To create a new widget you simply have to subclass one of the existing widgets ( or the base one ) and implement the functions you want to change. Almost every function in the widget class is a ''virtual'' one which allows you to customize the widget the way you want. For example, say you want to create a widget that all it does is play a sound when the mouse is moved over it. For this you can subclass the base widget '''pawsWidget''' and just implement the ''OnMouseEnter()'' and the ''OnMouseExit()'' functions. | |||
class MyNewWidget : public pawsWidget | |||
{ | |||
public: | |||
virtual bool OnMouseEnter() | |||
{ | |||
MyPlaySound(); | |||
} | |||
virtual bool OnMouseExit() | |||
{ | |||
MyStopSound(); | |||
} | |||
private: | |||
void MyPlaySound() { ... } | |||
void MyStopSound() { ... } | |||
}; | |||
Next update will be to show how to create the factory and the XML for this so you can do something like specify a sound to play. | |||
