wxToolBar Class Reference

Inheritance diagram for wxToolBar:

Detailed Description

A toolbar is a bar of buttons and/or other controls usually placed below the menu bar in a wxFrame.

You may create a toolbar that is managed by a frame calling wxFrame::CreateToolBar(). Under Pocket PC, you should always use this function for creating the toolbar to be managed by the frame, so that wxWidgets can use a combined menubar and toolbar. Where you manage your own toolbars, create wxToolBar as usual.

There are several different types of tools you can add to a toolbar. These types are controlled by the wxItemKind enumeration.

Note that many methods in wxToolBar such as wxToolBar::AddTool return a wxToolBarToolBase* object. This should be regarded as an opaque handle representing the newly added toolbar item, providing access to its id and position within the toolbar. Changes to the item's state should be made through calls to wxToolBar methods, for example wxToolBar::EnableTool. Calls to wxToolBarToolBase methods (undocumented by purpose) will not change the visible state of the item within the tool bar.

wxMSW note: Note that under wxMSW toolbar paints tools to reflect system-wide colours. If you use more than 16 colours in your tool bitmaps, you may wish to suppress this behaviour, otherwise system colours in your bitmaps will inadvertently be mapped to system colours. To do this, set the msw.remap system option before creating the toolbar:

wxSystemOptions::SetOption("msw.remap", 0);

If you wish to use 32-bit images (which include an alpha channel for transparency) use:

wxSystemOptions::SetOption("msw.remap", 2);

Then colour remapping is switched off, and a transparent background used. But only use this option under Windows XP with true colour:

if (wxTheApp->GetComCtl32Version() >= 600 && ::wxDisplayDepth() >= 32)

Styles

This class supports the following styles:

• wxTB_FLAT:
  Gives the toolbar a flat look (Windows and GTK only).
• wxTB_DOCKABLE:
  Makes the toolbar floatable and dockable (GTK only).
• wxTB_HORIZONTAL:
  Specifies horizontal layout (default).
• wxTB_VERTICAL:
  Specifies vertical layout.
• wxTB_TEXT:
  Shows the text in the toolbar buttons; by default only icons are shown.
• wxTB_NOICONS:
  Specifies no icons in the toolbar buttons; by default they are shown.
• wxTB_NODIVIDER:
  Specifies no divider (border) above the toolbar (Windows only)
• wxTB_NOALIGN:
  Specifies no alignment with the parent window (Windows only, not very useful).
• wxTB_HORZ_LAYOUT:
  Shows the text and the icons alongside, not vertically stacked (Windows and GTK 2 only). This style must be used with wxTB_TEXT.
• wxTB_HORZ_TEXT:
  Combination of wxTB_HORZ_LAYOUT and wxTB_TEXT.
• wxTB_NO_TOOLTIPS:
  Don't show the short help tooltips for the tools when the mouse hovers over them.
• wxTB_BOTTOM:
  Align the toolbar at the bottom of parent window.
• wxTB_RIGHT:
  Align the toolbar at the right side of parent window.
• wxTB_DEFAULT_STYLE:
  Combination of wxTB_HORIZONTAL and wxTB_FLAT. This style is new since wxWidgets 2.9.5.

See also Window Styles. Note that the wxMSW native toolbar ignores wxTB_NOICONS style. Also, toggling the wxTB_TEXT works only if the style was initially on.

Events emitted by this class

The following event handler macros redirect the events to member function handlers 'func' with prototypes like:

void handlerFuncName(wxCommandEvent& event)

Event macros for events emitted by this class:

• EVT_TOOL(id, func):
  Process a wxEVT_TOOL event (a synonym for wxEVT_MENU). Pass the id of the tool.
• EVT_MENU(id, func):
  The same as EVT_TOOL().
• EVT_TOOL_RANGE(id1, id2, func):
  Process a wxEVT_TOOL event for a range of identifiers. Pass the ids of the tools.
• EVT_MENU_RANGE(id1, id2, func):
  The same as EVT_TOOL_RANGE().
• EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED(id, func):
  Process a wxEVT_TOOL_RCLICKED event. Pass the id of the tool. (Not available on wxOSX.)
• EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED_RANGE(id1, id2, func):
  Process a wxEVT_TOOL_RCLICKED event for a range of ids. Pass the ids of the tools. (Not available on wxOSX.)
• EVT_TOOL_ENTER(id, func):
  Process a wxEVT_TOOL_ENTER event. Pass the id of the toolbar itself. The value of wxCommandEvent::GetSelection() is the tool id, or -1 if the mouse cursor has moved off a tool. (Not available on wxOSX.)
• EVT_TOOL_DROPDOWN(id, func):
  Process a wxEVT_TOOL_DROPDOWN event. If unhandled, displays the default dropdown menu set using wxToolBar::SetDropdownMenu().

The toolbar class emits menu commands in the same way that a frame menubar does, so you can use one EVT_MENU() macro for both a menu item and a toolbar button. The event handler functions take a wxCommandEvent argument. For most event macros, the identifier of the tool is passed, but for EVT_TOOL_ENTER() the toolbar window identifier is passed and the tool identifier is retrieved from the wxCommandEvent. This is because the identifier may be wxID_ANY when the mouse moves off a tool, and wxID_ANY is not allowed as an identifier in the event system.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxToolBar::wxToolBar

(

)

Default constructor.

wxToolBar::wxToolBar	(	wxWindow *	parent,
		wxWindowID	id,
		const wxPoint &	pos = wxDefaultPosition,
		const wxSize &	size = wxDefaultSize,
		long	style = wxTB_HORIZONTAL,
		const wxString &	name = wxToolBarNameStr
	)

Constructs a toolbar.

Parameters

parent	Pointer to a parent window.
id	Window identifier. If -1, will automatically create an identifier.
pos	Window position. wxDefaultPosition indicates that wxWidgets should generate a default position for the window. If using the wxWindow class directly, supply an actual position.
size	Window size. wxDefaultSize indicates that wxWidgets should generate a default size for the window.
style	Window style. See wxToolBar initial description for details.
name	Window name.

Remarks

After a toolbar is created, you use AddTool() and perhaps AddSeparator(), and then you must call Realize() to construct and display the toolbar tools.

virtual wxToolBar::~wxToolBar ( )

virtual

Toolbar destructor.

Member Function Documentation

wxToolBarToolBase* wxToolBar::AddCheckTool	(	int	toolId,
		const wxString &	label,
		const wxBitmap &	bitmap1,
		const wxBitmap &	bmpDisabled = wxNullBitmap,
		const wxString &	shortHelp = wxEmptyString,
		const wxString &	longHelp = wxEmptyString,
		wxObject *	clientData = NULL
	)

Adds a new check (or toggle) tool to the toolbar.

The parameters are the same as in AddTool().

See Also

AddTool()

virtual wxToolBarToolBase* wxToolBar::AddControl ( wxControl *  control, const wxString &  label = wxEmptyString  )

virtual

Adds any control to the toolbar, typically e.g. a wxComboBox.

Parameters

control	The control to be added.
label	Text to be displayed near the control.

Remarks

wxMSW: the label is only displayed if there is enough space available below the embedded control.

wxMac: labels are only displayed if wxWidgets is built with wxMAC_USE_NATIVE_TOOLBAR set to 1

wxToolBarToolBase* wxToolBar::AddRadioTool	(	int	toolId,
		const wxString &	label,
		const wxBitmap &	bitmap1,
		const wxBitmap &	bmpDisabled = wxNullBitmap,
		const wxString &	shortHelp = wxEmptyString,
		const wxString &	longHelp = wxEmptyString,
		wxObject *	clientData = NULL
	)

Adds a new radio tool to the toolbar.

Consecutive radio tools form a radio group such that exactly one button in the group is pressed at any moment, in other words whenever a button in the group is pressed the previously pressed button is automatically released. You should avoid having the radio groups of only one element as it would be impossible for the user to use such button.

By default, the first button in the radio group is initially pressed, the others are not.

See Also

AddTool()

virtual wxToolBarToolBase* wxToolBar::AddSeparator ( )

virtual

Adds a separator for spacing groups of tools.

Notice that the separator uses the look appropriate for the current platform so it can be a vertical line (MSW, some versions of GTK) or just an empty space or something else.

See Also

AddTool(), SetToolSeparation(), AddStretchableSpace()

wxToolBarToolBase* wxToolBar::AddStretchableSpace

(

)

Adds a stretchable space to the toolbar.

Any space not taken up by the fixed items (all items except for stretchable spaces) is distributed in equal measure between the stretchable spaces in the toolbar. The most common use for this method is to add a single stretchable space before the items which should be right-aligned in the toolbar, but more exotic possibilities are possible, e.g. a stretchable space may be added in the beginning and the end of the toolbar to centre all toolbar items.

See Also

AddTool(), AddSeparator(), InsertStretchableSpace()

Since

2.9.1

virtual wxToolBarToolBase* wxToolBar::AddTool ( wxToolBarToolBase *  tool )

virtual

Adds a tool to the toolbar.

Parameters

tool	The tool to be added.

Remarks

After you have added tools to a toolbar, you must call Realize() in order to have the tools appear.

See Also

AddSeparator(), AddCheckTool(), AddRadioTool(), InsertTool(), DeleteTool(), Realize(), SetDropdownMenu()

wxToolBarToolBase* wxToolBar::AddTool	(	int	toolId,
		const wxString &	label,
		const wxBitmap &	bitmap,
		const wxString &	shortHelp = wxEmptyString,
		wxItemKind	kind = wxITEM_NORMAL
	)

Adds a tool to the toolbar.

This most commonly used version has fewer parameters than the full version below which specifies the more rarely used button features.

Parameters

toolId	An integer by which the tool may be identified in subsequent operations.
label	The string to be displayed with the tool.
bitmap	The primary tool bitmap.
shortHelp	This string is used for the tools tooltip.
kind	May be wxITEM_NORMAL for a normal button (default), wxITEM_CHECK for a checkable tool (such tool stays pressed after it had been toggled) or wxITEM_RADIO for a checkable tool which makes part of a radio group of tools each of which is automatically unchecked whenever another button in the group is checked. wxITEM_DROPDOWN specifies that a drop-down menu button will appear next to the tool button (only GTK+ and MSW). Call SetDropdownMenu() afterwards.

Remarks

After you have added tools to a toolbar, you must call Realize() in order to have the tools appear.

Parameters

toolId	An integer by which the tool may be identified in subsequent operations.
label	The string to be displayed with the tool.
bitmap	The primary tool bitmap.
bmpDisabled	The bitmap used when the tool is disabled. If it is equal to wxNullBitmap (default), the disabled bitmap is automatically generated by greying the normal one.
kind	May be wxITEM_NORMAL for a normal button (default), wxITEM_CHECK for a checkable tool (such tool stays pressed after it had been toggled) or wxITEM_RADIO for a checkable tool which makes part of a radio group of tools each of which is automatically unchecked whenever another button in the group is checked. wxITEM_DROPDOWN specifies that a drop-down menu button will appear next to the tool button (only GTK+ and MSW). Call SetDropdownMenu() afterwards.
shortHelpString	This string is used for the tools tooltip.
longHelpString	This string is shown in the statusbar (if any) of the parent frame when the mouse pointer is inside the tool.
clientData	An optional pointer to client data which can be retrieved later using GetToolClientData().

Remarks

After you have added tools to a toolbar, you must call Realize() in order to have the tools appear.

virtual

Removes the specified tool from the toolbar and deletes it.

If you don't want to delete the tool, but just to remove it from the toolbar (to possibly add it back later), you may use RemoveTool() instead.

Note

It is unnecessary to call Realize() for the change to take place, it will happen immediately.

Returns

true if the tool was deleted, false otherwise.

DeleteToolByPos()

virtual bool wxToolBar::DeleteToolByPos ( size_t  pos )

virtual

This function behaves like DeleteTool() but it deletes the tool at the specified position and not the one with the given id.

virtual void wxToolBar::EnableTool ( int  toolId, bool  enable  )

virtual

Enables or disables the tool.

Parameters

toolId	ID of the tool to enable or disable, as passed to AddTool().
enable	If true, enables the tool, otherwise disables it.

Remarks

Some implementations will change the visible state of the tool to indicate that it is disabled.

GetToolEnabled(), ToggleTool()

wxToolBarToolBase* wxToolBar::FindById

(

int

id

)

const

Returns a pointer to the tool identified by id or NULL if no corresponding tool is found.

virtual wxControl* wxToolBar::FindControl ( int  id )

virtual

Returns a pointer to the control identified by id or NULL if no corresponding control is found.

virtual wxToolBarToolBase* wxToolBar::FindToolForPosition ( wxCoord  x, wxCoord  y  ) const

virtual

Finds a tool for the given mouse position.

Parameters

x	X position.
y	Y position.

Returns

A pointer to a tool if a tool is found, or NULL otherwise.

Remarks

wxSize wxToolBar::GetMargins

(

)

const

Returns the left/right and top/bottom margins, which are also used for inter-toolspacing.

See Also

SetMargins()

virtual wxSize wxToolBar::GetToolBitmapSize ( ) const

virtual

Returns the size of bitmap that the toolbar expects to have.

The default bitmap size is platform-dependent: for example, it is 16*15 for MSW and 24*24 for GTK. This size does not necessarily indicate the best size to use for the toolbars on the given platform, for this you should use wxArtProvider::GetNativeSizeHint(wxART_TOOLBAR) but in any case, as the bitmap size is deduced automatically from the size of the bitmaps associated with the tools added to the toolbar, it is usually unnecessary to call SetToolBitmapSize() explicitly.

Remarks

Note that this is the size of the bitmap you pass to AddTool(), and not the eventual size of the tool button.

See Also

SetToolBitmapSize(), GetToolSize()

const wxToolBarToolBase* wxToolBar::GetToolByPos

(

int

pos

)

const

virtual bool wxToolBar::OnLeftClick ( int  toolId, bool  toggleDown  )

virtual

Called when the user clicks on a tool with the left mouse button.

This is the old way of detecting tool clicks; although it will still work, you should use the EVT_MENU() or EVT_TOOL() macro instead.

Parameters

toolId	The identifier passed to AddTool().
toggleDown	true if the tool is a toggle and the toggle is down, otherwise is false.

Returns

If the tool is a toggle and this function returns false, the toggle state (internal and visual) will not be changed. This provides a way of specifying that toggle operations are not permitted in some circumstances.

See Also

OnMouseEnter(), OnRightClick()

virtual void wxToolBar::OnMouseEnter ( int  toolId )

virtual

This is called when the mouse cursor moves into a tool or out of the toolbar.

This is the old way of detecting mouse enter events; although it will still work, you should use the EVT_TOOL_ENTER() macro instead.

Parameters

toolId

Greater than -1 if the mouse cursor has moved into the tool, or -1 if the mouse cursor has moved. The programmer can override this to provide extra information about the tool, such as a short description on the status line.

Remarks

With some derived toolbar classes, if the mouse moves quickly out of the toolbar, wxWidgets may not be able to detect it. Therefore this function may not always be called when expected.

virtual void wxToolBar::OnRightClick ( int  toolId, long  x, long  y  )

virtual

Deprecated:

This is the old way of detecting tool right clicks; although it will still work, you should use the EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED() macro instead.

Called when the user clicks on a tool with the right mouse button. The programmer should override this function to detect right tool clicks.

Parameters

toolId	The identifier passed to AddTool().
x	The x position of the mouse cursor.
y	The y position of the mouse cursor.

Remarks

A typical use of this member might be to pop up a menu.

virtual bool wxToolBar::Realize ( )

virtual

This function should be called after you have added tools.

virtual wxToolBarToolBase* wxToolBar::RemoveTool ( int  id )

virtual

Removes the given tool from the toolbar but doesn't delete it.

This allows to insert/add this tool back to this (or another) toolbar later.

Note

It is unnecessary to call Realize() for the change to take place, it will happen immediately.
