The following examples demonstrate integration of the layout manager into an application. For more information, look at the Clouds, Scribble, DialogApp or LayoutControl samples in SFL (available on request from support@roguewave.com). The code in the examples is to be inserted in the InitLayout override of the window you are adding layout management to.
virtual void InitLayout(foundation::ILayoutNode* pRootNode)
{
// Scale is perhaps the simplest and easiest layout algorithm to
// merge into your code. This is all the code you need:
pRootNode = CreateLayoutNode(__uuidof(foundation::CScaleLayout));
// optional: set dialog box size limits
pRootNode->SetMinMaxSize(CSize(150, 255), CSize(900, 600), 0);
// set all child nodes to use optimized redraw
// (static controls require it)
pRootNode->ModifyNodeStyleEx(0, foundation::OptimizeRedraw,
true);
// Delegate to base class to autopopulate the root node
// and kick off the layout process
_LayoutManager::InitLayout(pRootNode);
}
