Detailed Description

Field gadget class.

Library: dbgadget

The IliDialogComboBox defines a combo box gadget that opens a dialog box when the user clicks on the button inside the gadget. The button in this combo box gadget shows three dots instead of an arrow. This class serves as a base class for other, more specialized classes, that define precisely which dialog box should be used.

Returns the dialog that is used by the combo box.

Initially, this property is set to NULL.

Returns

The dialog.

virtual IlBoolean IliDialogComboBox::isOpen ( ) const

virtual

Returns IlTrue if the pull-down menu or the dialog box is currently displayed.

Returns

The pull-down menu (or dialog box) visibility.

Reimplemented from IliAbstractComboBox.

virtual void IliDialogComboBox::onApply ( )

virtual

Called when the dialog interaction with the user is completed, the dialog has been dismissed and when the outcome of the interaction is not a user cancellation.

The default implementation calls the Apply callback.

virtual void IliDialogComboBox::onEndDialog ( )

protectedvirtual

Called just after the dialog interaction with the user is completed and the dialog has been dismissed.

The default implementation does nothing.

virtual void IliDialogComboBox::onInitDialog ( )

protectedvirtual

Called when the dialog box is about to be shown.

It sets the dialog properties using the setDialog member function. The default implementation does nothing.

virtual void IliDialogComboBox::open ( IlBoolean  grab )

virtual

Causes a pull-down menu or dialog box to be displayed.

Whether the object displayed is a pull-down menu or a dialog box depends on the subclass of IliAbstractComboBox being used.

Parameters

grab	Reserved for future use and its value must always be IlFalse.

Reimplemented from IliAbstractComboBox.

void IliDialogComboBox::setDialog ( IlvDialog *  dlg, IlBoolean  owner = IlTrue  )

protected

Sets the dialog of the combo box.

Parameters

dlg	The dialog.
owner	If IlTrue, the combo box becomes the owner of the dialog.

virtual void IliDialogComboBox::showDialog ( IlBoolean  grab )

protectedvirtual

Called when the dialog needs to be shown.

The default implementation does the following:

getDialog()->wait(grab);

virtual IlBoolean IliDialogComboBox::wasCanceled ( ) const

virtual

Returns IlTrue if the user has canceled the last dialog interaction.
