wxTreeCtrl with the style wxTR_MULTIPLE, missing events

Post by bfi2 »

Hi,

I use wxTreeCtrl with the style wxTR_MULTIPLE. Under some circumstances I found a strange behaviour in my application. There are missing selection changed events under the conditions I’ll describe below:

Select Item 1, (multi)select Item(s) 2...n.

If I unselect the last selected Item no Event is received by my application that applies for all following left-clicks on this item. Same behaviour I can see running the sample application “treetest.cpp” coming with wxWidgets.

I'm currently using wxWidgets 2.8.7 Windows. Is there any solution for this issue in the meantime?

Thanks
Qasim

I fixed that problem by using on mouse left button up event. There was nothing else which gets notified if you select and unselect the same item (using CTRL key). I did something like this

Code: Select all

tree->Connect(wxEVT_LEFT_UP, wxMouseEventHandler(TreeView::OnMouseUp), NULL, this);
then

Code: Select all

void TreeView::OnMouseUp(wxMouseEvent& e)
{
wxArrayTreeItemIds	mSelectedItems;
mTreeCtrl->GetSelections(mSelectedItems);
//mSelected items will have corrent number of selected items now
}
Hope that helps
