\section{\class{wxComboCtrl}}\label{wxcomboctrl}

A combo control is a generic combobox that allows totally
custom popup. In addition it has other customization features.
For instance, position and size of the dropdown button
can be changed.

\wxheading{Setting Custom Popup for wxComboCtrl}

wxComboCtrl needs to be told somehow which control to use
and this is done by SetPopupControl(). However, we need
something more than just a wxControl in this method as,
for example, we need to call SetStringValue("initial text value")
and wxControl doesn't have such method. So we also need a
\helpref{wxComboPopup}{wxcombopopup} which is an interface which
must be implemented by a control to be usable as a popup.

We couldn't derive wxComboPopup from wxControl as this would make it
impossible to have a class deriving from a wxWidgets control and from
it, so instead it is just a mix-in.

Here's a minimal sample of \helpref{wxListView}{wxlistview} popup:

\begin{verbatim}

#include <wx/combo.h>
#include <wx/listctrl.h>
\wxheading{Library}

\helpref{wxCore}{librarieslist}


class wxListViewComboPopup : public wxListView,
                             public wxComboPopup
{
public:

    // Initialize member variables
    virtual void Init()
    {
        m_value = -1;
    }

    // Create popup control
    virtual bool Create(wxWindow* parent)
    {
        return wxListView::Create(parent,1,wxPoint(0,0),wxDefaultSize);
    }

    // Return pointer to the created control
    virtual wxWindow *GetControl() { return this; }

    // Translate string into a list selection
    virtual void SetStringValue(const wxString& s)
    {
        int n = wxListView::FindItem(-1,s);
        if ( n >= 0 && n < wxListView::GetItemCount() )
            wxListView::Select(n);
    }

    // Get list selection as a string
    virtual wxString GetStringValue() const
    {
        if ( m_value >= 0 )
            return wxListView::GetItemText(m_value);
        return wxEmptyString;
    }

    // Do mouse hot-tracking (which is typical in list popups)
    void OnMouseMove(wxMouseEvent& event)
    {
        // TODO: Move selection to cursor
    }

    // On mouse left up, set the value and close the popup
    void OnMouseClick(wxMouseEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
    {
        m_value = wxListView::GetFirstSelected();

        // TODO: Send event as well

        Dismiss();
    }

protected:

    int             m_value; // current item index

private:
    DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE()
};

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(wxListViewComboPopup, wxListView)
    EVT_MOTION(wxListViewComboPopup::OnMouseMove)
    EVT_LEFT_UP(wxListViewComboPopup::OnMouseClick)
END_EVENT_TABLE()

\end{verbatim}

Here's how you would create and populate it in a dialog constructor:

\begin{verbatim}

    wxComboCtrl* comboCtrl = new wxComboCtrl(this,wxID_ANY,wxEmptyString);

    wxListViewComboPopup* popupCtrl = new wxListViewComboPopup();

    comboCtrl->SetPopupControl(popupCtrl);

    // Populate using wxListView methods
    popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(),wxT("First Item"));
    popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(),wxT("Second Item"));
    popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(),wxT("Third Item"));

\end{verbatim}

\membersection{wxComboCtrl::AnimateShow}\label{wxcomboctrlanimateshow}

\func{virtual bool}{AnimateShow}{\param{const wxRect\& }{rect}, \param{int }{flags}}

This member function is not normally called in application code.
Instead, it can be implemented in a derived class to create a
custom popup animation.

\wxheading{Parameters}

Same as in \helpref{DoShowPopup}{wxcomboctrldoshowpopup}.

\wxheading{Return value}

\true if animation finishes before the function returns.
\false otherwise. In the latter case you need to manually call DoShowPopup
after the animation ends.


\membersection{wxComboCtrl::Create}\label{wxcomboctrlcreate}

\func{bool}{Create}{\param{wxWindow*}{ parent}, \param{wxWindowID}{ id},\rtfsp
\param{const wxString\& }{value = ``"}, \param{const wxPoint\&}{ pos = wxDefaultPosition}, \param{const wxSize\&}{ size = wxDefaultSize},\rtfsp
\param{long}{ style = 0}, \param{const wxValidator\& }{validator = wxDefaultValidator}, \param{const wxString\& }{name = ``comboCtrl"}}

Creates the combo control for two-step construction. Derived classes
should call or replace this function. See \helpref{wxComboCtrl::wxComboCtrl}{wxcomboctrlctor}\rtfsp

has been overridden.


\membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetPopupExtents}\label{wxcomboctrlsetpopupextents}

\func{void}{SetPopupExtents}{\param{int }{extLeft}, \param{int }{extRight}}

control. Default is $0$.}
\docparam{extRight}{How many pixel to extend beyond the right edge of the
control. Default is $0$.}

\wxheading{Remarks}

Popup minimum width may override arguments.

It is up to the popup to fully take this into account.


\membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetPopupMaxHeight}\label{wxcomboctrlsetpopupmaxheight}

\func{void}{SetPopupMaxHeight}{\param{int }{height}}

\membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetText}\label{wxcomboctrlsettext}

\func{void}{SetText}{\param{const wxString\& }{value}}

Sets the text for the text field without affecting the
popup. Thus, unlike \helpref{SetValue}{wxcomboctrlsetvalue}, it works
equally well with combo control using {\tt wxCB\_READONLY} style.


\membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetTextIndent}\label{wxcomboctrlsettextindent}

\func{void}{SetTextIndent}{\param{int }{indent}}

This will set the space in pixels between left edge of the control and the
text, regardless whether control is read-only or not. Value -1 can be
given to indicate platform default.


\membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetValue}\label{wxcomboctrlsetvalue}

\func{void}{SetValue}{\param{const wxString\& }{value}}

Sets the text for the combo control text field.

{\bf NB:} For a combo control with {\tt wxCB\_READONLY} style the
string must be accepted by the popup (for instance, exist in the dropdown
list), otherwise the call to SetValue() is ignored


\membersection{wxComboCtrl::SetValueWithEvent}\label{wxcomboctrlsetvaluewithevent}

\func{void}{SetValueWithEvent}{\param{const wxString\& }{value}, \param{bool }{withEvent = true}}

Same as SetValue, but also sends wxCommandEvent of type wxEVT\_COMMAND\_TEXT\_UPDATED

\membersection{wxComboCtrl::UseAltPopupWindow}\label{wxcomboctrlusealtpopupwindow}

\func{void}{UseAltPopupWindow}{\param{bool }{enable = true}}

Enable or disable usage of an alternative popup window, which guarantees
ability to focus the popup control, and allows common native controls to
function normally. This alternative popup window is usually a wxDialog,
and as such, when it is shown, its parent top-level window will appear
as if the focus has been lost from it.
