35 * XML-configured GUI subsystem.
37 * This subsystem manages the graphical user interface for FlightGear.
38 * It creates a menubar from the XML configuration file in
39 * $FG_ROOT/gui/menubar.xml, then stores the configuration properties
40 * for XML-configured dialog boxes found in $FG_ROOT/gui/dialogs/. It
41 * can show or hide the menubar, and can display any dialog by name.
43 class NewGUI : public SGSubsystem
58 * Initialize the GUI subsystem.
63 * Reinitialize the GUI subsystem.
65 virtual void reinit ();
68 * Bind properties for the GUI subsystem.
70 * Currently, this method binds the properties for showing and
76 * Unbind properties for the GUI subsystem.
78 virtual void unbind ();
81 * Update the GUI subsystem.
83 * Currently, this method is a no-op, because nothing the GUI
84 * subsystem does is time-dependent.
86 virtual void update (double delta_time_sec);
89 * Creates a new dialog box, using the same property format as the
90 * gui/dialogs configuration files. Does not display the
91 * resulting dialog. If a pre-existing dialog of the same name
92 * exists, it will be deleted. The node argument will be stored
93 * in the GUI subsystem using SGPropertNode_ptr reference counting.
94 * It should not be deleted by user code.
96 * @param node A property node containing the dialog definition

101 * Display a dialog box.
103 * At initialization time, the subsystem reads all of the XML
104 * configuration files from the directory $FG_ROOT/gui/dialogs/.
105 * The configuration for each dialog specifies a name, and this
106 * method invokes the dialog with the name specified (if it
109 * @param name The name of the dialog box.
110 * @return true if the dialog exists, false otherwise.
112 virtual bool showDialog (const string &name);
116 * Close the currenty active dialog. This function is intended to
117 * be called from code (pui callbacks, for instance) that registers
118 * its dialog object as active via setActiveDialog(). Other
119 * user-level code should use the closeDialog(name) API.
121 * @return true if a dialog was active, false otherwise
123 virtual bool closeActiveDialog ();
126 * Close a named dialog, if it is open.
128 * @param name The name of the dialog box.
