Derived from: BHandler
Declared in: be/interface/View.h
Library: libbe.so
Summary: more...
The BView class is one of the largest in the BeOS class library. Because of this, the BView documentation is split across a number of files:
- BView Introduction is a brief intro to the BView class.
- BView General Functions describes those functions that you use no matter what you're doing with your BView object.
- BView Drawing-Related Functions: Anything related to drawing subdivided into Primitive Drawing Functions (to draw lines, circles, polygons, etc.) and Other Drawing Functions (such as picture recording, and bitmap functions).
- BView Graphics State Functions modify or report on the "graphics state," a set of variables (colors, pen position, scaling, etc.) that control how drawing takes place in the BView.
- BView Hook Functions gives a list of the BView functions that can be implemented in a subclass.
- BView View Hierarchy Functions relate to the nested tree of views associated with a window.
- BView Input-Related Functions monitor and process input activity.
- Scripting and Archival describes the scripting suites and properties, and archived fields supported by BView.

For a background view (which just is painted gray and holds other controls), try using a BBox. For the bounds, take the window Bounds() and InsetBy(-1, -1). Doing this will make your dialog look classier and more professional.

One thing I have noticed about BView::SetViewCursor() is that it will not work in the constructor, AttachedToWindow(), AllAttached(), or WindowActivated(). Sheesh! In fact, the only place that it seems to work to use SetViewCursor() is in MouseMoved().
