How to get selected rows of wxGrid?

[bloodlee]

Hi, all. I met another problem about wxGrid.

Now, when I left click the rows of wxGrid, I want to get how many rows has been selected. So I use:

Code: Select all

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(RecordGrid, wxGrid)
EVT_GRID_CELL_LEFT_CLICK(RecordGrid::OnLeftClick)
END_EVENT_TABLE()

Code: Select all

void RecordGrid::OnLeftClick(wxGridEvent& event)
{
      wxArrayInt rows = GetSelectedRows();
      .....
      event.Skip();
}

And in the function of OnLeftClick(), I used GetSelectedRows() to get the selected rows. But I found the wxArrayInt is not right, and I think the reason is I can not get the right rows before wxGrid, the base class, handles this event.

I really need to get the selected rows when the selection changes. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,

There are events that wxGrid generates when the selected cells are changed.

Here's the code snippet from the sample that demonstrates how to get the info you need:

Code: Select all

    EVT_GRID_SELECT_CELL( GridFrame::OnSelectCell )
    EVT_GRID_RANGE_SELECT( GridFrame::OnRangeSelected )
...

void GridFrame::OnSelectCell( wxGridEvent& ev )
{
    wxString logBuf;
    if ( ev.Selecting() )
        logBuf << _T("Selected ");
    else
        logBuf << _T("Deselected ");
    logBuf << _T("cell at row ") << ev.GetRow()
           << _T(" col ") << ev.GetCol()
           << _T(" ( ControlDown: ")<< (ev.ControlDown() ? 'T':'F')
           << _T(", ShiftDown: ")<< (ev.ShiftDown() ? 'T':'F')
           << _T(", AltDown: ")<< (ev.AltDown() ? 'T':'F')
           << _T(", MetaDown: ")<< (ev.MetaDown() ? 'T':'F') << _T(" )");

    //Indicate whether this column was moved
    if ( ((wxGrid *)ev.GetEventObject())->GetColPos( ev.GetCol() ) != ev.GetCol() )
        logBuf << _T(" *** Column moved, current position: ") << ((wxGrid *)ev.GetEventObject())->GetColPos( ev.GetCol() );

    wxLogMessage( wxT("%s"), logBuf.c_str() );

    // you must call Skip() if you want the default processing
    // to occur in wxGrid
    ev.Skip();
}

void GridFrame::OnRangeSelected( wxGridRangeSelectEvent& ev )
{
    wxString logBuf;
    if ( ev.Selecting() )
        logBuf << _T("Selected ");
    else
        logBuf << _T("Deselected ");
    logBuf << _T("cells from row ") << ev.GetTopRow()
           << _T(" col ") << ev.GetLeftCol()
           << _T(" to row ") << ev.GetBottomRow()
           << _T(" col ") << ev.GetRightCol()
           << _T(" ( ControlDown: ")<< (ev.ControlDown() ? 'T':'F')
           << _T(", ShiftDown: ")<< (ev.ShiftDown() ? 'T':'F')
           << _T(", AltDown: ")<< (ev.AltDown() ? 'T':'F')
           << _T(", MetaDown: ")<< (ev.MetaDown() ? 'T':'F') << _T(" )");
    wxLogMessage( wxT("%s"), logBuf.c_str() );

    ev.Skip();
}

You could merge the two event handlers if you want and use
ev.GetEventType() to identify which event was raised.


Hope that helps,

Jim

Code: Select all

	wxArrayInt res;
	
	for( int i = 0 ; i < pGrid->GetNumberRows() ; ++i )
	{
		if( pGrid->IsInSelection( i, 0 ) )
			res.Add( i );
	}

Thanks, Jim and lester.

I've tried your methods, but the problem still exists.

Hi,

Which problem still exists?
Do you have the sample code: wx/samples/grid?
Based on your initial problem description, it looks like it shows how to do exactly what you want without having to use a
EVT_GRID_CELL_LEFT_CLICK event.

Hi,

I compiled the sample/grid and read the src. And I change the EVT_macro to EVT_GRID_SELECT_CELL and EVT_GRID_RANGE_SELECT.

But I can't get the right selected rows in the event handler, even I used the method which lester said.

Hi,

I'm presuming the sample worked. Can you post the code you're having trouble with?
