IUIApplication::OnViewChanged method (uiribbon.h)

Article
02/22/2024

Called when the state of a View changes.

Syntax

HRESULT OnViewChanged(
  [in] UINT32      viewId,
  [in] UI_VIEWTYPE typeID,
  [in] IUnknown    *view,
  [in] UI_VIEWVERB verb,
  [in] INT32       uReasonCode
);

Parameters

[in] viewId

Type: UINT32

The ID for the View. Only a value of 0 is valid.

[in] typeID

Type: UI_VIEWTYPE

The UI_VIEWTYPE hosted by the application.

[in] view

Type: IUnknown*

A pointer to the View interface.

[in] verb

Type: UI_VIEWVERB

The UI_VIEWVERB (or action) performed by the View.

[in] uReasonCode

Type: INT32

Not defined.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

This callback notification is sent by the framework to the host application on each View state change.

Important This callback only occurs for the Ribbon View with a viewId of 0.

IUIApplication::OnViewChanged is useful for initializing Ribbon properties when the host application starts, modifying Ribbon properties based on user actions, such as resizing the application window, and querying Ribbon properties when the application closes.

Examples

The following example demonstrates a basic implementation of the IUIApplication::OnViewChanged method.

//
//  FUNCTION: OnViewChanged(UINT, UI_VIEWTYPE, IUnknown*, UI_VIEWVERB, INT)
//
//  PURPOSE: Called when the state of a View (Ribbon is a view) changes - like created/destroyed/resized.
//
//  PARAMETERS:    
//                viewId - The View identifier. 
//                typeID - The View type. 
//                pView - Pointer to the View interface. 
//                verb - The action performed by the View. 
//                uReasonCode - Not defined. 
//
//  COMMENTS:
//
//    For this sample, return the same command handler for all commands
//    specified in the .xml file.
//    
//
