  12 \section{\class{wxVarHScrollHelper}}\label{wxvarhscrollhelper}
  13
  14 This class provides functions wrapping the
  15 \helpref{wxVarScrollHelperBase}{wxvarscrollhelperbase} class, targeted for
  16 horizontal-specific scrolling using \helpref{wxHScrolledWindow}{wxhscrolledwindow}.
  17
  18 Like wxVarScrollHelperBase, this class is mostly only useful to those classes
  19 built into wxWidgets deriving from here, and this documentation is mostly
  20 only provided for referencing those functions provided. You will likely want
  21 to derive your window from wxHScrolledWindow rather than from here directly.

  41
  42 \func{}{wxVarHScrollHelper}{\param{wxWindow* }{winToScroll}}
  43
  44 Constructor taking the target window to be scrolled by this helper class.
  45 This will attach scroll event handlers to the target window to catch and
  46 handle scroll events appropriately.
  47
  48
  49 \membersection{wxVarHScrollHelper::EstimateTotalWidth}\label{wxvarhscrollhelperestimatetotalwidth}
  50
  51 \constfunc{virtual wxCoord}{EstimateTotalWidth}{\void}
  52
  53 This class forwards calls from
  54 \helpref{wxVarScrollHelperBase::EstimateTotalSize}{wxvarscrollhelperbaseestimatetotalsize}
  55 to this function so derived classes can override either just the height or
  56 the width estimation, or just estimate both differently if desired in any
  57 \helpref{wxHVScrolledWindow}{wxhvscrolledwindow} derived class.
  58
  59 Please note that this function will not be called if {\tt EstimateTotalSize()}
  60 is overridden in your derived class.
  61
  62
  63 \membersection{wxVarHScrollHelper::GetColumnCount}\label{wxvarhscrollhelpergetcolumncount}
  64
  65 \constfunc{size\_t}{GetColumnCount}{\void}
  66
  67 Returns the number of columns the target window contains.
  68
  69 \wxheading{See also}

  71 \helpref{SetColumnCount()}{wxvarhscrollhelpersetcolumncount}
  72
  73
  74 \membersection{wxVarHScrollHelper::GetVisibleColumnsBegin}\label{wxvarhscrollhelpergetvisiblecolumnsbegin}
  75
  76 \constfunc{size\_t}{GetVisibleColumnsBegin}{\void}
  77
  78 Returns the index of the first visible column based on the scroll position.
  79
  80
  81 \membersection{wxVarHScrollHelper::GetVisibleColumnsEnd}\label{wxvarhscrollhelpergetvisiblecolumnsend}
  82
  83 \constfunc{size\_t}{GetVisibleColumnsEnd}{\void}
  84
  85 Returns the index of the last visible column based on the scroll position. This
  86 includes the last column even if it is only partially visible.
  87
  88
  89 \membersection{wxVarHScrollHelper::IsColumnVisible}\label{wxvarhscrollhelperiscolumnvisible}
  90
  91 \constfunc{bool}{IsColumnVisible}{\param{size\_t }{column}}
  92
  93 Returns {\tt true} if the given column is currently visible (even if only
  94 partially visible) or {\tt false} otherwise.
  95
  96
  97 \membersection{wxVarHScrollHelper::OnGetColumnWidth}\label{wxvarhscrollhelperongetcolumnwidth}
  98
  99 \constfunc{virtual wxCoord}{OnGetColumnWidth}{\param{size\_t }{column}}
 100
 101 This function must be overridden in the derived class, and should return the
 102 width of the given column in pixels.
 103
 104
 105 \membersection{wxVarHScrollHelper::OnGetColumnsWidthHint}\label{wxvarhscrollhelperongetcolumnswidthhint}
 106
 107 \constfunc{virtual void}{OnGetColumnsWidthHint}{\param{size\_t }{columnMin}, \param{size\_t }{columnMax}}
 108
 109 This function doesn't have to be overridden but it may be useful to do so if
 110 calculating the columns' sizes is a relatively expensive operation as it gives
 111 your code a chance to calculate several of them at once and cache the result
 112 if necessary.
 113
 114 {\tt OnGetColumnsWidthHint()} is normally called just before
 115 \helpref{OnGetColumnWidth()}{wxvarhscrollhelperongetcolumnwidth} but you
 116 shouldn't rely on the latter being called for all columns in the interval
 117 specified here. It is also possible that OnGetColumnWidth() will be called for
 118 units outside of this interval, so this is really just a hint, not a promise.
 119
 120 Finally, note that columnMin is inclusive, while columnMax is exclusive.
 121
 122
 123 \membersection{wxVarHScrollHelper::RefreshColumn}\label{wxvarhscrollhelperrefreshcolumn}
 124
 125 \func{virtual void}{RefreshColumn}{\param{size\_t }{column}}
 126
 127 Triggers a refresh for just the given column's area of the window if it's visible.
 128
 129
 130 \membersection{wxVarHScrollHelper::RefreshColumns}\label{wxvarhscrollhelperrefreshcolumns}
 131
 132 \func{virtual void}{RefreshColumns}{\param{size\_t }{from}, \param{size\_t }{to}}
 133
 134 Triggers a refresh for the area between the specified range of columns given
 135 (inclusively).
 136
 137
 138 \membersection{wxVarHScrollHelper::ScrollColumnPages}\label{wxvarhscrollhelperscrollcolumnpages}
 139
 140 \func{virtual bool}{ScrollColumnPages}{\param{int }{pages}}
 141
 142 Scroll by the specified number of pages which may be positive (to scroll right)
 143 or negative (to scroll left).
 144
 145
 146 \membersection{wxVarHScrollHelper::ScrollColumns}\label{wxvarhscrollhelperscrollcolumns}
 147
 148 \func{virtual bool}{ScrollColumns}{\param{int }{columns}}
 149
 150 Scroll by the specified number of columns which may be positive (to scroll right)
 151 or negative (to scroll left).
 152
 153 Returns {\tt true} if the window was scrolled, {\tt false} otherwise (for
 154 example, if we're trying to scroll right but we are already showing the last
 155 column).
 156
 157
 158 \membersection{wxVarHScrollHelper::ScrollToColumn}\label{wxvarhscrollhelperscrolltocolumn}
 159
 160 \func{bool}{ScrollToColumn}{\param{size\_t }{column}}
 161
 162 Scroll to the specified column. It will become the first visible column in the window.
 163
 164 Returns {\tt true} if we scrolled the window, {\tt false} if nothing was done.
 165
 166
 167 \membersection{wxVarHScrollHelper::SetColumnCount}\label{wxvarhscrollhelpersetcolumncount}
 168
 169 \func{void}{SetColumnCount}{\param{size\_t }{columnCount}}
 170
 171 Set the number of columns the window contains. The derived class must provide
 172 the widths for all columns with indices up to the one given here in it's
 173 \helpref{OnGetColumnWidth()}{wxvarhscrollhelperongetcolumnwidth} implementation.
