PtDisableSurface(), PtDisableSurfaceById()

Disable a control surface

Synopsis:

void PtDisableSurface( PtWidget_t *widget,
                       PtSurface_t *surface,
                       ulong_t flags );

void PtDisableSurfaceById( PtWidget_t *widget,
                           uchar_t surface_id,
                           ulong_t flags );

Library:

ph

Description:

These functions disable a control surface belonging to the given widget.

PtDisableSurface()

Uses the surface argument, which points to a PtSurface_t structure that describes the control surface. This pointer must not be NULL.

PtDisableSurfaceById()

Searches the control surfaces belonging to the widget for the one with an ID of surface_id.

Disabled surfaces are drawn, but they don't respond to events. They do or don't consume events to which they're sensitive, depending on the setting of their Pt_SURFACE_CONSUME_EVENTS flag. If this bit is set, the surface effectively blocks events to which it's sensitive.

The flags argument specifies additional action to take, and may include the following values:

Pt_DAMAGE_SURFACE

Damage the surface if its state changes. This is useful if a surface draws differently depending on its enabled/disabled state.
