Detailed Description

Abstract base class for interactive areas in a widget.

Use an WAbstractArea (or rather, one of its concrete implementations), to define interactivity that applies on a part of a WImage or WPaintedWidget. The area may be defined using different shapes through WRectArea, WCircleArea or WPolygonArea.

See also
WImage::addArea(), WPaintedWidget::addArea()

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Wt::WAbstractArea::~WAbstractArea ( )
virtual

Destructor.

The area is automatically removed from the WImage or WPaintedWidget to which it was added.

See also
WImage::removeArea(), WPaintedWidget::removeArea()

Member Function Documentation

void Wt::WAbstractArea::addStyleClass ( const WString styleClass,
bool  force = false 
)

Adds a style class.

Note
Only few CSS declarations are known to affect the look of a image area, the most notable one being the 'cursor'. Other things will simply be ignored.
const WString Wt::WAbstractArea::alternateText ( ) const

Returns the alternate text.

See also
setAlternateText()
EventSignal< WMouseEvent > & Wt::WAbstractArea::clicked ( )

Event signal emitted when a mouse key was clicked on this widget.

The event details contains information such as the button, optional keyboard modifiers, and mouse coordinates relative to the widget, the window window, or the document.

Note
When JavaScript is disabled, the event details contain invalid information.
Cursor Wt::WAbstractArea::cursor ( ) const

Returns the cursor.

See also
setCursor()
EventSignal< WMouseEvent > & Wt::WAbstractArea::doubleClicked ( )

Event signal emitted when a mouse key was double clicked on this widget.

The event details contains information such as the button, optional keyboard modifiers, and mouse coordinates relative to the widget, the window window, or the document.

Note
When JavaScript is disabled, the signal will never fire.
EventSignal & Wt::WAbstractArea::enterPressed ( )

Event signal emitted when enter was pressed.

This signal is emitted when the Enter or Return key was pressed.

See also
keyPressed(), Key::Enter
EventSignal & Wt::WAbstractArea::escapePressed ( )

Event signal emitted when escape was pressed.

This signal is emitted when the Escape key was pressed.

See also
keyPressed(), Key::Escape
bool Wt::WAbstractArea::isHole ( ) const

Returns whether this area specifies a hole.

See also
setHole()
EventSignal< WKeyEvent > & Wt::WAbstractArea::keyPressed ( )

Event signal emitted when a "character" was entered.

The keyPressed signal is emitted when a key is pressed, and a character is entered. Unlike keyWentDown(), it is emitted only for key presses that result in a character being entered, and thus not for modifier keys or keyboard navigation keys.

See also
keyWentDown()
EventSignal< WKeyEvent > & Wt::WAbstractArea::keyWentDown ( )

Event signal emitted when a keyboard key is pushed down.

The keyWentDown signal is the first signal emitted when a key is pressed (before the keyPressed() signal). Unlike keyPressed() however it is also emitted for modifier keys (such as "shift", "control", ...) or keyboard navigation keys that do not have a corresponding character.

See also
keyPressed(), keyWentUp()
EventSignal< WKeyEvent > & Wt::WAbstractArea::keyWentUp ( )

Event signal emitted when a keyboard key is released.

This is the counter-part of the keyWentDown() event. Every key-down has its corresponding key-up.

See also
keyWentDown()
WLink Wt::WAbstractArea::link ( ) const

Returns the link.

See also
setLink()
EventSignal< WMouseEvent > & Wt::WAbstractArea::mouseDragged ( )

Event signal emitted when the mouse is dragged over this widget.

The mouse event contains information on the button(s) currently pressed. If multiple buttons are currently pressed, only the button with smallest enum value is returned.

Note
When JavaScript is disabled, the signal will never fire.
EventSignal< WMouseEvent > & Wt::WAbstractArea::mouseMoved ( )

Event signal emitted when the mouse moved over this widget.

Note
When JavaScript is disabled, the signal will never fire.
EventSignal< WMouseEvent > & Wt::WAbstractArea::mouseWentDown ( )

Event signal emitted when a mouse key was pushed down on this widget.

The event details contains information such as the button, optional keyboard modifiers, and mouse coordinates relative to the widget, the window window, or the document.

Note
When JavaScript is disabled, the signal will never fire.
EventSignal< WMouseEvent > & Wt::WAbstractArea::mouseWentOut ( )

Event signal emitted when the mouse went out of this widget.

Note
When JavaScript is disabled, the signal will never fire.
EventSignal< WMouseEvent > & Wt::WAbstractArea::mouseWentOver ( )

Event signal emitted when the mouse entered this widget.

Note
When JavaScript is disabled, the signal will never fire.
EventSignal< WMouseEvent > & Wt::WAbstractArea::mouseWentUp ( )

Event signal emitted when a mouse key was released on this widget.

The event details contains information such as the button, optional keyboard modifiers, and mouse coordinates relative to the widget, the window window, or the document.

Note
When JavaScript is disabled, the signal will never fire.
EventSignal< WMouseEvent > & Wt::WAbstractArea::mouseWheel ( )

Event signal emitted when the mouse scroll wheel was used.

The event details contains information such as the wheel delta, optional keyboard modifiers, and mouse coordinates relative to the widget, the window window, or the document.

Note
When JavaScript is disabled, the signal will never fire.
void Wt::WAbstractArea::setAlternateText ( const WString text)

Sets an alternate text.

The alternate text should provide a fallback for browsers that do not display an image. If no sensible fallback text can be provided, an empty text is preferred over nonsense.

This should not be confused with toolTip() text, which provides additional information that is displayed when the mouse hovers over the area.

The default alternate text is an empty text ("").

See also
alternateText()
void Wt::WAbstractArea::setCursor ( Cursor  cursor)

Sets the cursor.

This sets the mouse cursor that is shown when the mouse pointer is over the area. Most browsers only support Cursor::PointingHand, which is activated by a non-empty ref.

See also
setRef()
void Wt::WAbstractArea::setCursor ( std::string  cursorImage,
Cursor  fallback = Cursor::Arrow 
)

Sets a custom cursor image URL.

The URL should point to a .cur file. For optimal portability, make sure that the .cur file is proparly constructed. A renamed .ico file will not work on Internet Explorer.

void Wt::WAbstractArea::setHole ( bool  hole)

Specifies that this area specifies a hole for another area.

When set to true, this area will define an area that does not provide interactivity. When it preceeds other, overlapping, areas, it acts as if it cuts a hole in those areas.

The default value is false.

See also
isHole()
void Wt::WAbstractArea::setLink ( const WLink link)

Sets a link.

By setting a link, the area behaves like a WAnchor.

By default, no destination link is set.

Note
Even when no destination link is set, in some circumstances, an identity URL ('#') will be linked to on the underlying HTML <area> element (see also setCursor()).
void Wt::WAbstractArea::setStyleClass ( const WString styleClass)

Defines a style class.

Note
Only few CSS declarations are known to affect the look of a image area, the most notable one being the 'cursor'. Other things will simply be ignored.
void Wt::WAbstractArea::setToolTip ( const WString text)

Sets the tooltip.

The tooltip is displayed when the cursor hovers over the area.

WString Wt::WAbstractArea::styleClass ( ) const

Returns the style class.

See also
setStyleClass()
WString Wt::WAbstractArea::toolTip ( ) const

Returns the tooltip text.

See also
setToolTip()
