Common dialog classes and functions encapsulate commonly-needed dialog box
|
|
requirements. They are all 'modal', grabbing the flow of control until the user
|
|
dismisses the dialog, to make them easy to use within an application.
|
|
|
|
Some dialogs have both platform-dependent and platform-independent
|
|
implementations, so that if underlying windowing systems do not provide the
|
|
required functionality, the generic classes and functions can stand in. For
|
|
example, under MS Windows, wxColourDialog uses the standard colour selector.
|
|
There is also an equivalent called wxGenericColourDialog for other platforms,
|
|
and a macro defines wxColourDialog to be the same as wxGenericColourDialog on
|
|
non-MS Windows platforms. However, under MS Windows, the generic dialog can
|
|
also be used, for testing or other purposes.

@section overview_cmndlg_colour wxColourDialog Overview
|
|
|
|
Classes: wxColourDialog, wxColourData
|
|
|
|
The wxColourDialog presents a colour selector to the user, and returns with
|
|
colour information.
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_cmndlg_colour_msw The MS Windows Colour Selector
|
|
|
|
Under Windows, the native colour selector common dialog is used. This presents
|
|
a dialog box with three main regions: at the top left, a palette of 48
|
|
commonly-used colours is shown. Under this, there is a palette of 16
|
|
'custom colours' which can be set by the application if desired. Additionally,
|
|
the user may open up the dialog box to show a right-hand panel containing
|
|
controls to select a precise colour, and add it to the custom colour palette.
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_cmndlg_colour_generic The Generic Colour Selector
|
|
|
|
Under non-MS Windows platforms, the colour selector is a simulation of most of
|
|
the features of the MS Windows selector. Two palettes of 48 standard and 16
|
|
custom colours are presented, with the right-hand area containing three sliders
|
|
for the user to select a colour from red, green and blue components. This
|
|
colour may be added to the custom colour palette, and will replace either the
|
|
currently selected custom colour, or the first one in the palette if none is
|
|
selected. The RGB colour sliders are not optional in the generic colour
|
|
selector. The generic colour selector is also available under MS Windows; use
|
|
the name wxGenericColourDialog.
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_cmndlg_colour_example Example
|
|
|
|
In the samples/dialogs directory, there is an example of using the
|
|
wxColourDialog class. Here is an excerpt, which sets various parameters of a
|
|
wxColourData object, including a grey scale for the custom colours. If the user
|
|
did not cancel the dialog, the application retrieves the selected colour and
|
|
uses it to set the background of a window.
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
wxColourData data;
|
|
data.SetChooseFull(true);
|
|
for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
|
|
{
|
|
wxColour colour(i*16, i*16, i*16);
|
|
data.SetCustomColour(i, colour);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
wxColourDialog dialog(this, &data);
|
|
if (dialog.ShowModal() == wxID_OK)
|
|
{
|
|
wxColourData retData = dialog.GetColourData();
|
|
wxColour col = retData.GetColour();
|
|
wxBrush brush(col, wxSOLID);
|
|
myWindow->SetBackground(brush);
|
|
myWindow->Clear();
|
|
myWindow->Refresh();
|
|
}
|
|
@endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section overview_cmndlg_font wxFontDialog Overview
|
|
|
|
Classes: wxFontDialog, wxFontData
|
|
|
|
The wxFontDialog presents a font selector to the user, and returns with font
|
|
and colour information.
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_cmndlg_font_msw The MS Windows Font Selector
|
|
|
|
Under Windows, the native font selector common dialog is used. This presents a
|
|
dialog box with controls for font name, point size, style, weight, underlining,
|
|
strikeout and text foreground colour. A sample of the font is shown on a white
|
|
area of the dialog box. Note that in the translation from full MS Windows fonts
|
|
to wxWidgets font conventions, strikeout is ignored and a font family (such as
|
|
Swiss or Modern) is deduced from the actual font name (such as Arial or
|
|
Courier).
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_cmndlg_font_generic The Generic Font Selector
|
|
|
|
Under non-MS Windows platforms, the font selector is simpler. Controls for font
|
|
family, point size, style, weight, underlining and text foreground colour are
|
|
provided, and a sample is shown upon a white background. The generic font
|
|
selector is also available under MS Windows; use the name wxGenericFontDialog.
|
|
|
|
@subsection overview_cmndlg_font_example Example
|
|
|
|
In the samples/dialogs directory, there is an example of using the wxFontDialog
|
|
class. The application uses the returned font and colour for drawing text on a
|
|
canvas. Here is an excerpt:
|
|
|
|
@code
|
|
wxFontData data;
|
|
data.SetInitialFont(canvasFont);
|
|
data.SetColour(canvasTextColour);
|
|
|
|
wxFontDialog dialog(this, &data);
|
|
if (dialog.ShowModal() == wxID_OK)
|
|
{
|
|
wxFontData retData = dialog.GetFontData();
|
|
canvasFont = retData.GetChosenFont();
|
|
canvasTextColour = retData.GetColour();
|
|
myWindow->Refresh();
|
|
}
|
|
@endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section overview_cmndlg_print wxPrintDialog Overview
|
|
|
|
Classes: wxPrintDialog, wxPrintData
|
|
|
|
This class represents the print and print setup common dialogs. You may obtain
|
|
a wxPrinterDC device context from a successfully dismissed print dialog.
|
|
|
|
The samples/printing example shows how to use it: see @ref overview_printing
|
|
for an excerpt from this example.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section overview_cmndlg_file wxFileDialog Overview
|
|
|
|
Classes: wxFileDialog
|
|
|
|
Pops up a file selector box. On Windows and GTK 2.4+, this is the common file
|
|
selector dialog. In X, this is a file selector box with somewhat less
|
|
functionality. The path and filename are distinct elements of a full file
|
|
pathname.
|
|
|
|
If path is "", the current directory will be used. If filename is "", no
|
|
default filename will be supplied. The wildcard determines what files are
|
|
displayed in the file selector, and file extension supplies a type extension
|
|
for the required filename. Flags may be a combination of wxFD_OPEN, wxFD_SAVE,
|
|
wxFD_OVERWRITE_PROMPT, wxFD_HIDE_READONLY, wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST, wxFD_MULTIPLE,
|
|
wxFD_CHANGE_DIR or 0.
|
|
|
|
Both the X and Windows versions implement a wildcard filter. Typing a filename
|
|
containing wildcards (*, ?) in the filename text item, and clicking on Ok, will
|
|
result in only those files matching the pattern being displayed. In the X
|
|
version, supplying no default name will result in the wildcard filter being
|
|
inserted in the filename text item; the filter is ignored if a default name is
|
|
supplied.
|
|
|
|
The wildcard may be a specification for multiple types of file with a
|
|
description for each, such as:
|
|
|
|
@verbatim
|
|
"BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF files (*.gif)|*.gif"
|
|
@endverbatim
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section overview_cmndlg_dir wxDirDialog Overview
|
|
|
|
Classes: wxDirDialog
|
|
|
|
This dialog shows a directory selector dialog, allowing the user to select a
|
|
single directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section overview_cmndlg_textentry wxTextEntryDialog Overview
|
|
|
|
Classes: wxTextEntryDialog
|
|
|
|
This is a dialog with a text entry field. The value that the user entered is
|
|
obtained using wxTextEntryDialog::GetValue().
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section overview_cmndlg_password wxPasswordEntryDialog Overview
|
|
|
|
Classes: wxPasswordEntryDialog
|
|
|
|
This is a dialog with a password entry field. The value that the user entered
|
|
is obtained using wxTextEntryDialog::GetValue().
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section overview_cmndlg_msg wxMessageDialog Overview
|
|
|
|
Classes: wxMessageDialog
|
|
|
|
This dialog shows a message, plus buttons that can be chosen from OK, Cancel,
|
|
Yes, and No. Under Windows, an optional icon can be shown, such as an
|

exclamation mark or question mark.
|
|
|
|
The return value of wxMessageDialog::ShowModal() indicates which button the
|
|
user pressed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section overview_cmndlg_singlechoice wxSingleChoiceDialog Overview
|
|
|
|
Classes: wxSingleChoiceDialog
|
|
|
