Parameters
copyInstance to copy

Member Function Documentation

◆ attachTheme()

void tgui::Widget::attachTheme ( std::shared_ptr< BaseTheme theme)
protected

Attach a theme to the widget.

Parameters
themeTheme to be shared with this widget

If a theme was already attached, it will receive a detach event

◆ clone()

virtual Widget::Ptr tgui::Widget::clone ( ) const
pure virtual

Makes a copy of the widget if you don't know its exact type.

This function should only be used when you don't know the type of the widget. If you know what kind of widget you are copying, you should use the copy function.

Returns
Copy of the widget

◆ disable()

virtual void tgui::Widget::disable ( bool  blockMouseEvents = true)
virtual

Disables the widget.

Parameters
blockMouseEventsShould mouse events be passed to the widget behind this one or blocked?

The widget will no longer receive events and it will thus no longer send callbacks. All widgets are enabled by default.

virtual

Enables the widget.

The widget will receive events and send callbacks again. All widgets are enabled by default.

◆ focus()

Returns
Type of the widget

◆ hide()

virtual void tgui::Widget::hide ( )
virtual

Hides the widget.

The widget won't receive events (and thus won't send callbacks) nor will it be drawn when hidden. The widget is visible by default.

◆ hideWithEffect()

virtual void tgui::Widget::hideWithEffect ( ShowAnimationType  type,
sf::Time  duration 
)
virtual

Hides the widget by making it leave with an animation.

If the widget is already hidden then the animation will still play but you will not see it.

Returns true when the widget is focused and false otherwise.

Returns
Is the widget focused?

◆ isVisible()

bool tgui::Widget::isVisible ( ) const
inline

Returns true when the widget is visible.

Returns
Is the widget visible?

If this function returns false then the widget is hidden, which means that it won't receive events (and thus won't send callbacks) and it won't be drawn. All widgets are visible by default.

◆ operator=()
