xtd::forms::choice Class Reference

#include <choice.h>

Definition

Represents a choice control.

Namespace
xtd::forms
Library
xtd.forms
Remarks
A choice displays a text box combined with a list, which enables the user to select items from the list or enter a new value.
To add or remove objects in the list at run time, use methods of the choice.object_collection class (through the items property of the choice). You can assign an array of object with the push_range method. The list then displays the default string value for each object. You can add individual objects with the push method. You can delete items with the erase method or clear the entire list with the clear method.
In addition to display and selection functionality, the choice also provides features that enable you to efficiently add items to the choice and to find text within the items of the list. With the begin_update and end_update methods, you can add a large number of items to the choice without the control being repainted each time an item is added to the list. The find_string and find_string_exact methods enable you to search for an item in the list that contains a specific search string.
You can use these properties to manage the currently selected item in the list, the text property to specify the string displayed in the editing field, the selected_index property to get or set the current item, and the selected_item property to get or set a reference to the object.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ choice()

xtd::forms::choice::choice ( )

Initializes a new instance of the choice class.

Member Function Documentation

◆ begin_update()

void xtd::forms::choice::begin_update ( )

Maintains performance while items are added to the choice one at a time by preventing the control from drawing until the EndUpdate() method is called.

Remarks
The preferred way to add multiple items to the choice is to use the push_back_range method of the choice::object_collection class (through the items property of the choice). This enables you to add an array of items to the list in a single operation. However, if you want to add items one at a time using the Add method of the choice::object_collection class, you can use the begin_update method to prevent the control from repainting the choice each time an item is added to the list. Once you have completed the task of adding items to the list, call the end_update method to enable the choice to repaint. This way of adding items can prevent flickered drawing of the choice when a large number of items are being added to the list.

◆ create_params()

forms::create_params xtd::forms::choice::create_params ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

Gets the required creation parameters when the control handle is created.

Returns
A create_params that contains the required creation parameters when the handle to the control is created.
Remarks
The create_params property should not be overridden and used to adjust the properties of your derived control. Properties such as the create_params::caption, create_params::width, and create_params::height should be set by the corresponding properties in your control such as control::text, control::width and control::height. The create_params should only be extended when you are wrapping a standard Windows control class or to set styles not provided by the forms namespace.
Notes for inheritors
When overriding the create_params property in a derived class, use the base class's create_params property to extend the base implementation. Otherwise, you must provide all the implementation.

Reimplemented from xtd::forms::control.

◆ default_size()

virtual drawing::size xtd::forms::choice::default_size ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Gets the default size of the control.

Returns
The default size of the control.

Reimplemented from xtd::forms::control.

◆ end_update()

void xtd::forms::choice::end_update ( )

Resumes painting the choice control after painting is suspended by the begin_update method.

Remarks
The preferred way to add multiple items to the choice is to use the push_back_range method of the choice::object_collection class (through the items property of the choice). This enables you to add an array of items to the list in a single operation. However, if you want to add items one at a time using the Add method of the choice::object_collection class, you can use the begin_update method to prevent the control from repainting the choice each time an item is added to the list. Once you have completed the task of adding items to the list, call the end_update method to enable the choice to repaint. This way of adding items can prevent flickered drawing of the choice when a large number of items are being added to the list.

◆ on_handle_created()

void xtd::forms::choice::on_handle_created ( const event_args e)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Raises the control::handle_created event.

Parameters
eAn xtd::event_args that contains the event data.

◆ on_selected_value_changed()

void xtd::forms::choice::on_selected_value_changed ( const event_args e)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Raises the list_control::selected_value_changed event.

Reimplemented from xtd::forms::list_control.

◆ selected_index() [1/3]

virtual size_t xtd::forms::list_control::selected_index ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Gets the zero-based index of the currently selected item.

Returns
A zero-based index of the currently selected item. A value of negative one (-1) is returned if no item is selected.

Reimplemented from xtd::forms::list_control.

◆ selected_index() [2/3]

list_control & xtd::forms::choice::selected_index ( size_t  selected_index)
overridevirtual

When overridden in a derived class, Sets the zero-based index of the currently selected item.

Parameters
selected_indexA zero-based index of the currently selected item. A value of negative one (-1) is returned if no item is selected.

Implements xtd::forms::list_control.

◆ selected_index() [3/3]

virtual list_control & xtd::forms::list_control::selected_index ( size_t  selected_index)
virtual

When overridden in a derived class, Sets the zero-based index of the currently selected item.

Parameters
selected_indexA zero-based index of the currently selected item. A value of negative one (-1) is returned if no item is selected.
Returns
Current list_control.

Implements xtd::forms::list_control.

◆ selected_item() [1/2]

const item & xtd::forms::choice::selected_item ( ) const
inline

Gets currently selected item in the choice.

Returns
The object that is the currently selected item.

◆ selected_item() [2/2]

choice & xtd::forms::choice::selected_item ( const item selected_item)

Sets currently selected item in the choice.

Parameters
selected_itemThe object that is the currently selected item.

◆ set_bounds_core()

void xtd::forms::choice::set_bounds_core ( int32_t  x,
int32_t  y,
int32_t  width,
int32_t  height,
bounds_specified  specified 
)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Performs the work of setting the specified bounds of this control.

Parameters
xThe new left property value of the control.
yThe new top property value of the control.
widthThe new width property value of the control.
heightThe new height property value of the control.
specifiedA bitwise combination of the bounds_specified values.
Remarks
Typically, the parameters that correspond to the bounds not included in the specified parameter are passed in with their current values. For example, the height, width, or the y or y properties of the location property can be passed in with a reference to the current instance of the control. However all values passed in are honored and applied to the control.
The specified parameter represents the elements of the controls Bounds changed by your application. For example, if you change the size of the control, the specified parameter value is the size value of bounds_specified. However, if the size is adjusted in response to the dock property being set, the specified parameter value is the none value of bounds_specified.
Notes to Inheritors
When overriding set_bounds_core(int32_t, int32_t, int32_t, int32_t, bounds_specified) in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's set_bounds_core(int32_t, int32_t, int32_t, int32_t, bounds_specified) method to force the bounds of the control to change. Derived classes can add size restrictions to the set_bounds_core(int32_t, int32_t, int32_t, int32_t, bounds_specified) method.

Reimplemented from xtd::forms::control.

◆ set_client_size_core()

void xtd::forms::choice::set_client_size_core ( int32_t  width,
int32_t  height 
)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Sets the size of the client area of the control.

Parameters
widthThe client area width, in pixels.
heightThe client area height, in pixels.
Remarks
The client area starts at the (0, 0) location and extends to the (width, height) location.
Typically, you should not set the client_size of the control.
Notes to Inheritors
When overriding set_client_size_core(int32_t, int32_t) in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's set_client_size_core(int32_t, int32_t) method so that the client_size property is adjusted.

Reimplemented from xtd::forms::control.

◆ sorted() [1/2]

virtual bool xtd::forms::choice::sorted ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Gets a value indicating whether the items in the choice are sorted.

Returns
true if the choice is sorted; otherwise, false. The default is false.
Remarks
This property specifies whether the choice sorts existing entries and add new entries to the appropriate sorted position in the list. You can use this property to automatically sort items in a choice. As items are added to a sorted choice, the items are moved to the appropriate location in the sorted list. When you set the property to false, new items are added to the end of the existing list. The sort is case-insensitive and in alphabetically ascending order.

◆ sorted() [2/2]

virtual choice & xtd::forms::choice::sorted ( bool  sorted)
virtual

Sets a value indicating whether the items in the choice are sorted.

Parameters
sortedtrue if the choice is sorted; otherwise, false. The default is false.
Remarks
This property specifies whether the choice sorts existing entries and add new entries to the appropriate sorted position in the list. You can use this property to automatically sort items in a choice. As items are added to a sorted choice, the items are moved to the appropriate location in the sorted list. When you set the property to false, new items are added to the end of the existing list. The sort is case-insensitive and in alphabetically ascending order.
