+ Inheritance diagram for wxDataViewRenderer:

Detailed Description

This class is used by wxDataViewCtrl to render the individual cells.

One instance of a renderer class is owned by a wxDataViewColumn. There is a number of ready-to-use renderers provided:

Additionally, the user can write their own renderers by deriving from wxDataViewCustomRenderer.

The wxDataViewCellMode and wxDataViewCellRenderState flags accepted by the constructors respectively controls what actions the cell data allows and how the renderer should display its contents in a cell.

wxDataViewRenderer::wxDataViewRenderer ( const wxString varianttype,

)

Constructor.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void wxDataViewRenderer::CancelEditing ( )
virtual
virtual wxWindow* wxDataViewRenderer::CreateEditorCtrl ( wxWindow parent,
wxRect  labelRect,
const wxVariant value 
)
virtual

Reimplemented in wxDataViewCustomRenderer.

void wxDataViewRenderer::DisableEllipsize ( )

Disable replacing parts of the item text with ellipsis.

If ellipsizing is disabled, the string will be truncated if it doesn't fit.

This is the same as

.

Since
2.9.1
void wxDataViewRenderer::EnableEllipsize ( wxEllipsizeMode  mode = wxELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE)

Enable or disable replacing parts of the item text with ellipsis to make it fit the column width.

This method only makes sense for the renderers working with text, such as wxDataViewTextRenderer or wxDataViewIconTextRenderer.

By default wxELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE is used.

Parameters
modeEllipsization mode, use wxELLIPSIZE_NONE to disable.
Since
2.9.1
virtual bool wxDataViewRenderer::FinishEditing ( )
virtual
virtual int wxDataViewRenderer::GetAlignment ( ) const
virtual

Returns the alignment.

See SetAlignment()

wxWindow* wxDataViewRenderer::GetEditorCtrl ( )
wxEllipsizeMode wxDataViewRenderer::GetEllipsizeMode ( ) const

Returns the ellipsize mode used by the renderer.

If the return value is wxELLIPSIZE_NONE, the text is simply truncated if it doesn't fit.

See also
EnableEllipsize()
virtual wxDataViewCellMode wxDataViewRenderer::GetMode ( ) const
virtual

Returns the cell mode.

wxDataViewColumn* wxDataViewRenderer::GetOwner ( ) const

Returns pointer to the owning wxDataViewColumn.

virtual bool wxDataViewRenderer::GetValue ( wxVariant value) const
pure virtual

This methods retrieves the value from the renderer in order to transfer the value back to the data model.

Returns false on failure.

virtual bool wxDataViewRenderer::GetValueFromEditorCtrl ( wxWindow editor,
wxVariant value 
)
virtual

Reimplemented in wxDataViewCustomRenderer.

wxString wxDataViewRenderer::GetVariantType ( ) const

Returns a string with the type of the wxVariant supported by this renderer.

wxDataViewCtrl* wxDataViewRenderer::GetView ( ) const
protected
virtual bool wxDataViewRenderer::HasEditorCtrl ( ) const
virtual

Reimplemented in wxDataViewCustomRenderer.

virtual void wxDataViewRenderer::SetAlignment ( int  align)
virtual

Sets the alignment of the renderer's content.

The default value of wxDVR_DEFAULT_ALIGMENT indicates that the content should have the same alignment as the column header.

The method is not implemented under OS X and the renderer always aligns its contents as the column header on that platform. The other platforms support both vertical and horizontal alignment.

void wxDataViewRenderer::SetOwner ( wxDataViewColumn owner)

Sets the owning wxDataViewColumn.

This is usually called from within wxDataViewColumn.

virtual bool wxDataViewRenderer::SetValue ( const wxVariant value)
pure virtual

Set the value of the renderer (and thus its cell) to value.

The internal code will then render this cell with this data.

virtual bool wxDataViewRenderer::StartEditing ( const wxDataViewItem item,
wxRect  labelRect 
)
virtual
virtual bool wxDataViewRenderer::Validate ( wxVariant value)
virtual

Before data is committed to the data model, it is passed to this method where it can be checked for validity.

This can also be used for checking a valid range or limiting the user input in a certain aspect (e.g. max number of characters or only alphanumeric input, ASCII only etc.). Return false if the value is not valid.

Please note that due to implementation limitations, this validation is done after the editing control already is destroyed and the editing process finished.
