My wxHexTextValidator

Post by shaohao »

Here is my HexText Validator.

Have a fun:)

Code: Select all

class wxHexTextValidator : public wxValidator
{
protected:
	int m_maxLen, m_minLen;
	wxString * m_strValue;
public:
	wxHexTextValidator(wxString *val, int maxLen = -1, int minLen = 0)
		: m_strValue(val)
		, m_maxLen(maxLen), m_minLen(minLen)
	{
	}
	wxHexTextValidator(const wxHexTextValidator & val)
		: wxValidator()
	{
		Copy(val);
	}
	// Make a clone of this validator (or return NULL) - currently necessary
	// if you're passing a reference to a validator.
	// Another possibility is to always pass a pointer to a new validator
	// (so the calling code can use a copy constructor of the relevant class).
	wxObject* Clone() const // Note the 'const' here
	{
		return new wxHexTextValidator(*this);
	}
	bool Copy(const wxHexTextValidator& val)
	{
		wxValidator::Copy(val);
		m_strValue = val.m_strValue;
		m_minLen = val.m_minLen;
		m_maxLen = val.m_maxLen;
		return true;
	}

	// Called to transfer data from the window
	bool TransferFromWindow()
	{
		if( !CheckValidator()) return false;
		if ( m_strValue) *m_strValue = ((wxTextCtrl *)m_validatorWindow)->GetValue();
		return true;
	}
	// Called to transfer data to the window
	bool TransferToWindow()
	{
		if( !CheckValidator()) return false;
		if ( m_strValue) ((wxTextCtrl *)m_validatorWindow)->SetValue( (*m_strValue).Upper());
		return true;
	}
	// Called when the value in the window must be validated.
	// This function can pop up an error message.
	bool Validate(wxWindow* parent)
	{
		wxString val(((wxTextCtrl*)m_validatorWindow)->GetValue());

		// valid the length
		size_t len = val.Len();
		if ( len < m_minLen || (m_maxLen > 0 && len > m_maxLen))
			return false;

		// valid the value
		for ( size_t i = 0; i < val.Len(); ++i) {
			if ( !wxIsxdigit(val[i])) return false;
		}
		return true;
	}
	bool CheckValidator() const
	{
		wxCHECK_MSG(m_validatorWindow,false,_T("No window associated with validator"));
		wxCHECK_MSG(m_validatorWindow->IsKindOf(CLASSINFO(wxTextCtrl)),false,_T("wxTextValidator is only for wxTextCtrl's"));
		return true;
	}
	void OnChar(wxKeyEvent& event)
	{
		if ( m_validatorWindow ) {
			wxTextCtrl * ctrl = (wxTextCtrl *)m_validatorWindow;
			size_t len = ctrl->GetValue().Len() - ctrl->GetStringSelection().Len();
			int keyCode = event.GetKeyCode();

			// we don't filter special keys and Delete
			if ( keyCode < WXK_SPACE || keyCode == WXK_DELETE || keyCode > WXK_START) {
				event.Skip();
				return ;
			}

			// validate length & character/input
			if ( 
				(m_maxLen > 0 &&  (len + 1) > m_maxLen) // valid length
				||
				!wxIsxdigit(keyCode) // character
			   )
			{
				if ( !wxValidator::IsSilent()) wxBell();
				// eat message
				return ;
			}

			// Uppercase
			if ( wxIsxdigit(keyCode)) {
				wxChar c = wxToupper(keyCode);
				ctrl->WriteText( c);
				// eat msg! we have done it
				return;
			}
		}
	}
DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE();
};

Code: Select all

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(wxHexTextValidator, wxValidator)
	EVT_CHAR(wxHexTextValidator::OnChar)
END_EVENT_TABLE()

Neat. If you used Connect(), you could cut the cpp part, DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE/BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE/END_EVENT_TABLE.

You can just use the wxRegexValidator, instead of writing a new class for HEX characters validation.
