Task And Set Dialogs

• How Task And Sets Are Assigned in Code

One of the main interface concepts presented to the user is the task and set dialogs.

The task and set dialogs can either be configured in code and associated with a particular operation, or can be constructed as part of a scripted task. The Add Set example shows how to add one by code and the Add Task shows how to add a task dialog either by code or by scripted task.

How Task And Sets Are Assigned in Code

The more complicated approach of creating a new task or set for an entity is by code. Using scripted tasks allows for gui design by variable selection or Qt Designer, and execution via the lua scripting language. Knowledge of C++ is not necessary to add a task or set in this manner. If, however, the dialog you need to create has more complexity than can be achieved using the scripted task dialog editor, then, you can use C++ to design and fill in your task. The base class for all task and set dialogs is makVrf::DtTaskSetDialogInterface, of which there are some general starter subclasses for dialogs, makVrf::DtBaseComboTaskSetDialog, makVrf::DtBaseFilteredListViewTaskSetDialog. These dialogs are general single use dialogs that are used as a foundation for adding other widgets to. The flow of creating a new task is as follows (note that the same is generally true for sets as well):

• Create your new task structure in the scripted task creation dialog (see VR-Forces Users Guide) to create a new system level scripted task.
• Create a new task dialog (a subclass from one of the appropriate base task dialog classes) to allow the user to enter in data to populate your new task:

        DtTaskRetreatDialog::DtTaskRetreatDialog(makVrv::DtDe& de, QWidget* parent, const Qt::WindowFlags& flags)
        : DtBaseComboTaskSetDialog(de, parent, flags)
        {
           setWindowTitle(tr("Retreat"));
        }

        void DtTaskRetreatDialog::initializeItems(const std::vector<makVrv::DtSimEntry*>& data)
        {
           myCombo->addItem(QObject::tr(" "));
           myCombo->addItem(QObject::tr("Retreat Immediately"));
           myCombo->addItem(QObject::tr("Hold Ground"));
        }
  
        QWidget* DtTaskRetreatDialog::contents(const std::vector<makVrv::DtSimEntry*>& data)
        {
           QWidget* layout = DtBaseComboTaskSetDialog::contents(data);
  
           myLabel->setText(tr("Retreat:"));
           myOKButton->setEnabled(false);
  
           return layout;
        }

• Implement the sendRequest method to take the user entered values and place them into your new scripted task. Note that the variable names in the scripted task assigned in code need to match the scripted task variables created in step 1:

        void DtTaskRetreatDialog::sendRequest()
        {
           DtScriptedTaskTask task;
  
           task.init();
  
           task.setScriptId("retreat-task");
           task.variables().addVariable(new DtRwInt("retreat", retreatKind()));
  
           sendTaskRequest(task);
  
           close();
        }

• Create a new menu action that can be added to the task menu and displayed when a selected object is registered to receive that task

        DtTaskRetreatAction::DtTaskRetreatAction(makVrv::DtDe& de)
           : DtVrfTaskSetMenuItem("DtTaskRetreatAction", de)
        {
           myId = DtVrfTaskSetDialogManager::instance(de).nextAvailableId();
  
           DtVrfTaskSetDialogManager::instance(de).addTaskDialogCreator(myId, new DtTaskRetreatDialogCreator);
  
           //Registers the new id with the task/set manager
           DtVrfTaskSetManager::instance(myDe).addAvailableTask(myId, DtSimTaskMessageType("retreat-task"));
        }
  
        DtTaskRetreatAction::~DtTaskRetreatAction()
        {
        }
  
        QAction* DtTaskRetreatAction::createAction( makVrv::DtDe&, QWidget* parent )
        {
           return registerMenuItem(makVrv::DtMenuItem::tr("Retreat (GUI)..."), parent, myId, "TaskRetreat");
        }

  Note that in the example above there are a additional concepts
  • Each new task item needs to have a unique id assigned to it

    myId = DtVrfTaskSetDialogManager::instance(de).nextAvailableId();

  • Register this new id with the makVrf::DtVrfTaskSetDialogManager to be brought up when this task is selected

    DtVrfTaskSetDialogManager::instance(de).addTaskDialogCreator(myId, new DtTaskRetreatDialogCreator);

  • Register the unique id of the menu action with the task type (scripted task id)

    DtVrfTaskSetManager::instance(myDe).addAvailableTask(myId, DtSimTaskMessageType("retreat-task"));

• Add the new task menu item to the task menu so it can be selected by the user

  void DtTaskMenuConfigurationLoaded(makVrv::DtDe* de)
  {
     //Inserts the DtTaskRetreatAction object name as the menu item into a specific point of the Set Menu with the masterModeMenuConfiguration
     //The set entry is placed after the menu entry corresponding to the "DtVrfSetResponsibilityAction" object
     DtVrfScenarioManager::instance(*de).initialTaskMenuConfiguration().addMenuItemAfter("DtTaskRetreatAction", "DtVrfTaskRotaryWingLandAction");
  }

Additionally, you might also want to replace an existing task dialog with one of your own to provide additional functionality. Note that for dialogs that are created only from scripted tasks (not code) you will need to edit the scripted task to change the dialog. For those that are registered and created in code
