MSG Msg

HINSTANCE hInstance

Passed from WINMAIN.

int nCmdShow

Passed from WINMAIN.

HWND firstWindow

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

GUIToolkit::GUIControl::GUIControl ( HINSTANCE my_hInstance,

int my_nCmdShow

)

Pass parameters from WinMain or DLLMain. If these parameters are not available call with my_nCmdShow = SW_SHOWDEFAULT and my_hInstance = GetModuleHandle(NULL). (This could be critical under non XP-environments)
Todo:
add apropriate default constructor.

int GUIToolkit::GUIControl::RegisterRaw ( Component * m )

Raw components (that is, DirectX component) must call this
Todo:
is this the way?

Member Data Documentation

GUIControl * GUIToolkit::GUIControl::GUIInstance = 0 [static]

We need a static callback routine in order to satisfy windows. But we also need a nice object, that the static routine can access. Therefore we have a static pointer to a dynamic object. This means there can be only ONE instance of GUIControl (since it accessed through GUIInstance) Awfull Hack, but neccesary.
