Detailed Description

Field gadget class.

Library: dbgadget

The IliToggleSelector class defines a gadget that contains a set of toggle gadgets. Each toggle gadget corresponds to a row of the foreign table. A maximum of one toggle can be checked. The value of the toggle selector is closely related to which toggle is checked. A IliToggleSelector gadget inherits the following properties from the IliFieldItf class:

a value (which may be connected to a data source),
a foreign table,
a column of the foreign table known as the value column,
a column of the foreign table known as the display column,
a label (see IliFieldItf::f_getLabel() and IliFieldItf::f_setLabel()).

When a toggle selector receives a new value, it checks the foreign table to find a row that contains this value in its value column. If such a row is found, the toggle selector checks the toggle that has the value of the display column of this row, as a label. Any other previously checked toggle is unchecked. Therefore, a toggle selector does not display its actual value. Instead, it displays another value that is derived from the original value, through the foreign table. The foreign table serves as a value converter. In addition, if the user edits the value displayed by the toggle selector, the edited value is converted back in a reversal of the procedure described above. A row that contains this value in its display column is searched for in the foreign table. If such a row is found, the value of the combo box changes to the value contained in the value column of the row. As an alternative to using a foreign table, it is possible to alter the toggles and their labels directly, using one of the member functions, setLabels(), setLabel(), insertLabel(), appendLabel(), or removeLabel(). Note that these member functions may not be used in conjunction with a foreign table. When the toggle selector has no foreign table, its value is an integer ranging from 0 to one less than the number of toggles.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ IliToggleSelector()

IliToggleSelector::IliToggleSelector	(	IlvDisplay *	display,
		const IlvRect &	rect,

virtual IlBoolean IliToggleSelector::f_externalToInternal ( )

virtual

Updates the internal value of a field according to its current external representation.

Returns: The value.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

◆ f_hasLabel()

virtual IlBoolean IliToggleSelector::f_hasLabel ( ) const

virtual

Returns IlTrue if the field gadget can display a label.

Returns: IlTrue if the field gadget can display a label.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

◆ f_isConsistent()

virtual IlBoolean IliToggleSelector::f_isConsistent ( ) const

virtual

Returns IlTrue if the internal value of the field corresponds to its current external representation.

Returns: IlTrue if the internal value of the field corresponds to its current external representation.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

Sets the value of the field.

Parameters

val	The value.
internal	If `IlFalse`, then the external representation and the display of the field are automatically updated.

Returns: IlTrue if successful, and IlFalse otherwise.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

◆ getLabel()

const char* IliToggleSelector::getLabel ( IlInt index ) const
