Window (lv_win)

Overview

The Window is container-like object built from a header with title and buttons and a content area.

Parts and Styles

The Window is built from other widgets so you can check their documentation for details:

Background: lv_obj.h
Header on the background: lv_obj.h
Title on the header: lv_label.h
Buttons on the header: lv_button.h
Content area on the background: lv_obj.h

Usage

Create a Window

lv_win_create(parent, header_height) creates a Window with an empty header.

Title and buttons

Any number of texts (but typically only one) can be added to the header with lv_win_add_title(win, "The title").

Control buttons can be added to the window's header with lv_win_add_button(win, icon, button_width). icon can be any image source, and button_width is the width of the button.

The title and the buttons will be added in the order the functions are called. So adding a button, a text and two other buttons will result in a button on the left, a title, and 2 buttons on the right. The width of the title is set to take all the remaining space on the header. In other words: it pushes to the right all the buttons that are added after the title.

Get the parts

lv_win_get_header(win) returns a pointer to the header, lv_win_get_content(win) returns a pointer to the content container to which the content of the window can be added.

Events

No special events are sent by the windows, however events can be added manually to the return value of lv_win_add_button().

Keys

No Keys are handled by the window.
