So using Fluid i would use the 'sub class of' box when declaring my class? this
is what it gives me, why doesn't it add the 'public' keyword or whatever or is
that up to us i suppose>
why is 'double'[ window preferred? my fluid creates it by default but in the
1.1 docs the cubeview tutorial makes no mention of this and creates a 'single'
header:
// generated by Fast Light User Interface Designer (fluid) version 1.0110
#ifndef testwin_h
#define testwin_h
#include <FL/Fl.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Window.H>
class TestWindow : Fl_Double_Window {
public:
TestWindow();
Fl_Window *testWin;
};
#endif
code
#include "testwin.h"
TestWindow::TestWindow() {
{ testWin = new Fl_Window(191, 169, "testWin");
testWin->user_data((void*)(this));
testWin->end();
} // Fl_Window* testWin
}
