12 In order to use a custom popup with wxComboCtrl, an interface class must be
13 derived from wxComboPopup.
15 For more information on how to use it, see @ref comboctrl_custompopup.
26 Default constructor. It is recommended that internal variables are
27 prepared in Init() instead (because m_combo is not valid in
33 The derived class must implement this to create the popup control.
35 @return @true if the call succeeded, @false otherwise.
37 virtual bool Create(wxWindow
* parent
) = 0;
40 Utility function that hides the popup.
45 The derived class may implement this to return adjusted size for the
46 popup control, according to the variables given.
49 Preferred minimum width.
51 Preferred height. May be -1 to indicate no preference.
53 Max height for window, as limited by screen size.
55 @remarks This function is called each time popup is about to be shown.
57 virtual wxSize
GetAdjustedSize(int minWidth
, int prefHeight
, int maxHeight
);
60 Returns pointer to the associated parent wxComboCtrl.
62 wxComboCtrl
* GetComboCtrl() const;
65 The derived class must implement this to return pointer to the
66 associated control created in Create().
68 virtual wxWindow

71 The derived class must implement this to return string representation
74 virtual wxString
GetStringValue() const = 0;
77 The derived class must implement this to initialize its internal
78 variables. This method is called immediately after construction
79 finishes. m_combo member variable has been initialized before the call.
84 Utility method that returns @true if Create has been called.
86 Useful in conjunction with LazyCreate().
88 bool IsCreated() const;
91 The derived class may implement this to return @true if it wants to
92 delay call to Create() until the popup is shown for the first time. It
93 is more efficient, but on the other hand it is often more convenient to
94 have the control created immediately.
96 @remarks Base implementation returns @false.
98 virtual bool LazyCreate();
101 The derived class may implement this to do something when the parent
102 wxComboCtrl gets double-clicked.
104 virtual void OnComboDoubleClick();
107 The derived class may implement this to receive key events from the
110 Events not handled should be skipped, as usual.
112 virtual void OnComboKeyEvent(wxKeyEvent
& event

115 The derived class may implement this to do special processing when
118 virtual void OnDismiss();
121 The derived class may implement this to do special processing when
124 virtual void OnPopup();
127 The derived class may implement this to paint the parent wxComboCtrl.
129 Default implementation draws value as string.

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.
183 @section comboctrl_custompopup Setting Custom Popup for wxComboCtrl
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.
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.
196 Here's a minimal sample of wxListView popup:
199 #include <wx/combo.h>
200 #include <wx/listctrl.h>
202 class wxListViewComboPopup : public wxListView, public wxComboPopup
205 // Initialize member variables
211 // Create popup control
212 virtual bool Create(wxWindow* parent)
214 return wxListView::Create(parent,1,wxPoint(0,0),wxDefaultSize);
217 // Return pointer to the created control
218 virtual wxWindow *GetControl() { return this; }
220 // Translate string into a list selection
221 virtual void SetStringValue(const wxString& s)
223 int n = wxListView::FindItem(-1,s);
224 if ( n >= 0 && n < wxListView::GetItemCount() )
225 wxListView::Select(n);
228 // Get list selection as a string
229 virtual wxString GetStringValue() const
232 return wxListView::GetItemText(m_value);
233 return wxEmptyString;
236 // Do mouse hot-tracking (which is typical in list popups)
237 void OnMouseMove(wxMouseEvent& event)
239 // TODO: Move selection to cursor
242 // On mouse left up, set the value and close the popup
243 void OnMouseClick(wxMouseEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
245 m_value = wxListView::GetFirstSelected();
247 // TODO: Send event as well
254 int m_value; // current item index
257 wxDECLARE_EVENT_TABLE();
260 wxBEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(wxListViewComboPopup, wxListView)
261 EVT_MOTION(wxListViewComboPopup::OnMouseMove)
262 EVT_LEFT_UP(wxListViewComboPopup::OnMouseClick)
266 Here's how you would create and populate it in a dialog constructor:
269 wxComboCtrl* comboCtrl = new wxComboCtrl(this, wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString);
271 wxListViewComboPopup* popupCtrl = new wxListViewComboPopup();
273 // It is important to call SetPopupControl() as soon as possible
274 comboCtrl->SetPopupControl(popupCtrl);
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");
283 @style{wxCB_READONLY}
284 Text will not be editable.
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
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.
301 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
302 @event{EVT_TEXT(id, func)}
303 Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED event, when the text changes.
304 @event{EVT_TEXT_ENTER(id, func)}
305 Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER event, when RETURN is pressed in
307 @event{EVT_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN(id, func)}
308 Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN event, which is generated
309 when the popup window is shown (drops down).
310 @event{EVT_COMBOBOX_CLOSEUP(id, func)}
311 Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_CLOSEUP event, which is generated
312 when the popup window of the combo control disappears (closes up).
313 You should avoid adding or deleting items in this event.

, wxCoord top
= -1);
697 Set side of the control to which the popup will align itself. Valid
698 values are @c wxLEFT, @c wxRIGHT and 0. The default value 0 means that
699 the most appropriate side is used (which, currently, is always
702 void SetPopupAnchor(int anchorSide

705 Set popup interface class derived from wxComboPopup. This method should
706 be called as soon as possible after the control has been created,
707 unless OnButtonClick() has been overridden.

712 Extends popup size horizontally, relative to the edges of the combo
716 How many pixel to extend beyond the left edge of the control.
719 How many pixel to extend beyond the right edge of the control.
722 @remarks Popup minimum width may override arguments. It is up to the
723 popup to fully take this into account.
725 void SetPopupExtents(int extLeft
, int extRight
);
728 Sets preferred maximum height of the popup.
730 @remarks Value -1 indicates the default.
732 void SetPopupMaxHeight(int height

741 void SetPopupMinWidth(int width
);
744 Selects the text between the two positions, in the combo control text
752 virtual void SetSelection(long from
, long to

755 Sets the text for the text field without affecting the popup. Thus,
756 unlike SetValue(), it works equally well with combo control using
757 @c wxCB_READONLY style.
759 void SetText(const wxString
& value
);
762 Set a custom window style for the embedded wxTextCtrl. Usually you
763 will need to use this during two-step creation, just before Create().
767 wxComboCtrl* comboCtrl = new wxComboCtrl();
769 // Let's make the text right-aligned
770 comboCtrl->SetTextCtrlStyle(wxTE_RIGHT);
772 comboCtrl->Create(parent, wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString);
775 void SetTextCtrlStyle( int style
);
778 This will set the space in pixels between left edge of the control and
779 the text, regardless whether control is read-only or not. Value -1 can
780 be given to indicate platform default.
782 @deprecated Use SetMargins() instead.
784 void SetTextIndent(int indent
);
787 Sets the text for the combo control text field.
789 @note For a combo control with @c wxCB_READONLY style the string must
790 be accepted by the popup (for instance, exist in the dropdown
791 list), otherwise the call to SetValue() is ignored.
793 virtual void SetValue(const wxString
& value

796 Same as SetValue(), but also sends wxCommandEvent of type
797 wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED if @a withEvent is @true.

, bool withEvent
= true);
804 @deprecated Use Popup() instead.
806 virtual void ShowPopup();
809 Undoes the last edit in the text field. Windows only.
814 Enable or disable usage of an alternative popup window, which
815 guarantees ability to focus the popup control, and allows common native
816 controls to function normally. This alternative popup window is usually
817 a wxDialog, and as such, when it is shown, its parent top-level window
818 will appear as if the focus has been lost from it.
820 void UseAltPopupWindow(bool enable
= true);
825 This member function is not normally called in application code.
826 Instead, it can be implemented in a derived class to create a custom
829 The parameters are the same as those for DoShowPopup().
831 @return @true if animation finishes before the function returns,
832 @false otherwise. In the latter case you need to manually call
833 DoShowPopup() after the animation ends.
835 virtual bool AnimateShow(const wxRect
& rect
, int flags
);
838 This member function is not normally called in application code.
839 Instead, it can be implemented in a derived class to return default
840 wxComboPopup, incase @a popup is @NULL.
842 @note If you have implemented OnButtonClick() to do something else than
843 show the popup, then DoSetPopupControl() must always set @a popup
846 virtual void DoSetPopupControl(wxComboPopup
* popup
);
849 This member function is not normally called in application code.
850 Instead, it must be called in a derived class to make sure popup is
851 properly shown after a popup animation has finished (but only if
852 AnimateShow() did not finish the animation within its function scope).
855 Position to show the popup window at, in screen coordinates.
857 Combination of any of the following:
859 @row2col{wxComboCtrl::ShowAbove,
860 Popup is shown above the control instead of below.}
861 @row2col{wxComboCtrl::CanDeferShow,
