        ComboPopup


In order to use a custom popup with wx.combo.ComboCtrl an interface class derived from wx.combo.ComboPopup is used to manage the interface between the popup control and the popup. You can either derive a new class from both the widget class and this ComboPopup class, or the derived class can have a reference to the widget used for the popup. In either case you simply need to return the widget from the GetControl method to allow the ComboCtrl to interact with it.

Nearly all of the methods of this class are overridable in Python.


Method Summary
ComboPopup __init__(self)
Constructor
  __del__(self)
bool Create(self, parent)
The derived class must implement this method to create the popup control.
  DefaultPaintComboControl(combo, dc, rect)
Default PaintComboControl behaviour (Static method)
  Dismiss(self)
Hides the popup
Size GetAdjustedSize(self, minWidth, prefHeight, maxHeight)
The derived class may implement this method to return adjusted size for the popup control, according to the variables given.
ComboCtrl GetCombo(self)
Returns a reference to the wx.combo.ComboCtrl this ComboPopup object is associated with.
Window GetControl(self)
The derived class must implement this method and it should return a reference to the widget created in the Create method.
String GetStringValue(self)
Gets the string representation of the currently selected value to be used to display in the combo widget.
  Init(self)
This method is called after the popup is contructed and has been assigned to the ComboCtrl.
bool IsCreated(self)
Returns true if Create has been called.
bool LazyCreate(self)
The derived class may implement this to return True if it wants to delay the call to Create until the popup is shown for the first time.
  OnComboDoubleClick(self)
Implement this method in the derived class if you need to support special actions when the user double-clicks on the parent ComboCtrl.
  OnComboKeyEvent(self, event)
Receives key events from the parent ComboCtrl.
  OnDismiss(self)
The derived class may implement this to do special processing when popup is hidden.
  OnPopup(self)
The derived class may implement this to do special processing when popup is shown.
  PaintComboControl(self, dc, rect)
This is called to custom paint in the combo control itself (ie.
  SetStringValue(self, value)
Called just prior to displaying the popup.

Instance Method Details

__init__(self)
(Constructor)

Constructor

Returns:
ComboPopup
Overrides:
__builtin__.object.__init__

Create(self, parent)

The derived class must implement this method to create the popup control. It should be a child of the parent passed in, but other than that there is much flexibility in what the widget can be, its style, etc. Return True for success, False otherwise. (NOTE: this return value is not currently checked...)

Parameters:
parent
           (type=Window)

Returns:
bool

Dismiss(self)

Hides the popup

GetAdjustedSize(self, minWidth, prefHeight, maxHeight)

The derived class may implement this method to return adjusted size for the popup control, according to the variables given. It is called on every popup, just prior to OnPopup.

Parameters:
minWidth - Preferred minimum width.
           (type=int)

prefHeight - Preferred height. May be -1 to indicate no preference.
           (type=int)

maxHeight
           (type=int)

Returns:
Size

GetCombo(self)

Returns a reference to the wx.combo.ComboCtrl this ComboPopup object is associated with.

Returns:
ComboCtrl

GetControl(self)

The derived class must implement this method and it should return a reference to the widget created in the Create method. If the derived class inherits from both the widget class and ComboPopup then the return value is probably just self.

Returns:
Window

GetStringValue(self)

Gets the string representation of the currently selected value to be used to display in the combo widget.

Returns:
String

Init(self)

This method is called after the popup is contructed and has been assigned to the ComboCtrl. Derived classes can override this to do extra inialization or whatever.

IsCreated(self)

Returns true if Create has been called.

Returns:
bool

LazyCreate(self)

The derived class may implement this to return True if it wants to delay the call to Create until the popup is shown for the first time. It is more efficient, but on the other hand it is often more convenient to have the control created immediately. The default implementation returns False.

Returns:
bool

OnComboDoubleClick(self)

Implement this method in the derived class if you need to support special actions when the user double-clicks on the parent ComboCtrl.

OnComboKeyEvent(self, event)

Receives key events from the parent ComboCtrl. Events not handled should be skipped, as usual.

Parameters:
event
           (type=KeyEvent)

OnDismiss(self)

The derived class may implement this to do special processing when popup is hidden.

OnPopup(self)

The derived class may implement this to do special processing when popup is shown.

PaintComboControl(self, dc, rect)

This is called to custom paint in the combo control itself (ie. not the popup). Default implementation draws the current value as string.

Parameters:
dc
           (type=DC)

rect
           (type=Rect)

SetStringValue(self, value)

Called just prior to displaying the popup. The derived class can implement this to "select" the item in the popup that coresponds to the passed in string value, if appropriate. The default implementation does nothing.

Parameters:
value
           (type=String)


Static Method Details

DefaultPaintComboControl(combo, dc, rect)

Default PaintComboControl behaviour

Parameters:
combo
           (type=wxComboCtrlBase)

dc
           (type=DC)

rect
           (type=Rect)
