In addition it has other customization features. For instance, position and size of the dropdown button can be changed. @section comboctrl_custompopup 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 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 wxListView popup: @code #include #include 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() @endcode Here's how you would create and populate it in a dialog constructor: @code wxComboCtrl* comboCtrl = new wxComboCtrl(this, wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString); wxListViewComboPopup* popupCtrl = new wxListViewComboPopup(); comboCtrl->SetPopupControl(popupCtrl); // Populate using wxListView methods popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(), "First Item"); popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(), "Second Item"); popupCtrl->InsertItem(popupCtrl->GetItemCount(), "Third Item"); @endcode @beginStyleTable @style{wxCB_READONLY} Text will not be editable. @style{wxCB_SORT} Sorts the entries in the list alphabetically. @style{wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER} The control will generate the event wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER (otherwise pressing Enter key is either processed internally by the control or used for navigation between dialog controls). Windows only. @style{wxCC_SPECIAL_DCLICK} Double-clicking triggers a call to popup's OnComboDoubleClick. Actual behaviour is defined by a derived class. For instance, wxOwnerDrawnComboBox will cycle an item. This style only applies if wxCB_READONLY is used as well. @style{wxCC_STD_BUTTON} Drop button will behave more like a standard push button. @endStyleTable @beginEventTable{wxCommandEvent} @event{EVT_TEXT(id, func)} Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED event, when the text changes. @event{EVT_TEXT_ENTER(id, func)} Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER event, when RETURN is pressed in the combo control. @endEventTable @library{wxbase} @category{ctrl} @see wxComboBox, wxChoice, wxOwnerDrawnComboBox, wxComboPopup, wxCommandEvent */ class wxComboCtrl : public wxControl { public: /** Default constructor. */ wxComboCtrl(); /** Constructor, creating and showing a combo control. @param parent Parent window.
