This allows us to construct menus in a more natural way:
auto& file_menu = menubar->add_menu("File");
file_menu.add_action(...);
Instead of the old way:
auto file_menu = GUI::Menu::construct();
file_menu->add_action(...);
menubar->add_menu(file_menu);
We also clean up some old references to the old G prefixed GUI classes
This also fixes a potential bug with using: C_OBJECT_ABSTRACT(GAbstractButton)
instead of C_OBJECT_ABSTRACT(AbstractButton)
Now that add() returns a WidgetType&, we can't rely on the parent of a
GUI::Dialog to still keep it alive after exec() returns. This happens
because exec() will call remove_from_parent() on itself before
returning.
And so we go back to the old idiom for creating a GUI::Dialog centered
above a specific window. Just call GUI::Dialog::construct(), passing
the "parent" window as the last parameter.
Since the returned object is now owned by the callee object, we can
simply vend a ChildType&. This allows us to use "." instead of "->"
at the call site, which is quite nice. :^)
Now it actually defaults to "a < b" comparison, instead of forcing you
to provide a trivial less-than comparator. Also you can pass in any
collection type that has .begin() and .end() and we'll sort it for you.
This patch adds the following convenience helper:
auto tab_widget = GUI::TabWidget::construct();
auto my_widget = tab_widget->add_tab<GUI::Widget>("My tab", ...);
The above is equivalent to:
auto tab_widget = GUI::TabWidget::construct();
auto my_widget = GUI::Widget::construct(...);
tab_widget->add_widget("My tab", my_widget);
This patch introduces the GUI::SyntaxHighlighter class, which can be
attached to a GUI::TextEditor to provide syntax highlighting.
The C++ syntax highlighting from HackStudio becomes a new class called
GUI::CppSyntaxHighlighter. This will make it possible to get C++ syntax
highlighting in any app that uses a GUI::TextEditor. :^)
Sidenote: It does feel a bit weird having a C++ lexer in a GUI toolkit
library, and we'll probably end up moving this out to a separate place
as this functionality grows larger.
I started adding things to a Draw namespace, but it somehow felt really
wrong seeing Draw::Rect and Draw::Bitmap, etc. So instead, let's rename
the library to LibGfx. :^)
This makes getting a pseudoterminal pair a little bit more portable.
Note that grantpt() and unlockpt() are currently no-ops, since we've
already granted the pseudoterminal slave to the calling user.
We also accept O_CLOEXEC to posix_openpt(), unlike some systems. :^)
I've been wanting to do this for a long time. It's time we start being
consistent about how this stuff works.
The new convention is:
- "LibFoo" is a userspace library that provides the "Foo" namespace.
That's it :^) This was pretty tedious to convert and I didn't even
start on LibGUI yet. But it's coming up next.
