Problems with deselecting an Item in wxListCtrl

[phlox81]

Hi,

I have wxListCtrl in Iconmode, and need to deselect the item after its been selected.
The Programm is meant for a touchscreen device, so when you hit an item, it displays a dialog, and after the dialog returns, it should deselect the item.

My Code in the selection handler:

Code: Select all

void Frame::Onm_itemlistItemSelect(wxListEvent& event)
{
    int i = event.GetIndex();
	
	if( i >= 0 && i <= 5)
	{
        (this->*m_callmap[i]])();
		//event.Skip(false);
		m_itemlist->SetItemState(i, 0, wxLIST_STATE_SELECTED|wxLIST_STATE_FOCUSED);
	}
}

This works, but the handler is then beeing called a second time, so that the dialog pops up twice.

So, how to solve this?

Are you saying that you get 2 Select events? That would be wrong, but it doesn't happen in the listctrl sample with 2.9

You probably checked this already but anyway: is by any chance the second one a Deselect event? Or check that you did not connect the event handler twice..
Does it also happen if you do not show the dialog?

In the worst case as a quick workaround you can put a flag (ignoreNextSelectEvent) that will be set to true by the first event and just unset by the second. Not perfect but should handle the described scenario.

Its only happening if I have the code for deselecting in, without it does not happen.

I'm using wx2.8.6/11. (have to).

I already tried static bool guard = true/false; but thats a hack and it really didn't work that well.
