Detailed Description

Gadget class.

Library: ilvgadgt

The IlvComboBox class combines a text field (IlvTextField class) with a pop-up menu displaying a set of predefined entries from which the user can choose.

- A Combo Box -

The user can enter a character string in the text field, or click on the arrow appearing on the right side of the field and select one of the choices from the menu that is displayed. You can access the pop-up menu attached to the combo box to modify its behavior.

See Also: IlvScrolledComboBox, IlvOptionMenu.

IlvComboBox::IlvComboBox	(	IlvDisplay *	display,
		const IlvPoint &	point,
		const char *	label,
		const char const	labels = `0`,
		IlUShort	count = `0`,
		IlUShort	thickness = `IlvDefaultGadgetThickness`,
		IlvPalette *	palette = `0`
	)

Constructor.

Initializes a new instance of the IlvComboBox class. The size of the combo box is computed from the label parameter. If you want to specify the size, use the other constructor.

Parameters

display	The connection to the display.
point	The position of the combo box.
label	The label of the combo box.
labels	An array containing the predefined labels of the combo box.
count	The number of elements in the labels array.
thickness	The thickness of the combo box.
palette	The palette used by the combo box.

IlvComboBox::IlvComboBox	(	IlvDisplay *	display,
		const IlvRect &	rect,
		const char *	label,
		const char const	labels = `0`,
		IlUShort	count = `0`,
		IlUShort	thickness = `IlvDefaultGadgetThickness`,
		IlvPalette *	palette = `0`
	)

Constructor.

n Initializes a new instance of the class IlvComboBox.

Parameters

display	The connection to the display.
rect	The size and position of the combo box.
label	The label of the combo box.
labels	An array containing the predefined labels of the combo box.

Member Function Documentation

virtual IlvGadgetItem* IlvComboBox::createItem	(	const char *	label,
		IlvGraphic *	graphic = `0`,
		IlvBitmap *	bitmap = `0`,
		IlvBitmap *	selbitmap = `0`,
		IlBoolean	copy = `IlTrue`
	)		const

virtual

Returns a new gadget item.

You can override this member function in a subclass to create your own items.

Parameters

label	The item label.
graphic	The `IlvGraphic` object representing the picture associated with the item.
bitmap	The `IlvBitmap` object representing the picture associated with the item.
selbitmap	The `IlvBitmap` object representing the picture of the item when it is selected.
copy	A Boolean value specifying whether a label should be copied. If the value is `IlFalse, then you must allocate some memory for the label because in any case the label characters are deleted from the memory by the IlvGadgetItem.`

Warning: [note] If both the second and third parameters are not null, only the second parameter is used.

Returns: The created gadget item.

Reimplemented from IlvGadgetItemHolder.

virtual void IlvComboBox::empty ( )

virtual

Empties the list.

See Also: setItems, removeItem

Implements IlvListGadgetItemHolder.

virtual IlvPalette* IlvComboBox::getNormalTextPalette ( ) const

virtual

Returns the default palette used to draw an item.

Returns: The default palette used to draw an item.

IlvPopupMenu* IlvComboBox::getSubMenu ( ) const

Returns a pointer to the pop-up menu attached to the combo box.

Returns: A pointer to the pop-up menu attached to the combo box.

Warning: [note] The IlvScrolledComboBox subclass has no associated submenu. Therefore, the IlvComboBox::getSubMenu member function always returns 0. To get the IlvStringList of an IlvScrolledComboBox object, use IlvScrolledComboBox::getStringList instead.

See Also: IlvScrolledComboBox::getStringList

virtual IlBoolean IlvComboBox::isListVisible ( ) const

virtual

Indicates whether the list of items of the combo box is visible.

Returns: IlTrue if the list of items of the combo box is visible and IlFalse if it is not.
