177 @class wxComboCtrl
178
179 A combo control is a generic combobox that allows totally custom popup. In
180 addition it has other customization features. For instance, position and
181 size of the dropdown button can be changed.
182
183 @section comboctrl_custompopup Setting Custom Popup for wxComboCtrl
184
185 wxComboCtrl needs to be told somehow which control to use and this is done
186 by SetPopupControl(). However, we need something more than just a wxControl
187 in this method as, for example, we need to call
188 SetStringValue("initial text value") and wxControl doesn't have such
189 method. So we also need a wxComboPopup which is an interface which must be
190 implemented by a control to be usable as a popup.
191
192 We couldn't derive wxComboPopup from wxControl as this would make it
193 impossible to have a class deriving from a wxWidgets control and from it,
194 so instead it is just a mix-in.
195
196 Here's a minimal sample of wxListView popup:
197
198 @code
199 #include <wx/combo.h>
200 #include <wx/listctrl.h>
201
202 class wxListViewComboPopup : public wxListView, public wxComboPopup
203 {
204 public:
205 // Initialize member variables
206 virtual void Init()

209 }

211 // Create popup control

213 {
214 return wxListView::Create(parent,1,wxPoint(0,0),wxDefaultSize);
215 }

217 // Return pointer to the created control
218 virtual wxWindow *GetControl() { return this; }
219
220 // Translate string into a list selection
221 virtual void SetStringValue(const wxString& s)
222 {
223 int n = wxListView::FindItem(-1,s);
224 if ( n >= 0 && n < wxListView::GetItemCount() )
225 wxListView::Select(n);
226 }
227
228 // Get list selection as a string
229 virtual wxString GetStringValue() const
230 {
231 if ( m_value >= 0 )
232 return wxListView::GetItemText(m_value);
233 return wxEmptyString;
234 }
235
236 // Do mouse hot-tracking (which is typical in list popups)
237 void OnMouseMove(wxMouseEvent& event)
238 {
239 // TODO: Move selection to cursor
240 }
241
242 // On mouse left up, set the value and close the popup
243 void OnMouseClick(wxMouseEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
244 {
245 m_value = wxListView::GetFirstSelected();
246
247 // TODO: Send event as well
248
249 Dismiss();
250 }
251
252 protected:
253
254 int m_value; // current item index

266 Here's how you would create and populate it in a dialog constructor:
267
268 @code
269 wxComboCtrl* comboCtrl = new wxComboCtrl(this, wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString);
270
271 wxListViewComboPopup* popupCtrl = new wxListViewComboPopup();
272
273 // It is important to call SetPopupControl() as soon as possible
274 comboCtrl->SetPopupControl(popupCtrl);
275
276 // Populate using wxListView methods
277 popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(), "First Item");
278 popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(), "Second Item");
279 popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(), "Third Item");
280 @endcode
281
282 @beginStyleTable
283 @style{wxCB_READONLY}
284 Text will not be editable.
285 @style{wxCB_SORT}
286 Sorts the entries in the list alphabetically.
287 @style{wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER}
288 The control will generate the event wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER
289 (otherwise pressing Enter key is either processed internally by the
290 control or used for navigation between dialog controls). Windows
291 only.
292 @style{wxCC_SPECIAL_DCLICK}
293 Double-clicking triggers a call to popup's OnComboDoubleClick.
294 Actual behaviour is defined by a derived class. For instance,
295 wxOwnerDrawnComboBox will cycle an item. This style only applies if
296 wxCB_READONLY is used as well.
297 @style{wxCC_STD_BUTTON}
298 Drop button will behave more like a standard push button.
299 @endStyleTable
300
301 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
302 @event{EVT_TEXT(id, func)}
