10 @class wxListBox
11
12 A listbox is used to select one or more of a list of strings.
13
14 The strings are displayed in a scrolling box, with the selected string(s)
15 marked in reverse video. A listbox can be single selection (if an item is
16 selected, the previous selection is removed) or multiple selection
17 (clicking an item toggles the item on or off independently of other
18 selections).
19
20 List box elements are numbered from zero.
21 Their number may be limited under some platforms.
22
23 A listbox callback gets an event @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_SELECTED for
24 single clicks, and @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_DOUBLECLICKED for double clicks.
25
26 @beginStyleTable
27 @style{wxLB_SINGLE}
28 Single-selection list.
29 @style{wxLB_MULTIPLE}
30 Multiple-selection list: the user can toggle multiple items on and off.
31 This is the same as wxLB_EXTENDED in wxGTK2 port.
32 @style{wxLB_EXTENDED}
33 Extended-selection list: the user can extend the selection by using
34 @c SHIFT or @c CTRL keys together with the cursor movement keys or
35 the mouse.
36 @style{wxLB_HSCROLL}
37 Create horizontal scrollbar if contents are too wide (Windows only).
38 @style{wxLB_ALWAYS_SB}
39 Always show a vertical scrollbar.
40 @style{wxLB_NEEDED_SB}
41 Only create a vertical scrollbar if needed.
42 @style{wxLB_NO_SB}
43 Don't create vertical scrollbar (wxMSW only).
44 @style{wxLB_SORT}
45 The listbox contents are sorted in alphabetical order.
46 @endStyleTable
47
48 Note that @c wxLB_SINGLE, @c wxLB_MULTIPLE and @c wxLB_EXTENDED styles are
49 mutually exclusive and you can specify at most one of them (single selection
50 is the default). See also @ref overview_windowstyles.
51
52 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
53 @event{EVT_LISTBOX(id, func)}
54 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_SELECTED event, when an item on the
55 list is selected or the selection changes.
56 @event{EVT_LISTBOX_DCLICK(id, func)}
57 Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_DOUBLECLICKED event, when the listbox
58 is double-clicked.
