wxListBox

A listbox is used to select one or more of a list of strings. The strings are displayed in a scrolling box, with the selected string(s) marked in reverse video. A listbox can be single selection (if an item is selected, the previous selection is removed) or multiple selection (clicking an item toggles the item on or off independently of other selections).

List box elements are numbered from zero. Their number is limited in some platforms (e.g. ca. 2000 on GTK).

A listbox callback gets an event wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_SELECT for single clicks, and wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_DOUBLE_CLICKED for double clicks.

Window styles

wxLB_SINGLE	Single-selection list.
wxLB_MULTIPLE	Multiple-selection list: the user can toggle multiple items on and off.
wxLB_EXTENDED	Extended-selection list: the user can select multiple items using the SHIFT key and the mouse or special key combinations.
wxLB_HSCROLL	Create horizontal scrollbar if contents are too wide (Windows only).
wxLB_ALWAYS_SB	Always show a vertical scrollbar.
wxLB_NEEDED_SB	Only create a vertical scrollbar if needed.
wxLB_SORT	The listbox contents are sorted in alphabetical order.

Note that wxLB_SINGLE, wxLB_MULTIPLE and wxLB_EXTENDED styles are mutually exclusive and you can specify at most one of them (single selection is the default).

See also window styles overview.

Event handling

EVT_LISTBOX(id, func)	Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_SELECTED event, when an item on the list is selected.
EVT_LISTBOX_DCLICK(id, func)	Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_DOUBLECLICKED event, when the listbox is double-clicked.

wxListBox::wxListBox

wxListBox(void)

Default constructor.

wxListBox(wxWindow* parent, wxWindowID id, const wxPoint& pos = wxDefaultPosition, const wxSize& size = wxDefaultSize, int n, const wxString choices[] = NULL, long style = 0, const wxValidator& validator = wxDefaultValidator, const wxString& name = ``listBox")

wxListBox(wxWindow* parent, wxWindowID id, const wxPoint& pos, const wxSize& size, const wxArrayString& choices, long style = 0, const wxValidator& validator = wxDefaultValidator, const wxString& name = ``listBox")

Constructor, creating and showing a list box.

Parameters

parent

Parent window. Must not be NULL.

id

Window identifier. A value of -1 indicates a default value.

pos

Window position.

size

Window size. If the default size (-1, -1) is specified then the window is sized appropriately.

n

Number of strings with which to initialise the control.

choices

An array of strings with which to initialise the control.

style

Window style. See wxListBox.

validator

Window validator.

name

Window name.

wxPython での注意点: The wxListBox constructor in wxPython reduces the n and choices arguments are to a single argument, which is a list of strings.

wxPerl での注意点: In wxPerl there is just an array reference in place of n and choices.

wxListBox::~wxListBox

void ~wxListBox(void)

Destructor, destroying the list box.

wxListBox::Create

bool Create(wxWindow* parent, wxWindowID id, const wxPoint& pos = wxDefaultPosition, const wxSize& size = wxDefaultSize, int n, const wxString choices[] = NULL, long style = 0, const wxValidator& validator = wxDefaultValidator, const wxString& name = ``listBox")

bool Create(wxWindow* parent, wxWindowID id, const wxPoint& pos, const wxSize& size, const wxArrayString& choices, long style = 0, const wxValidator& validator = wxDefaultValidator, const wxString& name = ``listBox")

Creates the listbox for two-step construction. See wxListBox::wxListBox for further details.

wxListBox::Deselect

void Deselect(int n)

Deselects an item in the list box.

Parameters

n

The zero-based item to deselect.

Remarks

This applies to multiple selection listboxes only.

wxListBox::GetSelections

int GetSelections(wxArrayInt& selections) const

Fill an array of ints with the positions of the currently selected items.

Parameters

selections

A reference to an wxArrayInt instance that is used to store the result of the query.

Return value

The number of selections.

Remarks

Use this with a multiple selection listbox.

wxControlWithItems::GetSelection, wxControlWithItems::GetStringSelection, wxControlWithItems::SetSelection

wxPython での注意点: The wxPython version of this method takes no parameters and returns a tuple of the selected items.

wxPerl での注意点: In wxPerl this method takes no parameters and return the selected items as a list.

wxListBox::InsertItems

void InsertItems(int nItems, const wxString *items, int pos)

void InsertItems(const wxArrayString& nItems, int pos)

Insert the given number of strings before the specified position.

Parameters

nItems

Number of items in the array items

items

Labels of items to be inserted

pos

Position before which to insert the items: for example, if pos is 0 the items will be inserted in the beginning of the listbox

wxPython での注意点: The first two parameters are collapsed into a single parameter for wxPython, which is a list of strings.

wxPerl での注意点: In wxPerl there is just an array reference in place of nItems and items.

wxListBox::IsSelected

bool IsSelected(int n) const

Determines whether an item is selected.

Parameters

n

The zero-based item index.

Return value

true if the given item is selected, false otherwise.

wxListBox::Set

void Set(int n, const wxString* choices, void **clientData = NULL)

void Set(const wxArrayString& choices, void **clientData = NULL)

Clears the list box and adds the given strings to it.

Parameters

n

The number of strings to set.

choices

An array of strings to set.

clientData

Options array of client data pointers

Remarks

You may free the array from the calling program after this function has been called.

wxListBox::SetFirstItem

void SetFirstItem(int n)

void SetFirstItem(const wxString& string)

Set the specified item to be the first visible item. Windows only.

Parameters

n

The zero-based item index.

string

The string that should be visible.
