Example 10.49. Process according to the Responder type.

// get topmost Responder
SFRResponderPtr responder = GetFront();

// processing according to Responder type
switch (responder->GetType()) {
    case TYPE_SFRAPPLICATION: // Application
        ...
    case TYPE_SFRWINDOW:      // Window
        ...
    case TYPE_SFRDIALOG:      // Dialog
        ...
    case TYPE_SFRMENU:        // Menu
        ...
    case TYPE_SFRCONTROL:     // Control
        ...
    case TYPE_SFRPANE:        // Pane
        ...
}

Example 10.50. How to Use Attribute

// Processing according to the Responder attribute
switch (responder->GetAttribute()) {
    case ATTRIBUTE_SFRTITLEWINDOW:        // Window
        ...
    case ATTRIBUTE_SFRBUTTONCONTROL:      // Button
        ...
    case ATTRIBUTE_SFRRADIOBUTTONCONTROL: // Radiobutton
        ...
}

Example 10.51. Define the Attribute

// defining attribute
// 1st arg: attribute name, 2nd arg: four_char_code macro function used with arbitrary values.
SFMRESPONDERATTRIBUTE(MYBUTTON1, four_char_code('B', 't', 'n', '1'))

Example 10.52. Set the Attribute

// setting attribute when creating SFRButtonControl instance
SFRButtonControlPtr button1 = new SFRButtonControl(window,
                                                   SFXRectangle(10, 40, 120, 25),
                                                   "button1", 
                                                   ALIGN_CENTER,
                                                   BEHAVIOR_SFRBUTTONCONTROL,
                                                   ATTRIBUTE_MYBUTTON1);

Example 10.53. How to Use Attribute

// processing according to Responder attribute
switch (button->GetAttribute()) {
    case ATTRIBUTE_MYBUTTON1:
        ...
    case ATTRIBUTE_MYBUTTON2:
        ...
}

Example 10.54. Create the Responder instances in the above figure

                                                   SFXRectangle(10, 70, 120, 25), 
                                                   "button3");

SFRCheckboxControlPtr check1 = new SFRCheckboxControl(window2,
                                                      SFXRectangle(10, 100, 120, 25), 
                                                      "check1");

SFRRadiobuttonControlPtr radio1 = new SFRRadiobuttonControl(window3,
                                                            SFXRectangle(10, 5, 120, 20),

SFRRadiobuttonControlPtr radio2 = new SFRRadiobuttonControl(window3,
                                                            SFXRectangle(10, 30, 120, 20), 
                                                            "radio2");

Example 10.55. Method to get the topmost Responder instance

SFRApplicationPtr appli = SFRApplication::GetInstance();

// get pointer to window3
// get topmost window among children of Application class
SFRWindowPtr window3 = static_cast<SFRWindowPtr>(appli)->GetFront();

Example 10.56. Methods to get the second topmost window

SFRWindowPtr window2;

// get pointer to window2

// method 1: get second window start from topmost
window2 = static_cast<SFRWindowPtr>(appli)->GetNthForward(1);

// method 2: get sibling of window3
window2 = static_cast<SFRWindowPtr>(window3)->GetNext();

Example 10.57. Method to get the Control instances of window2

SFRButtonControlPtr button1;

// get pointer to button1
button1 = static_cast<SFRButtonControlPtr>(window2)->GetFront();
// or GetNthForward(0)

// get pointer to button2
button2 = static_cast<SFRButtonControlPtr>(window2)->GetNthForward(1);
// or button1->GetNext()

// get pointer to button3
button3 = static_cast<SFRButtonControlPtr>(window2)->GetNthForward(2);
// or button2->GetNext()

// get pointer to check1
check1 = static_cast<SFRCheckboxControlPtr>(window2)->GetNthForward(3);
// or button3->GetNext()

Example 10.58. Responder not found

// since window1 has no child, responder = null
SFRResponderPtr responder = window1->GetFront();

Example 10.59. Search for the Responder instance

// Example1: search for the child Responder instance with type of TYPE_SFRWINDOW
// 	get topmost responder
responder->GetFront(TYPE_SFRWINDOW);

// Example 2: search for the child Responder instance with type of TYPE_SFRCONTROL and attribute of ATTRIBUTE_SFRBUTTONCONTROL
// 	get topmost responder
responder->GetFront(TYPE_SFRCONTROL, ATTRIBUTE_SFRBUTTONCONTROL);

// Example 3: search for the child Responder instance with attribute of ATTRIBUTE_SFRBUTTONCONTROL
// 	get topmost responder
responder->GetFront(TYPE_WILDCARD, ATTRIBUTE_SFRBUTTONCONTROL);

Example 10.60. Search for the Responder instance

// Example1: search for the child Responder instance with type of TYPE_SFRWINDOW
// 	get topmost responder
//  	invisible and disabled Responder instances are not searched for (default)
responder->GetFront(TYPE_SFRWINDOW, ATTRIBUTE_WILDCARD);

// Example2: search for the child Responder instance with type of TYPE_SFRWINDOW
// 	get topmost responder
//  	Responder instances are searched for regardless of their status such as visible/invisible etc.
responder->GetFront(TYPE_SFRWINDOW, ATTRIBUTE_WILDCARD, BEHAVIOR_NONE);
