In particular, dynamic allocation of FLTK objects is -not necessary as in Ada they can be placed on the stack and automatically cleaned -up. Ada 2012 iterators have also been made available for the Fl_Group and Fl_Menu -bindings. - -For documentation on what C++ method or class corresponds to what Ada function, -procedure, or package, see the /doc/index.html file. - - - - -Dependencies: - - GNAT - FLTK - - - - -How to build/install: - -This repository is written to use the GNAT Project Manager build tools. To build -this FLTK-Ada binding for testing purposes, use the following command - - gprbuild fltkada.gpr - -And to install the binding, use - - gprinstall -p -m fltkada.gpr - - - - -For further information on the build tools, consult - - https://docs.adacore.com/gprbuild-docs/html/gprbuild_ug.html - - - - -A technical note on callbacks and overriding: - -As part of its normal operation, FLTK calls a Widget's Draw and Handle methods from its -main loop to deal with draw and input events. Since it's another part of the program -that is invoking them, even if it's a part the programmer has no direct control over, -this binding is set up so that if you override Draw or Handle, the behaviour will change. - -On the other hand, something like the Push method in tabbed groups is usually invoked -from within that same tabbed group widget's Handle method. Therefore, keeping consistency -with Ada semantics, overriding the Push method will NOT change the behaviour of the -corresponding Handle method. You must also override Handle. - - |
