Detailed Description

This class is responsible for providing and manipulating the in-place edit controls for the grid.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void wxGridCellEditor::ApplyEdit ( int  row,
int  col,
wxGrid grid 
)
pure virtual

Effectively save the changes in the grid.

This function should save the value of the control in the grid. It is called only after EndEdit() returns true.

virtual void wxGridCellEditor::BeginEdit ( int  row,
int  col,
wxGrid grid 
)
pure virtual

Fetch the value from the table and prepare the edit control to begin editing.

This function should save the original value of the grid cell at the given row and col and show the control allowing the user to change it.

EndEdit()
virtual wxGridCellEditor* wxGridCellEditor::Clone ( ) const
pure virtual

Create a new object which is the copy of this one.

virtual void wxGridCellEditor::Create ( wxWindow parent,
wxWindowID  id,
wxEvtHandler evtHandler 
)
pure virtual

Creates the actual edit control.

virtual void wxGridCellEditor::Destroy ( )
virtual

Final cleanup.

virtual bool wxGridCellEditor::EndEdit ( int  row,
int  col,
const wxGrid grid,
const wxString oldval,
wxString newval 
)
pure virtual

End editing the cell.

This function must check if the current value of the editing control is valid and different from the original value (available as oldval in its string form and possibly saved internally using its real type by BeginEdit()). If it isn't, it just returns false, otherwise it must do the following:

  • Save the new value internally so that ApplyEdit() could apply it.
  • Fill newval (which is never NULL) with the string representation of the new value.
  • Return true

Notice that it must not modify the grid as the change could still be vetoed.

If the user-defined wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING event handler doesn't veto this change, ApplyEdit() will be called next.

wxControl* wxGridCellEditor::GetControl ( ) const

Get the wxControl used by this editor.

virtual wxString wxGridCellEditor::GetValue ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the value currently in the editor control.

virtual void wxGridCellEditor::HandleReturn ( wxKeyEvent event)
virtual

Some types of controls on some platforms may need some help with the Return key.

bool wxGridCellEditor::IsCreated ( )

Returns true if the edit control has been created.

virtual void wxGridCellEditor::PaintBackground ( wxDC dc,
const wxRect rectCell,
wxGridCellAttr attr 
)
virtual

Draws the part of the cell not occupied by the control: the base class version just fills it with background colour from the attribute.

virtual void wxGridCellEditor::Reset ( )
pure virtual

Reset the value in the control back to its starting value.

void wxGridCellEditor::SetControl ( wxControl control)

Set the wxControl that will be used by this cell editor for editing the value.

virtual void wxGridCellEditor::SetSize ( const wxRect rect)
virtual

Size and position the edit control.

virtual void wxGridCellEditor::Show ( bool  show,
wxGridCellAttr attr = NULL 
)
virtual

Show or hide the edit control, use the specified attributes to set colours/fonts for it.

virtual void wxGridCellEditor::StartingClick ( )
virtual

If the editor is enabled by clicking on the cell, this method will be called.

virtual void wxGridCellEditor::StartingKey ( wxKeyEvent event)
virtual

If the editor is enabled by pressing keys on the grid, this will be called to let the editor do something about that first key if desired.
