///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Name: combobox.h // Purpose: interface of wxComboBox // Author: wxWidgets team // Licence: wxWindows licence ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /** @class wxComboBox A combobox is like a combination of an edit control and a listbox. It can be displayed as static list with editable or read-only text field; or a drop-down list with text field; or a drop-down list without a text field depending on the platform and presence of wxCB_READONLY style. A combobox permits a single selection only. Combobox items are numbered from zero. If you need a customized combobox, have a look at wxComboCtrl, wxOwnerDrawnComboBox, wxComboPopup and the ready-to-use wxBitmapComboBox. Please refer to wxTextEntry documentation for the description of methods operating with the text entry part of the combobox and to wxItemContainer for the methods operating with the list of strings. Notice that at least under MSW wxComboBox doesn't behave correctly if it contains strings differing in case only so portable programs should avoid adding such strings to this control. @beginStyleTable @style{wxCB_SIMPLE} Creates a combobox with a permanently displayed list. Windows only. @style{wxCB_DROPDOWN} Creates a combobox with a drop-down list. MSW and Motif only. @style{wxCB_READONLY} A combobox with this style behaves like a wxChoice (and may look in the same way as well, although this is platform-dependent), i.e. it allows the user to choose from the list of options but doesn't allow to enter a value not present in the list. @style{wxCB_SORT} Sorts the entries in the list alphabetically. Notice that this style is not currently implemented in wxOSX. @style{wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER} The control will generate the event @c wxEVT_TEXT_ENTER (otherwise pressing Enter key is either processed internally by the control or used for navigation between dialog controls). @endStyleTable @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent} @event{EVT_COMBOBOX(id, func)} Process a @c wxEVT_COMBOBOX event, when an item on the list is selected. Note that calling GetValue() returns the new value of selection. @event{EVT_TEXT(id, func)} Process a @c wxEVT_TEXT event, when the combobox text changes. @event{EVT_TEXT_ENTER(id, func)} Process a @c wxEVT_TEXT_ENTER event, when RETURN is pressed in the combobox (notice that the combobox must have been created with wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER style to receive this event). @event{EVT_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN(id, func)} Process a @c wxEVT_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN event, which is generated when the list box part of the combo box is shown (drops down). Notice that this event is only supported by wxMSW, wxGTK with GTK+ 2.10 or later, and wxOSX/Cocoa. @event{EVT_COMBOBOX_CLOSEUP(id, func)} Process a @c wxEVT_COMBOBOX_CLOSEUP event, which is generated when the list box of the combo box disappears (closes up). This event is only generated for the same platforms as @c wxEVT_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN above. @endEventTable @library{wxcore} @category{ctrl} @appearance{combobox} @see wxListBox, wxTextCtrl, wxChoice, wxCommandEvent */ class wxComboBox : public wxControl, public wxItemContainer, public wxTextEntry { public: /** Default constructor. */ wxComboBox(); /** Constructor, creating and showing a combobox. @param parent Parent window.
