Detailed Description

Helper for handling mouse input events in windows containing multiple items.

This class handles mouse events and synthesizes high-level notifications such as clicks and drag events from low level mouse button presses and mouse movement events. It is useful because handling the mouse events is less obvious than might seem at a first glance: for example, clicks on an object should only be generated if the mouse was both pressed and released over it and not just released (so it requires storing the previous state) and dragging shouldn't start before the mouse moves away far enough.

This class encapsulates all these dull details for controls containing multiple items which can be identified by a positive integer index and you just need to implement its pure virtual functions to use it.

Notice that this class supposes that all items can be identified by an integer "index" but it doesn't need to be an ordinal index of the item (although this is the most common case) – it can be any value which can be used to uniquely identify an item.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxMouseEventsManager::wxMouseEventsManager ( )

Default constructor.

You must call Create() to finish initializing the mouse events manager. If possible, avoid the use of this constructor in favour of the other one which fully initializes the mouse events manager immediately.

wxMouseEventsManager::wxMouseEventsManager ( wxWindow * win )

Constructor creates the manager for the window.

A mouse event manager is always associated with a window and must be destroyed by the window when it is destroyed (it doesn't need to be allocated on the heap however).

Member Function Documentation

bool wxMouseEventsManager::Create ( wxWindow * win )

Finishes initialization of the object created using default constructor.

Currently always returns true.

virtual void wxMouseEventsManager::MouseClickBegin ( int item )

protectedvirtual

May be overridden to update the state of an item when it is pressed.

This method is called when the item is becomes pressed and can be used to change its appearance when this happens. It is mostly useful for button-like items and doesn't need to be overridden if the items shouldn't change their appearance when pressed.

Parameters

item	The item being pressed.

virtual void wxMouseEventsManager::MouseClickCancelled ( int item )

protectedvirtual

Must be overridden to reset the item appearance changed by MouseClickBegin().

This method is called if the mouse capture was lost while the item was pressed and must be overridden to restore the default item appearance if it was changed in MouseClickBegin().

See also: MouseDragCancelled(), wxMouseCaptureLostEvent

virtual bool wxMouseEventsManager::MouseClicked ( int item )

protectedpure virtual

Must be overridden to react to mouse clicks.

This method is called when the user clicked (i.e. pressed and released mouse over the same item) and should normally generate a notification about this click and return true if it was handled or false otherwise, determining whether the original mouse event is skipped or not.

Parameters

item	The item which was clicked.

Returns: true if the mouse event was processed and false otherwise.

virtual bool wxMouseEventsManager::MouseDragBegin	(	int	item,
		const wxPoint &	pos
	)

protectedpure virtual

Must be overridden to allow or deny dragging of the item.

This method is called when the user attempts to start dragging the given item.

Parameters

item	The item which is going to be dragged.
pos	The position from where it is being dragged.

Returns: true to allow the item to be dragged (in which case MouseDragging() and MouseDragEnd() will be called later, unless MouseDragCancelled() is called instead) or false to forbid it.

virtual void wxMouseEventsManager::MouseDragCancelled ( int item )

protectedpure virtual

Must be overridden to handle cancellation of mouse dragging.

This method is called when mouse capture is lost while dragging the item and normally should remove the visual feedback drawn by MouseDragging() as well as reset any internal variables set in MouseDragBegin().

See also: wxMouseCaptureLostEvent

virtual void wxMouseEventsManager::MouseDragEnd	(	int	item,
		const wxPoint &	pos
	)

protectedpure virtual

Must be overridden to handle item drop.

This method is called when the mouse is released after dragging the item. Normally the item should be positioned at the new location.

Parameters

item	The item which was dragged and now dropped.
pos	The position at which the item was dropped.

See also: MouseDragBegin(), MouseDragging()

virtual void wxMouseEventsManager::MouseDragging	(	int	item,
		const wxPoint &	pos
	)

protectedpure virtual

Must be overridden to provide feed back while an item is being dragged.

This method is called while the item is being dragged and should normally update the feedback shown on screen (usually this is done using wxOverlay).

Notice that this method will never be called for the items for which MouseDragBegin() returns false. Consequently, if MouseDragBegin() always returns false you can do nothing in this method.

Parameters

item	The item being dragged.
pos	The current position of the item.

See also: MouseDragEnd()

virtual int wxMouseEventsManager::MouseHitTest ( const wxPoint & pos )

protectedpure virtual

Must be overridden to return the item at the given position.

Parameters

pos	The position to test, in physical coordinates.

Returns: The index of the item at the given position or wxNOT_FOUND if there is no item there.
