Introduction

The IWindow interface is an interface that enables objects to be added to the GuiManager. Once an object is added to the GuiManager it will automatically be tested for Cursor events. The IWindow interface can be used to simplify the implementation of buttons, check boxes, and any other types of UI elements which may need to interact with the cursor.

IWindow and Glue

Although IWindow can be implemented manually in code, the IWindow interface is most typically implemented by Glue in generated code. For more information on IWindow in Glue, see this page.

The Enabled property determines whether a UI element will react to input events, such as being clicked. IWindow instances which have their Enabled value set to false will be skipped over by the Cursor when performing UI checks; these instances will never be assigned to the Cursor.WindowOver property.

Introduction

The CallClick method forces the implementing IWindow to raise its Click event. This can be used to test clicking events or to allow other input or logic to simulate a button click.

Code Example

The following calls click when the space bar is pressed.

bool wasSpacePushed = InputManager.Keyboard.KeyPushed(Keys.Space);

if(wasKeyPushed)
{
   WindowInstance.CallClick();
}
