Add NOV Button control in MonoMac project at runtime
To get started and host NOV in your Mac OS X (MonoMac) application, take a look at:
Getting Started with NOV in MonoMac project
The following code shows how to add a NOV Button Widget (control) in your MonoMac project at runtime and raise the button click event, showing a message
in NOV Message Box:
using System;
using Nevron.Nov.Mac;
using Nevron.Nov.UI;
using Nevron.Nov;
using Nevron.Nov.Dom;
using Nevron.Nov.Layout;
#if UNIFIEDAPI
using Foundation;
using AppKit;
#else
using MonoMac.Foundation;
using MonoMac.AppKit;
#endif
namespace MonoMacApplication1
{
public partial class MainWindow : NSWindow
{
#region Constructors
// Called when created from unmanaged code
public MainWindow(IntPtr handle)
: base(handle)
{
Initialize();
}
// Called when created directly from a XIB file
[Export("initWithCoder:")]
public MainWindow(NSCoder coder)
: base(coder)
{
Initialize();
}
// Shared initialization code
void Initialize()
{
//NUISettings.EnableMultiThreadedPainting = false;
//NUISettings.EnablePaintCache = false;
NApplication.ApplyTheme(new NMacElCapitanTheme());
// place the host inside the mac window
// create the host
NStackPanel stack = new NStackPanel();
stack.Margins = new Nevron.Nov.Graphics.NMargins(5);
stack.HorizontalPlacement = ENHorizontalPlacement.Left;
stack.VerticalPlacement = ENVerticalPlacement.Top;
stack.HorizontalSpacing = 5;
stack.VerticalSpacing = 5;
// add text only push button
NButton textOnlyButton = new NButton("Text only button");
textOnlyButton.Click += new Function<NEventArgs>(OnButtonClicked);
stack.Add(textOnlyButton);
this.ContentView = new NNovWidgetHost(stack);
}
private void OnButtonClicked(NEventArgs arg1)
{
NMessageBox.Show("textOnlyButton.Click was raised.", "NOV Message Box");
}
#endregion
}
}
Run the application - it should display a simple Mac window with a "Text only button" button inside. When you click the button, the click event will be raised and will display a message inside a NOV Message Box.
