Detailed Description

template<class T>
class wxVScrolled< T >

In the name of this class, "V" may stand for "variable" because it can be used for scrolling rows of variable heights; "virtual", because it is not necessary to know the heights of all rows in advance – only those which are shown on the screen need to be measured; or even "vertical", because this class only supports scrolling vertically.

In any case, this is a generalization of wxScrolled which can be only used when all rows have the same heights. It lacks some other wxScrolled features however, notably it can't scroll specific pixel sizes of the window or its exact client area size.

To use this class, you need to derive from it and implement the OnGetRowHeight() pure virtual method. You also must call SetRowCount() to let the base class know how many rows it should display, but from that moment on the scrolling is handled entirely by wxVScrolled. You only need to draw the visible part of contents in your OnPaint() method as usual. You should use GetVisibleRowsBegin() and GetVisibleRowsEnd() to select the lines to display. Note that the device context origin is not shifted so the first visible row always appears at the point (0, 0) in physical as well as logical coordinates.

Note that this template class is available since wxWidgets 3.3.1, only wxVScrolledWindow was available in the earlier versions.

Additional Inherited Members

- Protected Member Functions inherited from wxVarVScrollHelper
virtual void OnGetRowsHeightHint (size_t rowMin, size_t rowMax) const
 This function doesn't have to be overridden but it may be useful to do so if calculating the rows' sizes is a relatively expensive operation as it gives your code a chance to calculate several of them at once and cache the result if necessary. More...
 
virtual wxCoord EstimateTotalHeight () const
 This class forwards calls from EstimateTotalSize() to this function so derived classes can override either just the height or the width estimation, or just estimate both differently if desired in any wxHVScrolledWindow derived class. More...
 
virtual wxCoord OnGetRowHeight (size_t row) const =0
 This function must be overridden in the derived class, and should return the height of the given row in pixels. More...

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ wxVScrolled() [1/2]

template<class T >
wxVScrolled< T >::wxVScrolled ( )

Default constructor, you must call Create() later.

◆ wxVScrolled() [2/2]

template<class T >
wxVScrolled< T >::wxVScrolled ( wxWindow parent,
wxWindowID  id = wxID_ANY,
const wxPoint pos = wxDefaultPosition,
const wxSize size = wxDefaultSize,
long  style = 0,
const wxString name = wxPanelNameStr 
)

This is the normal constructor, no need to call Create() after using this constructor.

Note
wxVSCROLL is always automatically added to the style, there is no need to specify it explicitly.
Parameters
parentThe parent window, must not be nullptr.
idThe identifier of this window, wxID_ANY by default.
posThe initial window position.
sizeThe initial window size.
styleThe window style. There are no special style bits defined for this class.
nameThe name for this window; usually not used.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Create()

template<class T >
bool wxVScrolled< T >::Create ( wxWindow parent,
wxWindowID  id = wxID_ANY,
const wxPoint pos = wxDefaultPosition,
const wxSize size = wxDefaultSize,
long  style = 0,
const wxString name = wxPanelNameStr 
)

Same as the non-default constructor, but returns a status code: true if ok, false if the window couldn't be created.

Just as with the constructor, the wxVSCROLL style is always used, there is no need to specify it explicitly.
