221 @class wxComboCtrl
222
223 A combo control is a generic combobox that allows totally custom popup. In
224 addition it has other customization features. For instance, position and
225 size of the dropdown button can be changed.
226
227 @section comboctrl_custompopup Setting Custom Popup for wxComboCtrl
228
229 wxComboCtrl needs to be told somehow which control to use and this is done
230 by SetPopupControl(). However, we need something more than just a wxControl
231 in this method as, for example, we need to call
232 SetStringValue("initial text value") and wxControl doesn't have such
233 method. So we also need a wxComboPopup which is an interface which must be
234 implemented by a control to be usable as a popup.
235
236 We couldn't derive wxComboPopup from wxControl as this would make it
237 impossible to have a class deriving from a wxWidgets control and from it,
238 so instead it is just a mix-in.
239
240 Here's a minimal sample of wxListView popup:
241
242 @code
243 #include <wx/combo.h>
244 #include <wx/listctrl.h>
245
246 class wxListViewComboPopup : public wxListView, public wxComboPopup
247 {
248 public:
249 // Initialize member variables
250 virtual void Init()
251 {
252 m_value = -1;
253 }
254
255 // Create popup control
256 virtual bool Create(wxWindow* parent)
257 {
258 return wxListView::Create(parent,1,wxPoint(0,0),wxDefaultSize);
259 }
260
261 // Return pointer to the created control
262 virtual wxWindow *GetControl() { return this; }
263
264 // Translate string into a list selection
265 virtual void SetStringValue(const wxString& s)
266 {
267 int n = wxListView::FindItem(-1,s);
268 if ( n >= 0 && n < wxListView::GetItemCount() )
269 wxListView::Select(n);
270 }
271
272 // Get list selection as a string
273 virtual wxString GetStringValue() const
274 {
275 if ( m_value >= 0 )
276 return wxListView::GetItemText(m_value);
277 return wxEmptyString;
278 }
279
280 // Do mouse hot-tracking (which is typical in list popups)
281 void OnMouseMove(wxMouseEvent& event)
282 {
283 // TODO: Move selection to cursor
284 }
285
286 // On mouse left up, set the value and close the popup
287 void OnMouseClick(wxMouseEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
288 {
289 m_value = wxListView::GetFirstSelected();
290
291 // TODO: Send event as well
292
293 Dismiss();
294 }
295
296 protected:
297
298 int m_value; // current item index

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