Detailed Description

wxHtmlListBox is an implementation of wxVListBox which shows HTML content in the listbox rows.

This is still an abstract base class and you will need to derive your own class from it (see htlbox sample for the example), but you will only need to override a single wxHtmlListBox::OnGetItem function.

Events emitted by this class

The following event handler macros redirect the events to member function handlers 'func' with prototypes like:

void handlerFuncName(wxHtmlCellEvent& event) or void handlerFuncName(wxHtmlLinkEvent& event)

Event macros for events emitted by this class:

  • EVT_HTML_CELL_CLICKED(id, func):
    A wxHtmlCell was clicked.
  • EVT_HTML_CELL_HOVER(id, func):
    The mouse passed over a wxHtmlCell.
  • EVT_HTML_LINK_CLICKED(id, func):
    A wxHtmlCell which contains a hyperlink was clicked.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ wxHtmlListBox() [1/2]

wxHtmlListBox::wxHtmlListBox ( wxWindow parent,
wxWindowID  id = wxID_ANY,
const wxPoint pos = wxDefaultPosition,
const wxSize size = wxDefaultSize,
long  style = 0,
const wxString name = wxHtmlListBoxNameStr 
)

Normal constructor which calls Create() internally.

◆ wxHtmlListBox() [2/2]

wxHtmlListBox::wxHtmlListBox ( )

Default constructor, you must call Create() later.

◆ ~wxHtmlListBox()

virtual wxHtmlListBox::~wxHtmlListBox ( )
virtual

Destructor cleans up whatever resources we use.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Create()

bool wxHtmlListBox::Create ( wxWindow parent,
wxWindowID  id = wxID_ANY,
const wxPoint pos = wxDefaultPosition,
const wxSize size = wxDefaultSize,
long  style = 0,
const wxString name = wxHtmlListBoxNameStr 
)

Creates the control and optionally sets the initial number of items in it (it may also be set or changed later with wxVListBox::SetItemCount).

There are no special styles defined for wxHtmlListBox, in particular the wxListBox styles (with the exception of wxLB_MULTIPLE) cannot be used here.

Returns true on success or false if the control couldn't be created

◆ GetFileSystem() [1/2]

wxFileSystem& wxHtmlListBox::GetFileSystem ( ) const

Returns the wxFileSystem used by the HTML parser of this object.

The file system object is used to resolve the paths in HTML fragments displayed in the control and you should use wxFileSystem::ChangePathTo if you use relative paths for the images or other resources embedded in your HTML.

◆ GetFileSystem() [2/2]

const wxFileSystem& wxHtmlListBox::GetFileSystem ( ) const

Returns the wxFileSystem used by the HTML parser of this object.

The file system object is used to resolve the paths in HTML fragments displayed in the control and you should use wxFileSystem::ChangePathTo if you use relative paths for the images or other resources embedded in your HTML.

◆ GetSelectedTextBgColour()

virtual wxColour wxHtmlListBox::GetSelectedTextBgColour ( const wxColour colBg) const
protectedvirtual

This virtual function may be overridden to change the appearance of the background of the selected cells in the same way as GetSelectedTextColour().

It should be rarely, if ever, used because wxVListBox::SetSelectionBackground allows changing the selection background for all cells at once and doing anything more fancy is probably going to look strangely.

See also
GetSelectedTextColour()

◆ GetSelectedTextColour()

virtual wxColour wxHtmlListBox::GetSelectedTextColour ( const wxColour colFg) const
protectedvirtual

This virtual function may be overridden to customize the appearance of the selected cells.

It is used to determine how the colour colFg is going to look inside selection. By default all original colours are completely ignored and the standard, system-dependent, selection colour is used but the program may wish to override this to achieve some custom appearance.

See also
GetSelectedTextBgColour(), wxVListBox::SetSelectionBackground, wxSystemSettings::GetColour

◆ OnGetItem()

virtual wxString wxHtmlListBox::OnGetItem ( size_t  n) const
protectedpure virtual

This method must be implemented in the derived class and should return the body (i.e. without html nor body tags) of the HTML fragment for the given item.

Note that this function should always return a text fragment for the n item which renders with the same height both when it is selected and when it's not: i.e. if you call, inside your OnGetItem() implementation, IsSelected(n) to make the items appear differently when they are selected, then you should make sure that the returned HTML fragment will render with the same height or else you'll see some artifacts when the user selects an item.

Implemented in wxRichTextStyleListBox.

◆ OnGetItemMarkup()

virtual wxString wxHtmlListBox::OnGetItemMarkup ( size_t  n) const
protectedvirtual

This function may be overridden to decorate HTML returned by OnGetItem().

◆ OnLinkClicked()

virtual void wxHtmlListBox::OnLinkClicked ( size_t  n,
const wxHtmlLinkInfo link 
)
protectedvirtual

Called when the user clicks on hypertext link.

Does nothing by default. Overloading this method is deprecated; intercept the event instead.

Parameters
nIndex of the item containing the link.
linkDescription of the link.
