13
14 A combo control is a generic combobox that allows totally
15 custom popup. In addition it has other customization features.
16 For instance, position and size of the dropdown button
17 can be changed.
18
19 \wxheading{Setting Custom Popup for wxComboCtrl}
20
21 wxComboCtrl needs to be told somehow which control to use
22 and this is done by SetPopupControl(). However, we need
23 something more than just a wxControl in this method as,
24 for example, we need to call SetStringValue("initial text value")
25 and wxControl doesn't have such method. So we also need a
26 \helpref{wxComboPopup}{wxcombopopup} which is an interface which
27 must be implemented by a control to be usable as a popup.
28
29 We couldn't derive wxComboPopup from wxControl as this would make it
30 impossible to have a class deriving from a wxWidgets control and from
31 it, so instead it is just a mix-in.
32
33 Here's a minimal sample of \helpref{wxListView}{wxlistview} popup:
34
35 \begin{verbatim}
36
37 #include <wx/combo.h>
38 #include <wx/listctrl.h>
39
40 class wxListViewComboPopup : public wxListView,
41 public wxComboPopup
42 {
43 public:
44
45 // Initialize member variables
46 virtual void Init()
47 {
48 m_value = -1;
49 }
50
51 // Create popup control
52 virtual bool Create(wxWindow* parent)
53 {
54 return wxListView::Create(parent,1,wxPoint(0,0),wxDefaultSize);
55 }
56
57 // Return pointer to the created control
58 virtual wxWindow *GetControl() { return this; }
59
60 // Translate string into a list selection
61 virtual void SetStringValue(const wxString& s)
62 {
63 int n = wxListView::FindItem(-1,s);
64 if ( n >= 0 && n < wxListView::GetItemCount() )
65 wxListView::Select(n);
66 }
67
68 // Get list selection as a string
69 virtual wxString GetStringValue() const
70 {
71 if ( m_value >= 0 )
72 return wxListView::GetItemText(m_value);
73 return wxEmptyString;
74 }
75
76 // Do mouse hot-tracking (which is typical in list popups)
77 void OnMouseMove(wxMouseEvent& event)
78 {
79 // TODO: Move selection to cursor
80 }
81
82 // On mouse left up, set the value and close the popup
83 void OnMouseClick(wxMouseEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
84 {
85 m_value = wxListView::GetFirstSelected();
86
87 // TODO: Send event as well
88
89 Dismiss();
90 }
91
92 protected:
93
94 int m_value; // current item index
95
96 private:
97 DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE()
98 };
99
100 BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(wxListViewComboPopup, wxListView)
101 EVT_MOTION(wxListViewComboPopup::OnMouseMove)
102 EVT_LEFT_UP(wxListViewComboPopup::OnMouseClick)
103 END_EVENT_TABLE()
104
105 \end{verbatim}
106
107 Here's how you would create and populate it in a dialog constructor:
108
109 \begin{verbatim}
110
111 wxComboCtrl* comboCtrl = new wxComboCtrl(this,wxID_ANY,wxEmptyString);
112
113 wxListViewComboPopup* popupCtrl = new wxListViewComboPopup();
114
115 comboCtrl->SetPopupControl(popupCtrl);
116
117 // Populate using wxListView methods
118 popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(),wxT("First Item"));
119 popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(),wxT("Second Item"));
120 popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(),wxT("Third Item"));
121

217
218 \func{virtual bool}{AnimateShow}{\param{const wxRect\& }{rect}, \param{int }{flags}}
219
220 This member function is not normally called in application code.
221 Instead, it can be implemented in a derived class to create a
222 custom popup animation.
223
224 \wxheading{Parameters}
225
226 Same as in \helpref{DoShowPopup}{wxcomboctrldoshowpopup}.
227
228 \wxheading{Return value}
229
230 \true if animation finishes before the function returns.
231 \false otherwise. In the latter case you need to manually call DoShowPopup
232 after the animation ends.

234
235 \membersection{wxComboCtrl::Create}\label{wxcomboctrlcreate}
236
237 \func{bool}{Create}{\param{wxWindow*}{ parent}, \param{wxWindowID}{ id},\rtfsp

239 \param{long}{ style = 0}, \param{const wxValidator\& }{validator = wxDefaultValidator}, \param{const wxString\& }{name = ``comboCtrl"}}
240
241 Creates the combo control for two-step construction. Derived classes
242 should call or replace this function. See \helpref{wxComboCtrl::wxComboCtrl}{wxcomboctrlctor}\rtfsp
243 for further details.
244
245
246 \membersection{wxComboCtrl::Copy}\label{wxcomboctrlcopy}

261
262 \func{void}{DoSetPopupControl}{\param{wxComboPopup* }{popup}}
263
264 This member function is not normally called in application code.
265 Instead, it can be implemented in a derived class to return
266 default wxComboPopup, incase {\tt popup} is NULL.
267
268 \textbf{Note:} If you have implemented OnButtonClick to do
269 something else than show the popup, then DoSetPopupControl
270 must always return NULL.

275 \func{virtual void}{DoShowPopup}{\param{const wxRect\& }{rect}, \param{int }{flags}}
276
277 This member function is not normally called in application code.
278 Instead, it must be called in a derived class to make sure popup
279 is properly shown after a popup animation has finished (but only
280 if \helpref{AnimateShow}{wxcomboctrlanimateshow} did not finish
281 the animation within it's function scope).
282

599 \membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetPopupAnchor}\label{wxcomboctrlsetpopupanchor}
600
601 \func{void}{SetPopupAnchor}{\param{int }{anchorSide}}
602
603 Set side of the control to which the popup will align itself. Valid values are
604 {\tt wxLEFT}, {\tt wxRIGHT} and $0$. The default value $0$ means that the most appropriate
605 side is used (which, currently, is always {\tt wxLEFT}).
606
607
608 \membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetPopupControl}\label{wxcomboctrlsetpopupcontrol}
609
610 \func{void}{SetPopupControl}{\param{wxComboPopup* }{popup}}
611
612 Set popup interface class derived from wxComboPopup.
613 This method should be called as soon as possible after the control
614 has been created, unless \helpref{OnButtonClick}{wxcomboctrlonbuttonclick}
615 has been overridden.
616
617
618 \membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetPopupExtents}\label{wxcomboctrlsetpopupextents}
619
620 \func{void}{SetPopupExtents}{\param{int }{extLeft}, \param{int }{extRight}}
621
622 Extends popup size horizontally, relative to the edges of the combo control.
623
624 \wxheading{Parameters}
625
626 \docparam{extLeft}{How many pixel to extend beyond the left edge of the
627 control. Default is $0$.}
628 \docparam{extRight}{How many pixel to extend beyond the right edge of the
629 control. Default is $0$.}
630
631 \wxheading{Remarks}
632
633 Popup minimum width may override arguments.
634
635 It is up to the popup to fully take this into account.
636
637
638 \membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetPopupMaxHeight}\label{wxcomboctrlsetpopupmaxheight}
639
640 \func{void}{SetPopupMaxHeight}{\param{int }{height}}
641
642 Sets preferred maximum height of the popup.
643
644 \wxheading{Remarks}
645
646 Value -1 indicates the default.
647
648 Also, popup implementation may choose to ignore this.
649
650
651 \membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetPopupMinWidth}\label{wxcomboctrlsetpopupminwidth}
652
653 \func{void}{SetPopupMinWidth}{\param{int }{width}}
654
655 Sets minimum width of the popup. If wider than combo control, it will extend to the left.
656
657 \wxheading{Remarks}
658
659 Value -1 indicates the default.
660
661 Also, popup implementation may choose to ignore this.
662
663
664 \membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetSelection}\label{wxcomboctrlsetselection}
665
666 \func{void}{SetSelection}{\param{long }{from}, \param{long }{to}}
667
668 Selects the text between the two positions, in the combo control text field.
669
670 \wxheading{Parameters}
671
672 \docparam{from}{The first position.}
673
674 \docparam{to}{The second position.}
675
676
677 \membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetText}\label{wxcomboctrlsettext}
678
679 \func{void}{SetText}{\param{const wxString\& }{value}}
680
681 Sets the text for the text field without affecting the
682 popup. Thus, unlike \helpref{SetValue}{wxcomboctrlsetvalue}, it works
683 equally well with combo control using {\tt wxCB\_READONLY} style.
684
685
686 \membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetTextIndent}\label{wxcomboctrlsettextindent}
687
688 \func{void}{SetTextIndent}{\param{int }{indent}}
689
690 This will set the space in pixels between left edge of the control and the
691 text, regardless whether control is read-only or not. Value -1 can be
692 given to indicate platform default.
693
694
695 \membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetValue}\label{wxcomboctrlsetvalue}
696
697 \func{void}{SetValue}{\param{const wxString\& }{value}}
698
699 Sets the text for the combo control text field.
700
701 {\bf NB:} For a combo control with {\tt wxCB\_READONLY} style the
702 string must be accepted by the popup (for instance, exist in the dropdown
703 list), otherwise the call to SetValue() is ignored
704
705
706 \membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetValueWithEvent}\label{wxcomboctrlsetvaluewithevent}
707
708 \func{void}{SetValueWithEvent}{\param{const wxString\& }{value}, \param{bool }{withEvent = true}}
709
710 Same as SetValue, but also sends wxCommandEvent of type wxEVT\_COMMAND\_TEXT\_UPDATED
711 if {\tt withEvent} is \true.
712
713
714 \membersection{wxComboCtrl::ShowPopup}\label{wxcomboctrlshowpopup}
715
716 \func{void}{ShowPopup}{\void}
717
718 Show the popup.
719
720
721 \membersection{wxComboCtrl::Undo}\label{wxcomboctrlundo}
722
723 \func{void}{Undo}{\void}
724
725 Undoes the last edit in the text field. Windows only.
726
727
728 \membersection{wxComboCtrl::UseAltPopupWindow}\label{wxcomboctrlusealtpopupwindow}
729
730 \func{void}{UseAltPopupWindow}{\param{bool }{enable = true}}
731
732 Enable or disable usage of an alternative popup window, which guarantees
733 ability to focus the popup control, and allows common native controls to
734 function normally. This alternative popup window is usually a wxDialog,
735 and as such, when it is shown, its parent top-level window will appear
736 as if the focus has been lost from it.
