Public / Methods

AcquireTry

Acquires a strong reference to this disposable object.

[OwnerReturn, ThreadSafe]
public method	AcquireTry ()
type	IDisposable
returns			this if a new strong reference has been acquired, null if this object is already being disposed.
inherited	Disposable.AcquireTry

Remarks:

The object will not be actually disposed by calls to Dispose when there is at least one strong reference left. Code that calls the AcquireTry method is responsible for calling the Dispose method accordingly.

This method is not intended to be used in performance-critical code. It should only be used to high-level resource management.

ChildAdd

Adds a child component to this container, using its current layout settings.

public virtual method	ChildAdd ([Owner] Component component)
params	component	[not-null]	The child component.

---

Adds a child component to this container using the given layout settings.

public virtual method	ChildAdd ([Owner] Component component, Layout layout)
params	component	[not-null]	The child component.
	layout		The layout settings to use. Unspecified settings will be taken from LayoutDefault.

ChildAny

Checks if this container has any children.

[Pure]
public virtual method	ChildAny (bool onlyVisible)
type	bool
params	onlyVisible		true to test for non-hidden (see Hidden) children only, false to test for existing children.

public method	ConsumeInput (InputEvent inputEvent)
type	bool
params	inputEvent		The user input event.
returns			true if the input event has been consumed, false if not.
inherited	Component.ConsumeInput

Remarks:

Input events are provided to an IInputConsumer object only if it has the input focus (see FocusGained and FocusLost). Mouse events are provided when the mouse cursor is inside of the input bounds (MouseEnter and MouseLeave). The Closing event can be provided at any time.

1. FocusGained: gained input focus
2. Keyboard events:
   • Pressed: key has been pressed down.
   • Released: key has been released.
   • Clicked: key has been clicked.

   2. Mouse events:
      • Pressed
      • Released
      • Clicked
      • MouseMove
   3. MouseLeave
4. FocusLost: lost input focus
5. Closing: user request to shut down

Dispose

Releases all resources held by this object if there are no more strong references to it, decrements the reference counter by one otherwise.
