Iterating through controls with control ID number

[Ugly!]

Is there a way to iterate trought controls using the control's ID number.
I mean, if i have 20 checkboxes, is there a way to check the state of each one of them using the control ID and incremating this ID (asuming secuentials IDs numbers)???
I could do this with the win32 Api - SendMessage() function -, but i can't find a way to do this in wxWidgets yet.

Yes you can by the wxWindow::FindWindowByID [1]. You have just to pass the parent adress and the ID, and it return the corresponding child wxWindow adress.

You can also use the wxWindow::GetChildren [2] but it is useless.

Thanx for answering
Now...lets see...how do i use the child address? Is it the pointer of the control? Do i have to cast it? Can u give a small example plz?

My idea is:

Code: Select all

wxCheckbox temp;

temp=wxWindow::FindWindowById(ID_CHECKBOX1,this);
if(temp->IsChecked()) count++;

Any way thanx a lot, i ll try and see what happens.

Well, FindWindowsById returns a pointer!
Do it this way:

Code: Select all

wxCheckBox* temp = wxWindow::FindWindowById(ID_CHECKBOX1, this);
if(temp->IsChecked()) count++;

To be sure you can also use wxDynamicCast and wxStaticCast to see if the control you get the ID back from is a proper wxCheckBox control.
