10 @class wxComboBox
11
12 A combobox is like a combination of an edit control and a listbox.
13
14 It can be displayed as static list with editable or read-only text field;
15 or a drop-down list with text field; or a drop-down list without a text
16 field depending on the platform and presence of wxCB_READONLY style.
17
18 A combobox permits a single selection only. Combobox items are numbered
19 from zero.
20
21 If you need a customized combobox, have a look at wxComboCtrl,
22 wxOwnerDrawnComboBox, wxComboPopup and the ready-to-use wxBitmapComboBox.
23
24 Please refer to wxTextEntry documentation for the description of methods
25 operating with the text entry part of the combobox and to wxItemContainer
26 for the methods operating with the list of strings. Notice that at least
27 under MSW wxComboBox doesn't behave correctly if it contains strings
28 differing in case only so portable programs should avoid adding such
29 strings to this control.
30
31 @beginStyleTable
32 @style{wxCB_SIMPLE}
33 Creates a combobox with a permanently displayed list. Windows only.
34 @style{wxCB_DROPDOWN}
35 Creates a combobox with a drop-down list. MSW and Motif only.
36 @style{wxCB_READONLY}
37 A combobox with this style behaves like a wxChoice (and may look in
38 the same way as well, although this is platform-dependent), i.e. it
39 allows the user to choose from the list of options but doesn't allow
40 to enter a value not present in the list.
41 @style{wxCB_SORT}
42 Sorts the entries in the list alphabetically.
43 @style{wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER}
44 The control will generate the event @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER
45 (otherwise pressing Enter key is either processed internally by the
46 control or used for navigation between dialog controls). Windows
47 only.
48 @endStyleTable
49
50 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
51 @event{EVT_COMBOBOX(id, func)}
52 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_SELECTED event, when an item on
53 the list is selected. Note that calling GetValue() returns the new
54 value of selection.
55 @event{EVT_TEXT(id, func)}
56 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED event, when the combobox text
57 changes.
58 @event{EVT_TEXT_ENTER(id, func)}
59 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER event, when RETURN is pressed in
60 the combobox (notice that the combobox must have been created with
61 wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER style to receive this event).
62 @event{EVT_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN(id, func)}
63 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN event, which is generated
64 when the list box part of the combo box is shown (drops down).
65 Notice that this event is currently only supported by wxMSW and
66 wxGTK with GTK+ 2.10 or later.
67 @event{EVT_COMBOBOX_CLOSEUP(id, func)}
68 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_CLOSEUP event, which is generated
69 when the list box of the combo box disappears (closes up). This
70 event is only generated for the same platforms as
71 @c wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN above. Also note that only wxMSW
72 supports adding or deleting items in this event.
