///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Name: srchctrl.h // Purpose: interface of wxSearchCtrl // Author: wxWidgets team // RCS-ID: $Id$ // Licence: wxWindows licence ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /** @class wxSearchCtrl A search control is a composite control with a search button, a text control, and a cancel button. @beginStyleTable @style{wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER} The control will generate the event wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER (otherwise pressing Enter key is either processed internally by the control or used for navigation between dialog controls). @style{wxTE_PROCESS_TAB} The control will receive wxEVT_CHAR events for TAB pressed - normally, TAB is used for passing to the next control in a dialog instead. For the control created with this style, you can still use Ctrl-Enter to pass to the next control from the keyboard. @style{wxTE_NOHIDESEL} By default, the Windows text control doesn't show the selection when it doesn't have focus - use this style to force it to always show it. It doesn't do anything under other platforms. @style{wxTE_LEFT} The text in the control will be left-justified (default). @style{wxTE_CENTRE} The text in the control will be centered (currently wxMSW and wxGTK2 only). @style{wxTE_RIGHT} The text in the control will be right-justified (currently wxMSW and wxGTK2 only). @style{wxTE_CAPITALIZE} On PocketPC and Smartphone, causes the first letter to be capitalized. @endStyleTable @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent} To retrieve actual search queries, use EVT_TEXT and EVT_TEXT_ENTER events, just as you would with wxTextCtrl. @event{EVT_SEARCHCTRL_SEARCH_BTN(id, func)} Respond to a wxEVT_SEARCHCTRL_SEARCH_BTN event, generated when the search button is clicked. Note that this does not initiate a search on its own, you need to perform the appropriate action in your event handler. You may use @code event.GetString() @endcode to retrieve the string to search for in the event handler code. @event{EVT_SEARCHCTRL_CANCEL_BTN(id, func)} Respond to a wxEVT_SEARCHCTRL_CANCEL_BTN event, generated when the cancel button is clicked. @endEventTable @library{wxcore} @category{ctrl} @appearance{searchctrl.png} @see wxTextCtrl::Create, wxValidator */ class wxSearchCtrl : public wxTextCtrl { public: /** Default constructor */ wxSearchCtrl(); /** Constructor, creating and showing a text control. @param parent Parent window.
