virtual std::shared_ptr< BackendFont > tgui::Backend::createFont ( )
virtual

Creates a new font object.

Returns
Font that is specific to the backend

◆ createText()

virtual std::shared_ptr< BackendText > tgui::Backend::createText ( )
virtual

Creates a new text object.

Returns
Text that is specific to the backend

◆ createTexture()

virtual std::shared_ptr< BackendTexture > tgui::Backend::createTexture ( )
virtual

Creates a new texture object.

Returns
Texture that is specific to the backend

◆ detatchGui()

virtual void tgui::Backend::detatchGui ( BackendGui gui)
pure virtual

Informs the backend that a gui object is being destroyed.

Parameters
guiGui object that is about to be deconstructed

Implemented in tgui::BackendGLFW, tgui::BackendSDL, and tgui::BackendSFML.

◆ getClipboard()

virtual String tgui::Backend::getClipboard ( ) const
virtual

Returns the contents of the clipboard.

Returns
Clipboard contents

Reimplemented in tgui::BackendGLFW, tgui::BackendSDL, and tgui::BackendSFML.

◆ getFontBackend()

std::shared_ptr< BackendFontFactory > tgui::Backend::getFontBackend ( ) const

Returns the font factory.

Returns
Font factory attached to the backend
Warning
This function will assert if no font factory has been set.
See also
hasFontBackend()

◆ getRenderer()

std::shared_ptr< BackendRenderer > tgui::Backend::getRenderer ( ) const

Returns the renderer.

Returns
Renderer attached to the backend
Warning
This function will assert if no renderer has been set.
See also
hasRenderer()

◆ hasFontBackend()

bool tgui::Backend::hasFontBackend ( ) const

Checks whether a font factory has been attached to the backend.

Returns
Has setFontBackend been called with a valid font factory?

◆ hasRenderer()

bool tgui::Backend::hasRenderer ( ) const

Checks whether a renderer has been attached to the backend.

Returns
Has setRenderer been called with a valid backend renderer?

◆ isKeyboardModifierPressed()

virtual bool tgui::Backend::isKeyboardModifierPressed ( Event::KeyModifier  modifierKey)
pure virtual

Checks the state for one of the modifier keys.

Parameters
modifierKeyThe modifier key of which the state is being queried
Returns
Whether queries modifier key is being pressed

Implemented in tgui::BackendGLFW, tgui::BackendSDL, and tgui::BackendSFML.

◆ openVirtualKeyboard()

virtual void tgui::Backend::openVirtualKeyboard ( const FloatRect inputRect)
virtual

Opens the virtual keyboard on Android and iOS.

Parameters
inputRectPart of the screen where the text input is located

If this function isn't overriden then calling it does nothing.

Reimplemented in tgui::BackendSDL, and tgui::BackendSFML.

◆ readFileFromAndroidAssets()

virtual std::unique_ptr< std::uint8_t[]> tgui::Backend::readFileFromAndroidAssets ( const String filename,
std::size_t &  fileSize 
) const
virtual

Uses the AssetManager on Android to read a file and return its contents.

Parameters
filenamePath to the file to read
fileSizeSize of the file, to be filled in by this function if loading succeeds (untouched on failure)
Returns
File contents if the file was successfully read, or a nullptr on failure or if platform isn't Android.

◆ resetMouseCursorStyle()

virtual void tgui::Backend::resetMouseCursorStyle ( Cursor::Type  type)
pure virtual

Changes the look of a certain mouse cursor back to the system theme.

Parameters
typeCursor that should no longer use a custom bitmap

Implemented in tgui::BackendGLFW, tgui::BackendSDL, and tgui::BackendSFML.

◆ setClipboard()

virtual void tgui::Backend::setClipboard ( const String contents)
virtual

Changes the contents of the clipboard.

Parameters
contentsNew contents of the clipboard

Reimplemented in tgui::BackendGLFW, tgui::BackendSDL, and tgui::BackendSFML.

◆ setDestroyOnLastGuiDetatch()

void tgui::Backend::setDestroyOnLastGuiDetatch ( bool  destroyOnDetatch)

Informs the backend whether it should destroy itself when the last Gui is detached from it.

Parameters
destroyOnDetatchShould setBackend(nullptr) be called when there are no more Gui objects left?

This function will be called with "true" as parameter if the Backend is created by a Gui object.

◆ setFontBackend()

virtual void tgui::Backend::setFontBackend ( std::shared_ptr< BackendFontFactory fontBackend)
virtual

Sets the font factory that the backend should use.

Parameters
fontBackendFont factory to attach to the backend
