208 @class wxComboCtrl
209
210 A combo control is a generic combobox that allows totally custom popup. In
211 addition it has other customization features. For instance, position and
212 size of the dropdown button can be changed.
213
214 @section comboctrl_custompopup Setting Custom Popup for wxComboCtrl
215
216 wxComboCtrl needs to be told somehow which control to use and this is done
217 by SetPopupControl(). However, we need something more than just a wxControl
218 in this method as, for example, we need to call
219 SetStringValue("initial text value") and wxControl doesn't have such
220 method. So we also need a wxComboPopup which is an interface which must be
221 implemented by a control to be usable as a popup.
222
223 We couldn't derive wxComboPopup from wxControl as this would make it
224 impossible to have a class deriving from a wxWidgets control and from it,
225 so instead it is just a mix-in.
226
227 Here's a minimal sample of wxListView popup:
228
229 @code
230 #include <wx/combo.h>
231 #include <wx/listctrl.h>
232
233 class wxListViewComboPopup : public wxListView, public wxComboPopup
234 {
235 public:
236 // Initialize member variables
237 virtual void Init()
238 {
239 m_value = -1;
240 }
241
242 // Create popup control
243 virtual bool Create(wxWindow* parent)
244 {
245 return wxListView::Create(parent,1,wxPoint(0,0),wxDefaultSize);
246 }
247
248 // Return pointer to the created control
249 virtual wxWindow *GetControl() { return this; }
250
251 // Translate string into a list selection
252 virtual void SetStringValue(const wxString& s)
253 {
254 int n = wxListView::FindItem(-1,s);
255 if ( n >= 0 && n < wxListView::GetItemCount() )
256 wxListView::Select(n);
257 }
258
259 // Get list selection as a string
260 virtual wxString GetStringValue() const
261 {
262 if ( m_value >= 0 )
263 return wxListView::GetItemText(m_value);
264 return wxEmptyString;
265 }
266
267 // Do mouse hot-tracking (which is typical in list popups)
268 void OnMouseMove(wxMouseEvent& event)
269 {
270 // TODO: Move selection to cursor
271 }
272
273 // On mouse left up, set the value and close the popup
274 void OnMouseClick(wxMouseEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
275 {
276 m_value = wxListView::GetFirstSelected();
277
278 // TODO: Send event as well
279
280 Dismiss();
281 }
282
283 protected:
284
285 int m_value; // current item index

297 Here's how you would create and populate it in a dialog constructor:
298
299 @code
300 wxComboCtrl* comboCtrl = new wxComboCtrl(this, wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString);
301
302 wxListViewComboPopup* popupCtrl = new wxListViewComboPopup();
303
304 // It is important to call SetPopupControl() as soon as possible
305 comboCtrl->SetPopupControl(popupCtrl);
306
307 // Populate using wxListView methods
308 popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(), "First Item");
309 popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(), "Second Item");
310 popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(), "Third Item");
311 @endcode
312
313 @beginStyleTable
314 @style{wxCB_READONLY}
315 Text will not be editable.
316 @style{wxCB_SORT}
317 Sorts the entries in the list alphabetically.
318 @style{wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER}
319 The control will generate the event @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER
320 (otherwise pressing Enter key is either processed internally by the
321 control or used for navigation between dialog controls). Windows
322 only.
323 @style{wxCC_SPECIAL_DCLICK}
324 Double-clicking triggers a call to popup's OnComboDoubleClick.
325 Actual behaviour is defined by a derived class. For instance,
326 wxOwnerDrawnComboBox will cycle an item. This style only applies if
327 wxCB_READONLY is used as well.
328 @style{wxCC_STD_BUTTON}
329 Drop button will behave more like a standard push button.
330 @endStyleTable
331
332 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
333 @event{EVT_TEXT(id, func)}
334 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED event, when the text changes.
335 @event{EVT_TEXT_ENTER(id, func)}
336 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER event, when RETURN is pressed in
337 the combo control.
338 @event{EVT_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN(id, func)}
339 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN event, which is generated
340 when the popup window is shown (drops down).
341 @event{EVT_COMBOBOX_CLOSEUP(id, func)}
342 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_CLOSEUP event, which is generated
343 when the popup window of the combo control disappears (closes up).
344 You should avoid adding or deleting items in this event.
