Custom widgets in FLUID

[anmol....@gmail.com]

From the documentation,

https://www.fltk.org/doc-1.3/subclassing.html

>>>

The constructor should have the following arguments:

MyClass(int x, int y, int w, int h, const char *label = 0);

This will allow the class to be used in FLUID without problems.

>>>

I have a Double_Window() -> Tabs () -> Group () inside FLUID. When I try to add anything from New -> Code it automatically adds it outside the window.

The only widgets that can be added via FLUID are the pre-defined widgets inside the New -> (NOT Code)

Inside the FLUID example, we use the CubeView class but again, all the widgets added are the pre-defined widgets in FLUID.

Am I missing something that will allow me to add custom widgets ?

I got my answer from this tutorial - http://www.c-jump.com/bcc/common/Talk2/Cxx/FltkFluidClass/FltkFluidClass.html#W01_0120_adding_custom_widget

>>>

• Similar to other widgets, click FLUID menu

  New/Other/Box

• to add a custom widget to the window. It appears in the design view as a square box.

• In the properties window for our custom widget,

  • Enter the name of the class, e.g. Drawing2D in the Class: field.

  • In the Extra Code: field enter #include "path/Drawing2D.h" to make sure that the class header is included.

>>>

The widget will only appear after you compile and run it. It will not show in the preview window from within FLUID.

Thank you for this feature.
