Detailed Description

Singleton class representing an application.

Description:

Before you can use any of the classes in the AtheOS API you must instantiate an application object. The application object establish the connection with the appserver, and are responcible for all application level comunication after the connection is established.

os::Application inherit from Looper, but it does behave different from other loopers in the way that it does not spawn a new thread when the Run() member is called. Insetead it steel the thread calling the run member (normally the main thread) and let it run the message loop.

os::Window, os::View, os::Looper

Member Function Documentation

void Application::CommitColorConfig ( )

bigtime_t Application::GetIdleTime ( )

Application * Application::GetInstance ( ) [static]

Get the (one and only) instance of the Application class. When the Application class is instantiated it will assign a pointer to the instance to a static member that can be obtained through this function. Many other classes expect this function to return a valid pointer, so it is importen that you instantiate the Application class once (and only once) before calling any other functions in the native AtheOS API. Returns: Pointer to the global instance of the Application drived class. See also: Author(s): Kurt Skauen (kurt.skauen@c2i.net)

void Application::GetKeyboardConfig ( std::string * pcKeymapName, int * pnKeyDelay, int * pnKeyRepeat )

uint32 Application::GetQualifiers ( )

Returnes the current state of keyboards qualifiers. Sends a requester to the appserver to obtain the current state of keyboard qualifiers. Returns: A bit mask composed from os::qualifiers decribing which qualifiers currently pressed See also: Author(s): Kurt Skauen (kurt.skauen@c2i.net)

int Application::GetScreenModeCount ( )

int Application::GetScreenModeInfo ( int nIndex, screen_mode * psMode )

void Application::HandleMessage ( Message * pcMessage ) [virtual]

Reimplemented from os::Handler.

void Application::PopCursor ( )

void Application::PushCursor ( mouse_ptr_mode eMode, void * pImage, int nWidth, int nHeight, const IPoint & cHotSpot = IPoint(0,0) )

thread_id Application::Run ( ) [virtual]

Entry point for the message loop. The Application class is different from other loopers in that it does not spawn a new thread when the Run() member is called. Instead the Run() member directly enter the message loop, and does not return until the message loop quits. Returns: The thread id of the thread calling it. See also: Author(s): Kurt Skauen (kurt.skauen@c2i.net) Reimplemented from os::Looper.

status_t Application::SetKeyboardTimings ( int nDelay, int nRepeat )

status_t Application::SetKeymap ( const char * pzName )

void Application::SetWindowDecorator ( const char * pzPath )
