(DRAFT)

This user module is a new version of the one provided with Usine. It’s updated to take advantage of ‘edit layout’ functionalities and thus, is a good example for showing how to manage them with the SDK.

Here are the entire project folder

DisplayNumber.zip

It contain three files :

• DisplayNumber.h
• DisplayNumber.cpp
• DisplayNumber.vcproj

You just have to unzip it at the same level as examples provided with the SDK. After that, you open the SDK solution, add an existing project and locate the ‘DisplayNumber.vcproj’ file, that’s it .

The goal of this module is pretty simple, you have a numeric value and you want to show it in your interface.

Things become interesting when it’s time to let the user customize the appearance of the module in the interface, it’s the purpose of the ‘edit layout’ panel.

To manage it with the SDK, there is three things we have to do :

• Construct the ‘edit layout’ panel and provide it to Usine.
• Listen Usine to layout parameters modifications and reflect them in the module.
• Draw the module interface upon these parameters.

 
void CreateLayout(void* pModule);

 
void AddLayoutLineSeparator(TMasterInfo* pTMasterInfo);
 
void AddLayoutLineColor(TMasterInfo* pTMasterInfo, DWORD* pVal, PCHAR Caption);
 
void AddLineLayoutBoolean(TMasterInfo* pTMasterInfo, LONGBOOl* pVal, PCHAR Caption);
 
void AddLineLayoutInteger(TMasterInfo* pTMasterInfo, int* pVal, PCHAR Caption, int min, int max);

 
void LayoutHasChanged(void* pModule);

 
// to ask usine to update the module panel
 
void RepaintPanel(TMasterInfo* pTMasterInfo);

 
void Paint (void* pModule, HDC DC, DWORD ParentColor);
