can do create another cpp file like screenview?

[Yunus ARI]

​hi everyone.

I have a screen what has a many elements inside. Therfore, screen has very long kode that difficult to control. I want to group some of this code in another cpp files. This new cpp file should be like original screenView.cpp. I want to write code in this file for configurate widgets that in the screenbase. I should be access everything inside screenbase.hpp. Especially, I want to override action functions in screenbase.hpp with this file.

​

I create a new class that based on screenview class. I thought it would work but it didn't.

​

I'm pretty new at c++. Maybe this is too easy or impossible. I don't know. Forgive if i'm wrong. Thank you for answer already. :)

The way screens are structured in C++ code in TouchGFX is that you have your Base class generated by the designer, and then a class in the gui/ folder that inherits from this generated class. This allows you to use the designer to generate _some_ code and let's you do the test.

Does that answer your question?

Hi @Martin KJELDSEN​ 

I couldn't explain myself well. I already using actual class under gui/ folder. I want a new cpp file under gui folder for use like view.cpp. I will try to explain myself with code.

I create a screen named screen. This screen has a button with action and a text.

Here is base file under generated/ for this screen;

/*********** Base.hpp file ***********/
 
class screenViewBase : public touchgfx::View<screenPresenter>
{
public:
 screenViewBase();
 virtual ~screenViewBase() {}
 virtual void setupScreen();
 
 /*
 * Virtual Action Handlers
 */
 virtual void buttonPres()
 {
 // Override and implement this function in screen
 }
 
protected:
 
 touchgfx::ButtonWithLabel Button;
 touchgfx::TextArea textArea;
}

Here is view file under gui/ for this screen;

/*********** view.hpp file ***********/
 
class screenView : public screenViewBase 
{
public:
 screenView();
 virtual ~screenView() {}
 virtual void setupScreen();
 
 /*
 * Virtual Action Handlers
 */
 virtual void buttonPres()
 {
 
 }
 
protected:
 
}

Here is a file what I want to create under gui/ for this screen;

/*********** new.hpp file ***********/
 
class testNew: public screenView
{
public:
 testNew();
 virtual ~testNew() {}
 
 /*
 * Virtual Action Handlers
 */
 void buttonPres()
 {
 textArea.setVisible(true);
 textArea.invalidate();
 }
 
protected:
 
}

This is what I want to do. I hope this explains well the situation.

hi @Martin KJELDSEN​ 

Is there any clue you can give about that? I am trying several things but there is any solution yet.

I may not be understanding you correctly, but I have added files in the screen1_screen folder (or whatever you name your screen in the designer) and it compiled.

I have also added files in the gui/common folder and it has compiled and worked well.

Are you placing the hpp files in the "include" section and the cpp files in the src section?

It's not what I want to do. I want to split view file for improve code readability.
