CAD11 — "Cadsystem" interface issue

  • Key: CAD11-25
  • Legacy Issue Number: 5753
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    The interface "Cadsystem" provides access on a "CadUserInterface" by the
    method

    boolean is_interactive(out CadUserInterface gui);

    Normally loading a model in the CAD engine and showing it with the editor
    are two different tasks.
    "create_model" and "open_model" obvioulsy are related to CAD-Engine
    activity. GUI activities like showing, hiding etc. are not mandatory
    implicated. If methods like "create_model" and "open_model" are intended not
    to include GUI operation then functionality to control the
    "CadUserInterface" is missing.
    Therefore the following function would be very helpful (They assume that a
    model is already loaded by the CAD engine):

    createWindow(model) // Creates a window and put it in the foreground
    hideWindow(model) // hides an existing window but doesn't
    delete it
    foregroundWindow(model) // put an existing (even if hided) window in the
    foreground
    deleteWindow(model) // delete the window and the corresponding window
    data structure but NOT the model within the CAD engine

    Every model should throw a "ModelNotLoadedException" if the model is not
    loaded.

    Summing up this should allow for a separated control of activities within
    the CAD-engine and the editor.
