1 | \section{\class{wxWindow}}\label{wxwindow} |
2 | ||
4130b487 RR |
3 | wxWindow is the base class for all windows. Any children of the window will be deleted |
4 | automatically by the destructor before the window itself is deleted. | |
5 | ||
6 | Please note that we documented a number of handler functions (OnChar(), OnMouse() etc.) in this | |
7 | help text. These must not be called by a user program and are documented only for illustration. | |
8 | On several platforms, only a few of these handlers are actually written (they are not always | |
9 | needed) and if you are uncertain on how to add a certain behaviour to a window class, intercept | |
10 | the respective event as usual and call \helpref{wxEvent::Skip}{wxeventskip} so that the native | |
11 | platform can implement its native behaviour or just ignore the event if nothing needs to be | |
12 | done. | |

224 | \membersection{wxWindow::Close}\label{wxwindowclose} |
225 | ||
226 | \func{virtual bool}{Close}{\param{const bool}{ force = FALSE}} | |
227 | ||
228 | The purpose of this call is to provide a safer way of destroying a window than using | |
229 | the {\it delete} operator. | |
230 | ||
231 | \wxheading{Parameters} | |
232 | ||
233 | \docparam{force}{FALSE if the window's close handler should be able to veto the destruction | |
234 | of this window, TRUE if it cannot.} | |
235 | ||
236 | \wxheading{Remarks} | |
237 | ||
238 | Close calls the \helpref{close handler}{wxcloseevent} for the window, providing an opportunity for the window to | |
239 | choose whether to destroy the window. | |
240 | ||
241 | The close handler should check whether the window is being deleted forcibly, | |
242 | using \helpref{wxCloseEvent::GetForce}{wxcloseeventgetforce}, in which case it should | |
243 | destroy the window using \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy}. | |
244 | ||
245 | Applies to managed windows (wxFrame and wxDialog classes) only. | |
246 | ||
532372a3 JS |
247 | {\it Note} that calling Close does not guarantee that the window will be destroyed; but it |
248 | provides a way to simulate a manual close of a window, which may or may not be implemented by | |
249 | destroying the window. The default implementation of wxDialog::OnCloseWindow does not | |
250 | necessarily delete the dialog, since it will simply simulate an wxID\_CANCEL event which | |
251 | itself only hides the dialog. | |
252 | ||
253 | To guarantee that the window will be destroyed, call \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy} instead. | |

265 | ||
266 | \func{wxSize}{ConvertDialogToPixels}{\param{const wxSize\&}{ sz}} | |
267 | ||
268 | Converts a point or size from dialog units to pixels. | |
269 | ||
270 | For the x dimension, the dialog units are multiplied by the average character width | |
271 | and then divided by 4. | |
272 | ||
273 | For the y dimension, the dialog units are multiplied by the average character height | |
274 | and then divided by 8. | |
275 | ||
276 | \wxheading{Remarks} | |
277 | ||
278 | Dialog units are used for maintaining a dialog's proportions even if the font changes. | |
279 | Dialogs created using Dialog Editor optionally use dialog units. | |
280 | ||
281 | You can also use these functions programmatically. A convenience macro is defined: | |

949 | This member function is called in response to a keypress. To intercept this event, | |

970 | \func{void}{OnCharHook}{\param{wxKeyEvent\&}{ event}} | |
971 | ||
972 | This member is called to allow the window to intercept keyboard events | |
973 | before they are processed by child windows. | |

979 | ||
980 | \wxheading{Remarks} | |
981 | ||
982 | This member function is called in response to a keypress, if the window is active. To intercept this event, | |
983 | use the EVT\_CHAR\_HOOK macro in an event table definition. If you do not process a particular | |
984 | keypress, call \helpref{wxEvent::Skip}{wxeventskip} to allow default processing. | |
985 | ||
986 | An example of using this function is in the implementation of escape-character processing for wxDialog, | |
987 | where pressing ESC dismisses the dialog by {\bf OnCharHook} 'forging' a cancel button press event. | |
988 | ||
989 | Note that the ASCII values do not have explicit key codes: they are passed as ASCII | |
990 | values. | |
991 | ||
992 | This function is only relevant to top-level windows (frames and dialogs), and under | |
6453876e RR |
993 | Windows only. Under GTK the normal EVT\_CHAR\_ event has the functionality, i.e. |
994 | you can intercepts it and if you don't call \helpref{wxEvent::Skip}{wxeventskip} | |
995 | the window won't get the event. | |

1052 | \func{void}{OnCloseWindow}{\param{wxCloseEvent\& }{event}} | |
1053 | ||
1054 | This is an event handler function called when the user has tried to close a a frame | |
1055 | or dialog box using the window manager (X) or system menu (Windows). It is | |
1056 | called via the \helpref{wxWindow::Close}{wxwindowclose} function, so | |
1057 | that the application can also invoke the handler programmatically. | |
1058 | ||
1059 | Use the EVT\_CLOSE event table macro to handle close events. | |
1060 | ||
1061 | You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window | |
1062 | using \helpref{wxCloseEvent::GetForce}{wxcloseeventgetforce}. If this is TRUE, | |
1063 | destroy the window using \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy}. | |
1064 | If not, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying the window. | |
1065 | ||
387a3b02 JS |
1066 | (Note: GetForce is now superceded by CanVeto. So to test whether forced destruction of |
1067 | the window is required, test for the negative of CanVeto. If CanVeto returns FALSE, | |
1068 | it is not possible to skip window deletion.) | |
1069 | ||
1070 | If you don't destroy the window, you should call \helpref{wxCloseEvent::Veto}{wxcloseeventveto} to | |
1071 | let the calling code know that you did not destroy the window. This allows the \helpref{wxWindow::Close}{wxwindowclose} function | |
1072 | to return TRUE or FALSE depending on whether the close instruction was honoured or not. | |

1076 | The \helpref{wxWindow::OnClose}{wxwindowonclose} virtual function remains | |
1077 | for backward compatibility with earlier versions of wxWindows. The | |
1078 | default {\bf OnCloseWindow} handler for wxFrame and wxDialog will call {\bf OnClose}, | |
1079 | destroying the window if it returns TRUE or if the close is being forced. | |

1358 | \wxheading{Remarks} | |
1359 | ||
1360 | Use the EVT\_PAINT macro in an event table definition to intercept paint events. | |
1361 | ||
1362 | In a paint event handler, the application should always create a \helpref{wxPaintDC}{wxpaintdc} object. | |
1363 | ||
1364 | For example: | |
1365 | ||
1366 | \small{% | |
1367 | \begin{verbatim} | |
1368 | void MyWindow::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& event) | |
1369 | { | |
1370 | wxPaintDC dc(this); | |
1371 | ||
1372 | DrawMyDocument(dc); | |
1373 | } | |
1374 | \end{verbatim} | |
1375 | }% | |
1376 | ||
1377 | You can optimize painting by retrieving the rectangles | |
1378 | that have been damaged and only repainting these. The rectangles are in | |
1379 | terms of the client area, and are unscrolled, so you will need to do | |
1380 | some calculations using the current view position to obtain logical, | |
1381 | scrolled units. | |
1382 | ||
76c5df24 | 1383 | Here is an example of using the \helpref{wxRegionIterator}{wxregioniterator} class: |

1814 | ||
1815 | \wxheading{Remarks} | |
1816 | ||
1817 | An event handler is an object that is capable of processing the events | |
1818 | sent to a window. By default, the window is its own event handler, but | |
1819 | an application may wish to substitute another, for example to allow | |
1820 | central implementation of event-handling for a variety of different | |
1821 | window classes. | |
1822 | ||
1823 | It is usually better to use \helpref{wxWindow::PushEventHandler}{wxwindowpusheventhandler} since | |
1824 | this sets up a chain of event handlers, where an event not handled by one event handler is | |

1971 | ||
1972 | \wxheading{Remarks} | |
1973 | ||
1974 | Let's say you wish to display 50 lines of text, using the same font. | |
1975 | The window is sized so that you can only see 16 lines at a time. | |
1976 | ||
1977 | You would use: | |
1978 | ||
1979 | {\small% | |
1980 | \begin{verbatim} | |
1981 | SetScrollbar(wxVERTICAL, 0, 16, 50); | |
1982 | \end{verbatim} | |
1983 | } | |
1984 | ||
1985 | Note that with the window at this size, the thumb position can never go | |
1986 | above 50 minus 16, or 34. | |
1987 | ||
1988 | You can determine how many lines are currently visible by dividing the current view | |
1989 | size by the character height in pixels. | |
1990 | ||
1991 | When defining your own scrollbar behaviour, you will always need to recalculate | |
1992 | the scrollbar settings when the window size changes. You could therefore put your | |
1993 | scrollbar calculations and SetScrollbar | |
1994 | call into a function named AdjustScrollbars, which can be called initially and also | |
1995 | from your \helpref{wxWindow::OnSize}{wxwindowonsize} event handler function. | |

2016 | ||
2017 | \wxheading{Remarks} | |
2018 | ||
2019 | The page size of a scrollbar is the number of scroll units that the scroll thumb travels when you | |
2020 | click on the area above/left of or below/right of the thumb. Normally you will want a whole visible | |
2021 | page to be scrolled, i.e. the size of the current view (perhaps the window client size). This | |
2022 | value has to be adjusted when the window is resized, since the page size will have changed. | |
2023 | ||
2024 | In addition to specifying how far the scroll thumb travels when paging, in Motif and some versions of Windows | |
2025 | the thumb changes size to reflect the page size relative to the length of the document. When the | |
2026 | document size is only slightly bigger than the current view (window) size, almost all of the scrollbar | |
2027 | will be taken up by the thumb. When the two values become the same, the scrollbar will (on some systems) | |
2028 | disappear. | |
2029 | ||
2030 | Currently, this function should be called before SetPageRange, because of a quirk in the Windows | |
2031 | handling of pages and ranges. | |

2084 | The range of a scrollbar is the number of steps that the thumb may travel, rather than the total | |
fe604ccd JS |
2085 | object length of the scrollbar. If you are implementing a scrolling window, for example, you |
2086 | would adjust the scroll range when the window is resized, by subtracting the window view size from the | |
2087 | total virtual window size. When the two sizes are the same (all the window is visible), the range goes to zero | |
a660d684 KB |
2088 | and usually the scrollbar will be automatically hidden. |

2173 | Allows specification of minimum and maximum window sizes, and window size increments. | |
2174 | If a pair of values is not set (or set to -1), the default values will be used. | |
2175 | ||
2176 | \wxheading{Parameters} | |
2177 | ||
2178 | \docparam{minW}{Specifies the minimum width allowable.} | |
2179 | ||
2180 | \docparam{minH}{Specifies the minimum height allowable.} | |
2181 | ||
2182 | \docparam{maxW}{Specifies the maximum width allowable.} | |
2183 | ||
2184 | \docparam{maxH}{Specifies the maximum height allowable.} | |
2185 | ||
2186 | \docparam{incW}{Specifies the increment for sizing the width (Motif/Xt only).} | |
2187 | ||
2188 | \docparam{incH}{Specifies the increment for sizing the height (Motif/Xt only).} | |
2189 | ||
2190 | \wxheading{Remarks} | |
2191 | ||
2192 | If this function is called, the user will not be able to size the window outside the | |
2193 | given bounds. | |
2194 | ||
2195 | The resizing increments are only significant under Motif or Xt. | |

2198 | ||
2199 | \func{void}{SetSizer}{\param{wxSizer* }{sizer}} | |
2200 | ||
2201 | Sets the window to have the given layout sizer. The window | |
2202 | will then own the object, and will take care of its deletion. | |
2203 | If an existing layout constraints object is already owned by the | |
2204 | window, it will be deleted. | |
2205 | ||
2206 | \wxheading{Parameters} | |
2207 | ||
2208 | \docparam{sizer}{The sizer to set. Pass NULL to disassociate and delete the window's | |
2209 | sizer.} | |
2210 | ||
2211 | \wxheading{Remarks} | |
2212 | ||
2213 | You must call \helpref{wxWindow::SetAutoLayout}{wxwindowsetautolayout} to tell a window to use | |
2214 | the sizer automatically in OnSize; otherwise, you must override OnSize and call Layout() | |
2215 | explicitly. When setting both a wxSizer and a \helpref{wxLayoutConstraints}{wxlayoutconstraints}, | |
2216 | only the sizer will have effect. | |
