#include </home/zeitlin/src/wx/github/interface/wx/combo.h>
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.
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:
#include <wx/combo.h> #include <wx/listctrl.h> 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: wxDECLARE_EVENT_TABLE(); }; wxBEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(wxListViewComboPopup, wxListView) EVT_MOTION(wxListViewComboPopup::OnMouseMove) EVT_LEFT_UP(wxListViewComboPopup::OnMouseClick) wxEND_EVENT_TABLE()
Here's how you would create and populate it in a dialog constructor:
wxComboCtrl* comboCtrl = new wxComboCtrl(this, wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString); wxListViewComboPopup* popupCtrl = new wxListViewComboPopup(); // It is important to call SetPopupControl() as soon as possible 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");
This class supports the following styles:
wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER
(otherwise pressing Enter key is either processed internally by the control or used for navigation between dialog controls). Windows only. The following event handler macros redirect the events to member function handlers 'func' with prototypes like:
Event macros for events emitted by this class:
wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_UPDATED
event, when the text changes. wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER
event, when RETURN is pressed in the combo control. wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN
event, which is generated when the popup window is shown (drops down). wxEVT_COMMAND_COMBOBOX_CLOSEUP
event, which is generated when the popup window of the combo control disappears (closes up). You should avoid adding or deleting items in this event. wxMSW appearance | wxGTK appearance | wxMac appearance |

from | The first position. |
to | The second position. |
Reimplemented from wxTextEntry.
void wxComboCtrl::SetText | ( | const wxString & | value | ) |

Thus, unlike SetValue(), it works equally well with combo control using wxCB_READONLY
style.
void wxComboCtrl::SetTextCtrlStyle | ( | int | style | ) |
Set a custom window style for the embedded wxTextCtrl.
Usually you will need to use this during two-step creation, just before Create(). 以下に例を示します:
wxComboCtrl* comboCtrl = new wxComboCtrl(); // Let's make the text right-aligned comboCtrl->SetTextCtrlStyle(wxTE_RIGHT); comboCtrl->Create(parent, wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString);
void wxComboCtrl::SetTextIndent | ( | 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.
virtual void wxComboCtrl::SetValue | ( | const wxString & | value | ) | [virtual] |
Sets the text for the combo control text field.
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. Reimplemented from wxTextEntry.

virtual void wxComboCtrl::Undo | ( | ) | [virtual] |
void wxComboCtrl::UseAltPopupWindow | ( | 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.
