exomWin32 - GUI Controls for Win32

All

common controls of Win32 are supported by the exom SDK. This means objects, container or atomic data can be connected to these controls. The usage of these controls by an application is imaginable easy. The connection between data and a control will always be established by one line of code. For example connecting an edit control to a string looks like in the following way:

ConnectEditCtrlID (IDC_Page_m_Title, XmPathRef (&ref) << minis.ATM_TITLE);

Connection to other controls is similar to the example.

Simple controls

Simple controls means that the implementation by the GUI-Add-On exomWin32 for these controls is comparatively simple.

Edit	connected to string, integers, ...
Static	connected to string, integers, ...
Button	connected to commands
Check box	connected to boolean types
Radio Button	connected to string, integers, ...
Toolbar	connected to commands and boolean types
Menus (with icons)	connected to commands and boolean types
Context Menus	connected to the commands and boolean types of one object
Slider	connected to integer an floats.
Progress Bar	connected to integer an floats.
DatePicker	connected to date/time atoms
MonthCalendar	connected to date/time atoms

Extended controls

Because implementation of these controls within the GUI-Add-On exomWin32 is more complex so they are called extended controls. They also exceed the standard functionality provided by the Windows platform.

ListView	connected to container object for showing its items controls up to 1.000.000 items (independent from numbers of columns) multi columns (up to 500) editable subitems (by edit, combobox or '...') column types: text, checkbox, radiobutton, progress bar sortable by all columns navigation through object hierarchy Cut/Copy/Paste of items to and from Windows clipboard in XML Format moving up/down of items context menu of objects (items) provide search functionality starting from selection all controls are connectable to list selection (Toolbar, Button, List, ...) columns are insert- and deletable by user during runtime flicker free by SmartMemDC (optional)
TreeView	same control as ListView, tree/list view switchable during runtime
Properties	connected to objects editable by edit, combobox or '...' expand/collapse of objects context menu of objects provide search functionality starting from selection flicker free by SmartMemDC (optional)
Description	connected to current selected object or data field
ComboBox	connected to string, integers, ... multi columns in dropdown list autoexpandation with or without edit control
Page Container	connected to objects display a standard (properties + description) or a user defined window. Toggeling between standard and user defined window.
