Detailed Description

Gadget class.

Library: ilvadvgdt

This class is a subclass of IlvComboBox that combines a text field (IlvTextField class) with a scrollable string list. The user can enter a character string in the combo box text field, or click on the arrow that appears on the right side of the field to display a string list of the class IlvStringList providing a set of predefined choices.

Note
Because the submenu displayed by an IlvScrolledComboBox is an advanced scrollable string list rather than an IlvPopupMenu as in the superclass, the inherited IlvComboBox::getSubMenu() member function must not be called for the IlvScrolledComboBox class. It returns 0.

const char *const *  labels = 0,
IlUShort  count = 0,
IlUShort  thickness = IlvDefaultGadgetThickness,
IlvPalette palette = 0 
)

Constructor.

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

Parameters

IlUShort  count = 0,
IlUShort  thickness = IlvDefaultGadgetThickness,
IlvPalette palette = 0 
)

Constructor.

Initializes a new instance of the IlvScrolledComboBox.

Parameters
displayThe connection to the display.
rectThe size and position of the combo box.
