Custom controls

[frank_frl]

Hi Eran,

I tried the new custom control feature and really like the way you implemented it, but I miss two things when defining one:
1. A macro to set the given ID like

Code: Select all

$name = new MyControl($parent, $id, wxDefaultPosition);

2. A way to enter custom events, so that they are available in the 'Connect events...' list.


Nice work done

Best regards

Indeed, I missed the $id one. - I will add it

2. A way to enter custom events, so that they are available in the 'Connect events...' list.

This is actually a nice idea, I did not think of it - I will also implement this one

Some more

Issues:
Header from custom controls is added without '#include' and quotation marks.
Style wxLC_NO_SORT_HEADER missing for wxListCtrl.
Dialog preview starts in 'Fit content' style and jumps then to the entered size when one touches the gripper or border.


Missing features:
Align flag for 'Add List Column'.
Shortcut for 'Preview'.
Easy way to add subclassed elements, in DialogBlocks you can add a 'Foreign Window', then enter a base class, a class and the path to the header and source file to handle this.

Header from custom controls is added without '#include' and quotation marks.

This is the intended behavior (look at the tooltip of the text control)

Dialog preview starts in 'Fit content' style and jumps then to the entered size when one touches the gripper or border.

I am aware of this one... I could not make it go away, to me, its seems like an XRC bug (the C++ code that wxCrafter generates does not have this symptom)

Style wxLC_NO_SORT_HEADER missing for wxListCtrl.

Was this style available in wx28? - not according to the docs.
The designer is meant to work with both 28 and 29. However, I am now working on moving codelite to 2.9.4 under Linux as well - so once its done, I will remove all the
wx28 limitations

Shortcut for 'Preview'.

F5. Basically, when the wxCrafter plugin is 'active' i.e. the [wxCrafter] tab is selected, it will override the 'Start Debug' command. In a way, debugging in 'wxCrafter' means: Show Preview

Easy way to add subclassed elements

How is this different from 'custom controls' ?

One gets used to it.

I use this with 2.8.12 and it works. It's also available in wxFormBuilder and DialogBlocks.

Easy way to add subclassed elements

It's useful when you just want to add one subclassed element which is unique to your project and even to quickly generate custom controls if you add the feature to also generate the new subclass and add the files to the project. Just kind of luxury

Best regards and have a nice weekend

I could not find it here: http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxl ... wxlistctrl
This is why it was not there in the first place

But like I said, once the transition to 294 is completed (including linux) - I will add it
