Window management

From Rosetta Code
Task
Window management
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Treat windows or at least window identities as first class objects.

  • Store window identities in variables, compare them for equality.
  • Provide examples of performing some of the following:
    • hide,
    • show,
    • close,
    • minimize,
    • maximize,
    • move,     and
    • resize a window.


The window of interest may or may not have been created by your program.

F1::  ;; when user hits the F1 key, do the following
WinGetTitle, window, A  ; get identity of active window into a variable
WinMove, %window%, , 100, 100, 800, 800 ; move window to coordinates, 100, 100
                                        ; and change size to 800 x 800 pixels
sleep, 2000
WinHide, % window    ; hide window
TrayTip, hidden, window is hidden, 2
sleep, 2000
WinShow, % window  ; show window again

  if (name = window) ; compare window variables for equality
  {
    msgbox you got it
    break
  }
; else try again
}
WinClose, % window

C

C does not have any standard windowing library, although cross platform libraries are available, and although it's technically possible to create windows from scratch given the Dark powers that C commands, I chose the simplest option, the Windows API. On running this program, the user is taken over all the sub tasks listed in this task one by one.

Oz

We use QTk, Oz' default GUI toolkit. QTk takes a declarative description of the GUI and from this creates objects which represent the GUI parts. So windows are represented by objects and thus have an identity.

We create two windows with a simple GUI. The user can use each window to send messages to the window or its neighboring window. (Sending messages is the same as 'calling methods' in Oz.)

We also wrap the Window objects in a procedure in order to extend their functionality. This is interesting because it shows how to extend an object's interface even when we don't have control over object creation.

declare
  [QTk] = {Module.link ['x-oz://system/wp/QTk.ozf']}

  WindowActions =
  [hide show close

Perl

Library: Perl/Tk

This is a translation of the Tcl solution for this task.

The preferred way of using Tk with perl is through the (relatively modern) Tkx module, not the (quite old) Tk module (also known as perl/tk), which my code uses.

I wrote the code using the Tk module, as that's what I had on my computer, and I was too lazy to install Tkx. Translating from perl/tk to Tkx should be fairly trivial.

#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;

my $mw;
my $win;
my $lab;

# How to open a window.
sub openWin {
	if( $win ) {
		$win->deiconify;
		$win->wm('state', 'normal');
	} else {
		eval { $win->destroy } if $win;
		$win = $mw->Toplevel;
		$win->Label(-text => "This is the window being manipulated")
			->pack(-fill => 'both', -expand => 1);
		$lab->configure(-text => "The window object is:\n$win");
	}
}

# How to close a window
sub closeWin {
	return unless $win;
	$win->destroy;
	$lab->configure(-text => '');
	undef $win;
}

# How to minimize a window
sub minimizeWin {
	return unless $win;
	$win->iconify;
}

# How to maximize a window
sub maximizeWin {
	return unless $win;
	$win->wm('state', 'zoomed');
	eval { $win->wmAttribute(-zoomed => 1) }; # Hack for X11
}

# How to move a window
sub moveWin {
	return unless $win;
	my ($x, $y) = $win->geometry() =~ /\+(\d+)\+(\d+)\z/ or die;
	$_ += 10 for $x, $y;
	$win->geometry("+$x+$y");
}

# How to resize a window
sub resizeWin {
	return unless $win;
	my ($w, $h) = $win->geometry() =~ /^(\d+)x(\d+)/ or die;
	$_ += 10 for $w, $h;
	$win->geometry($w . "x" . $h);
}

$mw = MainWindow->new;
for my $label0 ($mw->Label(-text => 'Window handle:')) {
	$lab = $mw->Label(-text => '');
	$label0->grid($lab);
}

my @binit = ('Open/Restore' => \&openWin, Close => \&closeWin,
	Minimize => \&minimizeWin, Maximize => \&maximizeWin,
	Move => \&moveWin, Resize => \&resizeWin);

while( my ($text, $callback) = splice @binit, 0, 2 ) {
	$mw->Button(-text => $text, -command => $callback)->grid('-');
}

MainLoop();

__END__

In the Tcl code I translated from, the second label of the main window had a textvariable attribute. For some reason, this didn't work correctly for me, either due to a bug in Tk.pm, or some other reason. Because of that, I kept around a handle to that second label ($lab), and called configure on it when I needed it's text to change.

Doubtless some more modern Tk binding (such as Tkx, or perhaps Tcl::Tk) would handle that better.
