\par Sizing of a view
Usually the size of a Plug-in view is fixed. But both the host and the Plug-in can cause
a view to be resized:
\n
- Host : If IPlugView::canResize () returns kResultTrue the host will setup the window
so that the user can resize it. While the user resizes the window IPlugView::checkSizeConstraint
()
is called, allowing the Plug-in to change the size to a valid rect. The host then resizes the
window to this rect and has to call IPlugView::onSize ().
\n
\n
- Plug-in : The Plug-in can call IPlugFrame::resizeView () and cause the host to resize the
window.
Afterwards the host has to call IPlugView::onSize () if a resize is needed (size was changed).
Note that if the host calls IPlugView::getSize () before calling IPlugView::onSize () (if needed),
it will get the current (old) size not the wanted one!!
Here the calling sequence:
* plug-in->host: IPlugFrame::resizeView (newSize)
* host->plug-in (optional): IPlugView::getSize () returns the currentSize (not the wanted
newSize)!
* host->plug-in: if newSize is different than its actual current size: IPlugView::onSize
(newSize)
* host->plug-in (optional): IPlugView::getSize () returns the newSize
\n
Please only resize the platform representation of the view when IPlugView::onSize () is called.
\par Keyboard handling
The Plug-in view receives keyboard events from the host. A view implementation must not handle
keyboard events by the means of platform callbacks, but let the host pass them to the view. The host
depends on a proper return value when IPlugView::onKeyDown is called, otherwise the Plug-in view may
cause a malfunction of the host's key command handling!
