GuiNotification Class Referenceabstract

#include "include/gui-notification-facade.h"

Description

Global access point to push state update and notification of events from the lower layers into the Lumiera GUI.

Typically, this happens asynchronously and triggered by events within the lower layers.

This is a layer separation façade interface. Clients should use the embedded facade factory, which yields a proxy routing any calls through the lumieraorg_GuiNotification interface

Exceptions
lumiera::error::Statewhen interface is not opened

Member Function Documentation

◆ mutate()

virtual void mutate ( ID  uiElement,
MutationMessage &&   
)
pure virtual

push a diff message up into the user interface.

Remarks
this is the intended way how to populate or manipulate the contents of the user interface from lower layers. By sending a diff message, any structural or content changes can be described without actually knowing the implementation of the UI model elements subject to this change.

diff-language.hpp

◆ triggerGuiShutdown()

virtual void triggerGuiShutdown ( string const &  cause)
pure virtual

causes the GUI to shut down unconditionally

Parameters
causeuser visible explanation of the reason causing this shutdown
Warning
since the UI is a subsystem, this call eventually terminates the whole application.

Implemented in NotificationService.
