Dear LyX Developers,
Thank you to everyone who provided suggestions. I finally managed to get it to
work. For my own notes (and the wonderful list archives), here is a summary
what was needed to use toggle-dialog:
1.) Create a DockWidget container that is similar to GuiToc, GuiProgressView,
or GuiViewSource.
...
GuiTestMod::GuiTestMod(GuiView & parent, Qt::DockWidgetArea area,
Qt::WindowFlags flags) : DockView(parent, "testmod", qt_("Testmod"), area,
flags),
is_closing_(false)
...
2.) Add an entry to the "dialognames[]" structure:
Char const * const dialognames[] = {"aboutlyx", "bibitem", ... "progress",
"testmod"};
3.) Define a createTestMod method in GuiView::build( ... ):
...
Dialog *createGuiTestMod(GuiView & lv);
...
if (name == "corkboard")
return createGuiTestMod(*this);
4.) Add an entry to stdmenus.inc or stdtoolbars.inc so that it appears in the
LyX UI:
Item "Test Model Dialog" "dialog-toggle testmod"
Again, thank you everyone for the help. Your comments saved me hours of
poking, prodding and head scratching.
Cheers,
Rob
