21 The wxScrolled class manages scrolling for its client area, transforming
22 the coordinates according to the scrollbar positions, and setting the
23 scroll positions, thumb sizes and ranges according to the area in view.
25 There are two commonly used (but not the only possible!) specializations of
28 - ::wxScrolledWindow, aka wxScrolled<wxPanel>, is equivalent to
29 ::wxScrolledWindow from earlier versions. Derived from wxPanel, it shares
30 wxPanel's behaviour with regard to TAB traversal and focus handling. Use
31 this if the scrolled window will have child controls.
33 - ::wxScrolledCanvas, aka wxScrolled<wxWindow>, derives from wxWindow and
34 so doesn't handle children specially. This is suitable e.g. for
35 implementing scrollable controls such as tree or list controls.
37 Starting from version 2.4 of wxWidgets, there are several ways to use a
38 ::wxScrolledWindow (and now wxScrolled). In particular, there are
39 three ways to set the size of the scrolling area:
41 One way is to set the scrollbars directly using a call to SetScrollbars().
42 This is the way it used to be in any previous version of wxWidgets and it
43 will be kept for backwards compatibility.
45 An additional method of manual control, which requires a little less
46 computation of your own, is to set the total size of the scrolling area by
47 calling either wxWindow::SetVirtualSize(), or wxWindow::FitInside(), and
48 setting the scrolling increments for it by calling SetScrollRate().
49 Scrolling in some orientation is enabled by setting a non-zero increment
52 The most automatic and newest way is to simply let sizers determine the
53 scrolling area. This is now the default when you set an interior sizer into
54 a wxScrolled with wxWindow::SetSizer(). The scrolling area will be
55 set to the size requested by the sizer and the scrollbars will be assigned
56 for each orientation according to the need for them and the scrolling
57 increment set by SetScrollRate(). As above, scrolling is only enabled in
58 orientations with a non-zero increment. You can influence the minimum size
59 of the scrolled area controlled by a sizer by calling
60 wxWindow::SetVirtualSizeHints(). (Calling SetScrollbars() has analogous
61 effects in wxWidgets 2.4 -- in later versions it may not continue to
64 Note that if maximum size hints are still supported by
65 wxWindow::SetVirtualSizeHints(), use them at your own dire risk. They may
66 or may not have been removed for 2.4, but it really only makes sense to set
67 minimum size hints here. We should probably replace
68 wxWindow::SetVirtualSizeHints() with wxWindow::SetMinVirtualSize() or
69 similar and remove it entirely in future.
71 @todo review docs for this class replacing SetVirtualSizeHints() with
74 As with all windows, an application can draw onto a wxScrolled using a
75 @ref overview_dc "device context".
77 You have the option of handling the OnPaint handler or overriding the
78 wxScrolled::OnDraw() function, which is passed a pre-scrolled device
79 context (prepared by wxScrolled::DoPrepareDC()).
81 If you don't wish to calculate your own scrolling, you must call
82 DoPrepareDC() when not drawing from within OnDraw(), to set the device
83 origin for the device context according to the current scroll position.
85 A wxScrolled will normally scroll itself and therefore its child windows
86 as well. It might however be desired to scroll a different window than
87 itself: e.g. when designing a spreadsheet, you will normally only have to
88 scroll the (usually white) cell area, whereas the (usually grey) label area
89 will scroll very differently. For this special purpose, you can call
90 SetTargetWindow() which means that pressing the scrollbars will scroll a
93 Note that the underlying system knows nothing about scrolling coordinates,
94 so that all system functions (mouse events, expose events, refresh calls
95 etc) as well as the position of subwindows are relative to the "physical"
96 origin of the scrolled window. If the user insert a child window at
97 position (10,10) and scrolls the window down 100 pixels (moving the child
98 window out of the visible area), the child window will report a position
103 If this style is specified and ::wxVSCROLL isn't, the window will be
104 scrollable only in horizontal direction (by default, i.e. if neither
105 this style nor ::wxVSCROLL is specified, it scrolls in both
108 If this style is specified and ::wxHSCROLL isn't, the window will be
109 scrollable only in vertical direction (by default, i.e. if neither
110 this style nor ::wxHSCROLL is specified, it scrolls in both
112 @style{wxALWAYS_SHOW_SB}
113 Since wxWidgets 2.9.5, specifying this style makes the window always
114 show its scrollbars, even if they are not used. See ShowScrollbars().
116 Uses a backing pixmap to speed refreshes. Motif only.
120 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxScrollWinEvent}
121 @event{EVT_SCROLLWIN(func)}
122 Process all scroll events.
123 @event{EVT_SCROLLWIN_TOP(func)}
124 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLLWIN_TOP scroll-to-top events.
125 @event{EVT_SCROLLWIN_BOTTOM(func)}
126 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLLWIN_BOTTOM scroll-to-bottom events.

137 (frequent events sent as the user drags the thumbtrack).
138 @event{EVT_SCROLLWIN_THUMBRELEASE(func)}
139 Process @c wxEVT_SCROLLWIN_THUMBRELEASE thumb release events.
143 Don't confuse wxScrollWinEvents generated by this class with
144 wxScrollEvent objects generated by wxScrollBar and wxSlider.
148 Use wxScrolled for applications where the user scrolls by a fixed amount,
149 and where a 'page' can be interpreted to be the current visible portion of
150 the window. For more sophisticated applications, use the wxScrolled
151 implementation as a guide to build your own scroll behaviour or use
152 wxVScrolledWindow or its variants.
154 @since The wxScrolled template exists since version 2.9.0. In older versions,
155 only ::wxScrolledWindow (equivalent of wxScrolled<wxPanel>) was

200 Translates the logical coordinates to the device ones. For example, if
201 a window is scrolled 10 pixels to the bottom, the device coordinates of
202 the origin are (0, 0) (as always), but the logical coordinates are (0,
203 10) and so the call to CalcScrolledPosition(0, 10, xx, yy) will return

245 Disable use of keyboard keys for scrolling.
247 By default cursor movement keys (including Home, End, Page Up and Down)
248 are used to scroll the window appropriately. If the derived class uses
249 these keys for something else, e.g. changing the currently selected
250 item, this function can be used to disable this behaviour as it's not
251 only not necessary then but can actually be actively harmful if another
252 object forwards a keyboard event corresponding to one of the above keys
253 to us using ProcessWindowEvent() because the event will always be
254 processed which can be undesirable.
258 void DisableKeyboardScrolling();
261 Call this function to prepare the device context for drawing a scrolled
264 It sets the device origin according to the current scroll position.
265 DoPrepareDC() is called automatically within the default @c wxEVT_PAINT
266 event handler, so your OnDraw() override will be passed an already
267 'pre-scrolled' device context. However, if you wish to draw from
268 outside of OnDraw() (e.g. from your own @c wxEVT_PAINT handler), you
269 must call this function yourself.
273 void MyWindow::OnEvent(wxMouseEvent& event)
278 dc.SetPen(*wxBLACK_PEN);
280 event.Position(&x, &y);
281 if (xpos > -1 && ypos > -1 && event.Dragging())
283 dc.DrawLine(xpos, ypos, x, y);
290 Notice that the function sets the origin by moving it relatively to the
291 current origin position, so you shouldn't change the origin before
292 calling DoPrepareDC() or, if you do, reset it to (0, 0) later. If you
293 call DoPrepareDC() immediately after device context creation, as in the
294 example above, this problem doesn't arise, of course, so it is
295 customary to do it like this.
297 void DoPrepareDC(wxDC
& dc
);
300 Enable or disable physical scrolling in the given direction. Physical
301 scrolling is the physical transfer of bits up or down the
302 screen when a scroll event occurs. If the application scrolls by a
303 variable amount (e.g. if there are different font sizes) then physical
304 scrolling will not work, and you should switch it off. Note that you
305 will have to reposition child windows yourself, if physical scrolling
309 If @true, enables physical scrolling in the x direction.
311 If @true, enables physical scrolling in the y direction.
313 @remarks Physical scrolling may not be available on all platforms. Where
314 it is available, it is enabled by default.
316 void EnableScrolling(bool xScrolling
, bool yScrolling
);
319 Set the scrollbar visibility.
321 By default the scrollbar in the corresponding direction is only shown
322 if it is needed, i.e. if the virtual size of the scrolled window in
323 this direction is greater than the current physical window size. Using
324 this function the scrollbar visibility can be changed to be:
325 - wxSHOW_SB_ALWAYS: To always show the scrollbar, even if it is
326 not needed currently (wxALWAYS_SHOW_SB style can be used during
327 the window creation to achieve the same effect but it applies
329 - wxSHOW_SB_NEVER: To never show the scrollbar at all. In this case
330 the program should presumably provide some other way for the
331 user to scroll the window.
332 - wxSHOW_SB_DEFAULT: To restore the default behaviour described
336 The desired visibility for the horizontal scrollbar.
338 The desired visibility for the vertical scrollbar.
342 void ShowScrollbars(wxScrollbarVisibility horz
, wxScrollbarVisibility vert
);
345 Get the number of pixels per scroll unit (line), in each direction, as
346 set by SetScrollbars(). A value of zero indicates no scrolling in that
350 Receives the number of pixels per horizontal unit.
352 Receives the number of pixels per vertical unit.
355 In wxPerl this method takes no parameters and returns a
356 2-element list (xUnit, yUnit).
359 @see SetScrollbars(), GetVirtualSize()
361 void GetScrollPixelsPerUnit(int* xUnit
, int* yUnit
) const;
364 Get the position at which the visible portion of the window starts.
367 Receives the first visible x position in scroll units.
369 Receives the first visible y position in scroll units.
372 If either of the scrollbars is not at the home position, @a x
373 and/or @a y will be greater than zero.
374 Combined with wxWindow::GetClientSize(), the application can use this
375 function to efficiently redraw only the visible portion of the window.
376 The positions are in logical scroll units, not pixels, so to convert
377 to pixels you will have to multiply by the number of pixels per scroll
381 In wxPerl this method takes no parameters and returns a
382 2-element list (x, y).
385 @see SetScrollbars(), Scroll()
387 void GetViewStart(int* x
, int* y
) const;
390 This is a simple overload of GetViewStart(int*,int*); see that function
393 wxPoint
GetViewStart() const;
396 Gets the size in device units of the scrollable window area (as
397 opposed to the client size, which is the area of the window currently
401 Receives the length of the scrollable window, in pixels.
403 Receives the height of the scrollable window, in pixels.
405 @remarks Use wxDC::DeviceToLogicalX() and wxDC::DeviceToLogicalY() to
406 translate these units to logical units.
409 In wxPerl this method takes no parameters and returns a
410 2-element list (xUnit, yUnit).

423 Called by the default paint event handler to allow the application to
424 define painting behaviour without having to worry about calling
427 Instead of overriding this function you may also just process the paint
428 event in the derived class as usual, but then you will have to call
429 DoPrepareDC() yourself.
431 virtual void OnDraw(wxDC
& dc
);
434 This function is for backwards compatibility only and simply calls
435 DoPrepareDC() now. Notice that it is not called by the default paint
436 event handle (DoPrepareDC() is), so overriding this method in your
437 derived class is useless.
439 void PrepareDC(wxDC
& dc
);
442 Scrolls a window so the view start is at the given point.
445 The x position to scroll to, in scroll units.
447 The y position to scroll to, in scroll units.
449 @remarks The positions are in scroll units, not pixels, so to convert to
450 pixels you will have to multiply by the number of
451 pixels per scroll increment. If either parameter is
452 ::wxDefaultCoord (-1), that position will be ignored (no change
455 @see SetScrollbars(), GetScrollPixelsPerUnit()
457 void Scroll(int x
, int y
);
460 This is an overload of Scroll(int,int); see that function for more info.
462 void Scroll(const wxPoint
& pt
);
465 Set the horizontal and vertical scrolling increment only. See the
466 pixelsPerUnit parameter in SetScrollbars().
468 void SetScrollRate(int xstep
, int ystep
);
471 Sets up vertical and/or horizontal scrollbars.
473 The first pair of parameters give the number of pixels per 'scroll
474 step', i.e. amount moved when the up or down scroll arrows are pressed.
475 The second pair gives the length of scrollbar in scroll steps, which
476 sets the size of the virtual window.
478 @a xPos and @a yPos optionally specify a position to scroll to
481 For example, the following gives a window horizontal and vertical
482 scrollbars with 20 pixels per scroll step, and a size of 50 steps (1000
483 pixels) in each direction:
485 window->SetScrollbars(20, 20, 50, 50);
488 wxScrolled manages the page size itself, using the current client
489 window size as the page size.
491 Note that for more sophisticated scrolling applications, for example
492 where scroll steps may be variable according to the position in the
493 document, it will be necessary to derive a new class from wxWindow,
494 overriding OnSize() and adjusting the scrollbars appropriately.
496 @param pixelsPerUnitX
497 Pixels per scroll unit in the horizontal direction.
498 @param pixelsPerUnitY
499 Pixels per scroll unit in the vertical direction.
501 Number of units in the horizontal direction.
503 Number of units in the vertical direction.
505 Position to initialize the scrollbars in the horizontal direction,
508 Position to initialize the scrollbars in the vertical direction, in
511 Will not refresh window if @true.
513 @see wxWindow::SetVirtualSize()
515 void SetScrollbars(int pixelsPerUnitX
, int pixelsPerUnitY
,
520 bool noRefresh
= false);
523 Call this function to tell wxScrolled to perform the actual scrolling
524 on a different window (and not on itself).
526 This method is useful when only a part of the window should be
527 scrolled. A typical example is a control consisting of a fixed header
528 and the scrollable contents window: the scrollbars are attached to the
529 main window itself, hence it, and not the contents window must be
530 derived from wxScrolled, but only the contents window scrolls when the
531 scrollbars are used. To implement such setup, you need to call this
532 method with the contents window as argument.
534 Notice that if this method is used, GetSizeAvailableForScrollTarget()
535 method must be overridden.
537 void SetTargetWindow(wxWindow
*window

554 Are we generating the autoscroll events?
556 bool IsAutoScrolling() const;
559 Stop generating the scroll events when mouse is held outside the
562 void StopAutoScrolling();
565 This method can be overridden in a derived class to forbid sending the
566 auto scroll events - note that unlike StopAutoScrolling() it doesn't
567 stop the timer, so it will be called repeatedly and will typically
568 return different values depending on the current mouse position
570 The base class version just returns true.
572 virtual bool SendAutoScrollEvents(wxScrollWinEvent
& event
) const;
577 Function which must be overridden to implement the size available for
578 the scroll target for the given size of the main window.
580 This method must be overridden if SetTargetWindow() is used (it is
581 never called otherwise). The implementation should decrease the @a size
582 to account for the size of the non-scrollable parts of the main window
583 and return only the size available for the scrollable window itself.
584 E.g. in the example given in SetTargetWindow() documentation the
585 function would subtract the height of the header window from the
586 vertical component of @a size.
588 virtual wxSize
GetSizeAvailableForScrollTarget(const wxSize

593 Scrolled window derived from wxPanel.
595 See wxScrolled for a detailed description.
597 @note Note that because this class derives from wxPanel, it shares its
598 behaviour with regard to TAB traversal and focus handling (in
599 particular, it forwards focus to its children). If you don't want
600 this behaviour, use ::wxScrolledCanvas instead.
602 @note ::wxScrolledWindow is an alias for wxScrolled<wxPanel> since version
603 2.9.0. In older versions, it was a standalone class.
