3.8 Window
Management
EasyPower Measure is a multiple document interface (MDI) application. This means that movement and
resizing of any windows follows standard Windows graphical user interface conventions. EasyPower Measure
has been developed under the Microsoft C++ SDK and uses C++ object oriented coding for all window
management.
3.8.1 Determining Focus
As with any MDI application, Focus determines what window is selected so that the application can respond
appropriately to a users commands. The title bar for each Result Window will highlight in the system focus
color (which can be configured via Display under the Win 95 Control Panel) when any part of the window is
selected.
Also, the Database View can achieve focus by clicking within its top column label area. Database View focus
will not activate a highlighted title bar (there is no title bar to conserve space), but will display the
focusing
binoculars within its top column label area.
Once a window has focus, commands like
Copy Graphics or Text
will perform their action on the window that has focus.
Clicking on the title and border of any window will give that window focus. But in addition to giving focus, the
same mouse actions can be used to:
• Move the window: The title bar of each window can be grabbed (left mouse click and hold) while
repositioning it to another location within its parent window.
• Resize the window: Moving the mouse over the borders of any window will change the mouse cursor
to a symbol for resizing the window from top, bottom, sides, or corners. With the mouse cursor in its
modified state, left mouse click and hold to resize the window within the parent window.
The Parent-Child relationship of windows within EasyPower Measure is as follows:
