Floating points in wxSpinCtrl and pixel width of wxStaticTex Topic is solved

[simotix]

1) Is there a way to have floating points in wxSpinCtrl?

2) Is there a way to find out the pixel width of the label in wxStaticText?

1) Is there a way to have floating points in wxSpinCtrl?

The wxThings package contains a class wxSpinCtrlDbl. It handles floating point values in a wxSpinCtrl.

2) Is there a way to find out the pixel width of the label in wxStaticText?

http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxw ... textextent

The wxWindow::GetTextExtent function returns the dimensions of the string as it would be drawn on the window with the currently selected font.

If you need pixel sizes you must convert the coordinates (x,y values) to pixels using the following function:

wxWindow::ConvertDialogToPixels

Ah ok, thank you. I have one other question about wxSpinCtrl's. I have a control named "wxLocationControl" and in side of it there is a wxSpinCtrl. I want to have an event for when the spinControl's numeric is changed and I want to keep it in the wxLocationControl class. How can I do this?

I thought I could do something like this, but I was wrong.
spinCtrl->Connect(wxSpinEvent, wxSpinEvent(wxcLocationControl::xNumericChanged), NULL, this);

So I tried something like this and was wrong again
#define X_NUMERIC_CHANGED 0

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(wxcLocationControl, wxcCollapsibleWindow)
EVT_SPINCTRL(X_NUMERIC_CHANGED, wxcLocationControl::xNumericChanged)
END_EVENT_TABLE()

wxcLocationControl::wxcLocationControl(wxWindow *parent, wxWindowID id,
const wxPoint &pos, const wxSize &size, const long borderType,
const wxColour &titleBackgroundColor)

{

spinCtrl = new wxSpinCtrl(GetBodyPanel(), X_NUMERIC_CHANGED);

}

void wxcLocationControl::xNumericChanged(wxSpinEvent& event)
{

}

Code: Select all

spinCtrl->Connect(wxSpinEvent, wxSpinEvent(wxcLocationControl::xNumericChanged), NULL, this); 

This is wrong, and I'm surprised it compiles; the first parameter needs to be the ID of the event, in this case something like wxEVT_SPIN (unfortunately the documentation of these IDs is quite lacking, the stable docks don't seem to mention the Connect equivalent to the EVT_SPIN macro)

How can I bind some sort of EVT_SPIN to a SpinCtrl then?

I would believe :

Code: Select all

spinCtrl->Connect(wxEVT_SPIN, wxSpinEvent(wxcLocationControl::xNumericChanged), NULL, this);

I would believe :

Code: Select all

spinCtrl->Connect(wxEVT_SPIN, wxSpinEvent(wxcLocationControl::xNumericChanged), NULL, this);

wxWidgets does not seem to know what wxEVT_SPIN is though, I tried looking for it in the docs too.

error C2065: 'wxEVT_SPIN' : undeclared identifier

Have you included following header?

Code: Select all

#include <wx/spinctrl.h>

Yes, it is needed for the wxSpinCtrl to even work.

Does anyone know?

[simotix]

Nobody knows how to fix this issue?

[doublemax]

try wxEVT_COMMAND_SPINCTRL_UPDATED instead of wxEVT_SPIN

[simotix]

try wxEVT_COMMAND_SPINCTRL_UPDATED instead of wxEVT_SPIN

Oh thank you, that is how to fix it. My end result was,

spinCtrl->Connect(wxEVT_COMMAND_SPINCTRL_UPDATED, wxSpinEventHandler(wxcLocationControl::xNumericChanged), NULL, this);
