mapping for an existing type will replace any previous mapping for that same type.

Parameters

newType	The type name that will be used to create windows using the target type and look.
targetType	The base window type.
lookName	The name of the 'look' that will be used by windows of this type.
renderer	The type of window renderer to assign for windows of this type.

Returns: Nothing.

void CEGUI::WindowFactoryManager::addWindowTypeAlias	(	const String &	aliasName,
		const String &	targetType
	)

Adds an alias for a current window type.

    This method allows you to create an alias for a specified window type.  This means that you can then use
    either name as the type parameter when creating a window.

Note: You need to be careful using this system. Creating an alias using a name that already exists will replace the previous mapping for that alias. Each alias name maintains a stack, which means that it is possible to remove an alias and have the previous alias restored. The windows created via an alias use the real type, so removing an alias after window creation is always safe (i.e. it is not the same as removing a real factory, which would cause an exception when trying to destroy a window with a missing factory).

Parameters

aliasName	String object holding the alias name. That is the name that targetType will also be known as from no on.
targetType	String object holding the type window type name that is to be aliased. This type must already exist.

Returns: Nothing.

Exceptions

UnknownObjectException thrown if targetType is not known within the system.

References isFactoryPresent().

String CEGUI::WindowFactoryManager::getDereferencedAliasType ( const String & type ) const

Use the alias system, where required, to 'de-reference' the specified type to an actual window type that can be created directly (that being either a concrete window type, or a falagard mapped type).

Note: Even though implied by the above description, this method does not check that a factory for the final type exists; we simply say that the returned type is not an alias for some other type.

Parameters

type	String describing the type to be de-referenced.

Returns: String object holding a type for a window that can be created directly; that is, a type that does not describe an alias to some other type.

WindowFactory * CEGUI::WindowFactoryManager::getFactory ( const String & type ) const

Return a pointer to the specified WindowFactory object.

Parameters

type	String holding the Window object type to return the WindowFactory for.

Returns: Pointer to the WindowFactory object that creates Windows of the type type.

Exceptions

UnknownObjectException No WindowFactory object for Window objects of type type was found.

const WindowFactoryManager::FalagardWindowMapping & CEGUI::WindowFactoryManager::getFalagardMappingForType ( const String & type ) const

Return the FalagardWindowMapping for the specified window mapping type.

Parameters

type	Name of a window type. The window type referenced should be a falagard mapped type.

Returns: FalagardWindowMapping object describing the falagard mapping.

Exceptions

InvalidRequestException thrown if type is not a falagard mapping type (or maybe the type didn't exist).

const String & CEGUI::WindowFactoryManager::getMappedLookForType ( const String & type ) const

Return the name of the LookN'Feel assigned to the specified window mapping.

Parameters

type	Name of a window type. The window type referenced should be a falagard mapped type.

Returns: String object holding the name of the look mapped for the requested type.

Exceptions

InvalidRequestException thrown if type is not a falagard mapping type (or maybe the type didn't exist).

References getDereferencedAliasType().

const String & CEGUI::WindowFactoryManager::getMappedRendererForType ( const String & type ) const

Return the name of the WindowRenderer assigned to the specified window mapping.

Parameters

type	Name of a window type. The window type referenced should be a falagard mapped type.

Returns: String object holding the name of the window renderer mapped for the requested type.

Exceptions

InvalidRequestException thrown if type is not a falagard mapping type (or maybe the type didn't exist).

References getDereferencedAliasType().

bool CEGUI::WindowFactoryManager::isFactoryPresent ( const String & name ) const

Checks the list of registered WindowFactory objects, aliases, and falagard mapped types for one which can create Window objects of the specified type.

Parameters

name	String containing the Window type name to check for.

Returns

true if a WindowFactory, alias, or falagard mapping for Window objects of type name is registered.
false if the system knows nothing about windows of type name.

bool CEGUI::WindowFactoryManager::isFalagardMappedType ( const String & type ) const

Return whether the given type is a falagard mapped type.

Parameters

type	Name of a window type.

Returns

true if the requested type is a Falagard mapped window type.
false if the requested type is a normal WindowFactory (or alias), or if the type does not exist.

void CEGUI::WindowFactoryManager::removeAllFactories ( void )

inline

Remove all WindowFactory objects from the list.

Returns: Nothing

void CEGUI::WindowFactoryManager::removeFactory ( const String & name )

Removes a WindowFactory from the list of registered factories.

Note: The WindowFactory object is not destroyed (since it was created externally), instead it is just removed from the list.

Parameters

name	String which holds the name (technically, Window type name) of the WindowFactory to be removed. If name is not in the list, no error occurs (nothing happens).

Returns: Nothing

void CEGUI::WindowFactoryManager::removeFactory ( WindowFactory * factory )

Removes a WindowFactory from the list of registered factories.

Note: The WindowFactory object is not destroyed (since it was created externally), instead it is just removed from the list.

Parameters

factory Pointer to the factory object to be removed. If factory is null, or if no such WindowFactory is in the list, no error occurs (nothing happens).

Returns: Nothing

References CEGUI::WindowFactory::getTypeName(), and removeFactory().

void CEGUI::WindowFactoryManager::removeFalagardWindowMapping ( const String & type )

Remove the specified falagard type mapping if it exists.

Returns: Nothing.

void CEGUI::WindowFactoryManager::removeWindowTypeAlias	(	const String &	aliasName,
		const String &	targetType
	)

Remove the specified alias mapping. If the alias mapping does not exist, nothing happens.

Note: You are required to supply both the alias and target names because there may exist more than one entry for a given alias - therefore you are required to be explicit about which alias is to be removed.

Parameters

aliasName	String object holding the alias name.
targetType	String object holding the type window type name that was aliased.

Returns: Nothing.
