	1	\section{\class{wxValidator}}\label{wxvalidator}
	2
	3	wxValidator is the base class for a family of validator classes that mediate
	4	between a class of control, and application data.
	5
	6	A validator has three major roles:
	7
	8	\begin{enumerate}\itemsep=0pt
	9	\item to transfer data from a C++ variable or own storage to and from a control;
	10	\item to validate data in a control, and show an appropriate error message;
	11	\item to filter events (such as keystrokes), thereby changing the behaviour of the
	12	associated control.
	13	\end{enumerate}
	14
	15	Validators can be plugged into controls dynamically.
	16
	17	To specify a default, `null' validator, use the symbol {\bf wxDefaultValidator}.
	18
	19	For more information, please see \helpref{Validator overview}{validatoroverview}.

	38	\func{}{wxValidator}{\void}
	39
	40	Constructor.
	41
	42	\membersection{wxValidator::\destruct{wxValidator}}
	43
	44	\func{}{\destruct{wxValidator}}{\void}
	45
	46	Destructor.

	48	\membersection{wxValidator::Clone}\label{wxvalidatorclone}
	49
	50	\constfunc{virtual wxValidator*}{Clone}{\void}
	51
	52	All validator classes must implement the {\bf Clone} function, which returns
	53	an identical copy of itself. This is because validators are passed to control
	54	constructors as references which must be copied. Unlike objects such as pens
	55	and brushes, it does not make sense to have a reference counting scheme
	56	to do this cloning, because all validators should have separate
	57	data.
	58
	59	This base function returns NULL.
	60
	61	\membersection{wxValidator::GetWindow}\label{wxvalidatorgetwindow}
	62
	63	\constfunc{wxWindow*}{GetWindow}{\void}
	64
	65	Returns the window associated with the validator.
	66
	67	\membersection{wxValidator::SetBellOnError}{wxvalidatorsetbellonerror}
	68
	69	\func{void}{SetBellOnError}{\param{bool}{ doIt = TRUE}}
	70
	71	This functions switches on or turns off the error sound produced by the
	72	validators if an invalid key is pressed.
	73
	74	\membersection{wxValidator::SetWindow}\label{wxvalidatorsetwindow}
	75
	76	\func{void}{SetWindow}{\param{wxWindow*}{ window}}
	77
	78	Associates a window with the validator.
	79
	80	\membersection{wxValidator::TransferFromWindow}\label{wxvalidatortransferfromwindow}
	81
	82	\func{virtual bool}{TransferToWindow}{\param{wxWindow*}{ parent}}
	83
	84	This overridable function is called when the value in the window must be
	85	transferred to the validator. Return FALSE if there is a problem.
	86
	87	\membersection{wxValidator::TransferToWindow}\label{wxvalidatortransfertowindow}
	88
	89	\func{virtual bool}{TransferToWindow}{\param{wxWindow*}{ parent}}
	90
	91	This overridable function is called when the value associated with the validator must be
	92	transferred to the window. Return FALSE if there is a problem.
	93
	94	\membersection{wxValidator::Validate}\label{wxvalidatorvalidate}
	95
	96	\func{virtual bool}{Validate}{\param{wxWindow*}{ parent}}
	97
	98	This overridable function is called when the value in the associated window must be validated.
	99	Return FALSE if the value in the window is not valid; you may pop up an error dialog.
