\class BLayoutBuilder::Base<>
\ingroup interface
\ingroup layout
\brief Base for all other layout builders in the BLayoutBuilder namespace.
This class provides the stack-like semantics for its subclasses. The
BLayoutBuilder::Group, BLayoutBuilder::Grid and BLayoutBuilder::Split all
provide methods such as AddGrid() AddGroup() and AddSplit(), which
make a new builder, place it on top of your builder stack and return it.
Now you are operating on the new builder. When you call the End() method on
the new builder, you are returned the one you had previously been using. At
any point, you are calling methods on whatever builder currently resides on
the top of the stack. Here's an example of how these classes work.
\code
BLayoutBuilder::Group<>(B_HORIZONTAL)
\endcode
At this point our stack just contains a single builder, it looks like this:
\li Group<>
\code
.AddGrid()
\endcode
Now there is a Grid builder on top of the stack, so it looks like this \li Group<>::GridBuilder
\li Group<>
Notice that the Grid on top of the stack is not a plain Grid<>, but a nested
type from the Group<> class. This is an essential part of the builder
classes, as this is what allows you to pop builders off the stack and get
the correct type in return.
\code
.AddSplit()
\endcode
Now our stack looks like this:
\li Group<>::GridBuilder::SplitBuilder
\li Group<>::GridBuilder
\li Group<>
This could continue ad. nauseam, but at some point, you may finish with a
builder, and you might want to continue manipulating the builder below it
on the stack. To do this, you simply call the End() method like so:
\code
.End()
\endcode
And now the stack is back to this:
\li Group<>::GridBuilder
\li Group<>
So you are again working with the grid builder. You can add more
BLayoutItems or BViews, or even more builders. Here's how it will all look
together.
\code
BLayoutBuilder::Group<>(B_HORIZONTAL)
// working with the Group builder
.AddGrid()
// working with the Group<>::GridBuilder
.AddSplit()
// working with the Group<>::GridBuilder::SplitBuilder
.End()
// back to the Group<>::GridBuilder
\endcode
