Struct limn_core::app::App

pub struct App { /* fields omitted */ }

The App type is just a thin wrapper around a Ui containing the methods used to initialize and run an App.

The main difference between App and Ui is that App is available while initializing your application, and Ui is available to every event handler. As such, App should contain methods that can't, or shouldn't be called while the App is running.

There should be only one App per Window.

Methods

impl App

pub fn add_layout_handlers(&mut self)

impl App

pub fn new(window: Window, events_loop: EventsLoop) -> Self

Creates a new App from an existing Window. Automatically initializes the default event handlers for a typical desktop app:

ui_handlers, layout_handlers, input_handlers, mouse_handlers, keyboard_handlers and drag_handlers

pub fn main_loop(self, root: Widget)

Updates the UI and redraws the window (the applications main loop)

Important traits for &'a mut I

impl<'a, I> Iterator for &'a mut I where
    I: Iterator + ?Sized,  type Item = <I as Iterator>::Item;

pub fn add_handler<E: 'static, T: EventHandler<E> + 'static>(
    &mut self,
    handler: T
) -> &mut Self

Add a new global event handler

pub fn get_root(&self) -> Widget

pub fn window(&self) -> Ref<Window>

impl App

pub fn add_ui_handlers(&mut self)

impl App

pub fn add_mouse_handlers(&mut self)

impl App

pub fn add_keyboard_handlers(&mut self)

impl App

pub fn add_drag_handlers(&mut self)

Add handlers to UI to enable drag detection UI receives messages from draggable widgets when they are clicked, and combines that with mouse move and mouse release events to synthesize DragEvents

impl App

pub fn add_input_handlers(&mut self)
