View Source wxListbook (wx v2.4.3)

wxListbook is a class similar to wxNotebook but which uses a wxListCtrl to show the labels instead of the tabs.

The underlying wxListCtrl displays page labels in a one-column report view by default. Calling wxBookCtrl::SetImageList will implicitly switch the control to use an icon view.

For usage documentation of this class, please refer to the base abstract class wxBookCtrl. You can also use the page_samples_notebook to see wxListbook in action.

Styles

This class supports the following styles:

  • wxLB_DEFAULT: Choose the default location for the labels depending on the current platform (left everywhere except Mac where it is top).

  • wxLB_TOP: Place labels above the page area.

  • wxLB_LEFT: Place labels on the left side.

  • wxLB_RIGHT: Place labels on the right side.

  • wxLB_BOTTOM: Place labels below the page area.

This class is derived, and can use functions, from:

addPage(This, Page, Text)

View Source
-spec addPage(This, Page, Text) -> boolean()
                 when This :: wxListbook(), Page :: wxWindow:wxWindow(), Text :: unicode:chardata().

Equivalent to addPage(This, Page, Text, []).

-spec addPage(This, Page, Text, [Option]) -> boolean()
                 when
                     This :: wxListbook(),
                     Page :: wxWindow:wxWindow(),
                     Text :: unicode:chardata(),
                     Option :: {bSelect, boolean()} | {imageId, integer()}.

Adds a new page.

The page must have the book control itself as the parent and must not have been added to this control previously.

The call to this function will generate the page changing and page changed events if select is true, but not when inserting the very first page (as there is no previous page selection to switch from in this case and so it wouldn't make sense to e.g. veto such event).

Return: true if successful, false otherwise.

Remark: Do not delete the page, it will be deleted by the book control.

See: insertPage/5

-spec advanceSelection(This) -> ok when This :: wxListbook().

Equivalent to advanceSelection(This, []).

-spec advanceSelection(This, [Option]) -> ok when This :: wxListbook(), Option :: {forward, boolean()}.

Cycles through the tabs.

The call to this function generates the page changing events.

changeSelection(This, Page)

View Source
-spec changeSelection(This, Page) -> integer() when This :: wxListbook(), Page :: integer().

getPageImage(This, NPage)

View Source
-spec getPageImage(This, NPage) -> integer() when This :: wxListbook(), NPage :: integer().

Returns the image index for the given page.

getPageText(This, NPage)

View Source
-spec getPageText(This, NPage) -> unicode:charlist() when This :: wxListbook(), NPage :: integer().

Returns the string for the given page.

-spec getSelection(This) -> integer() when This :: wxListbook().

Returns the currently selected page, or wxNOT\_FOUND if none was selected.

Note that this method may return either the previously or newly selected page when called from the EVT_BOOKCTRL_PAGE_CHANGED handler depending on the platform and so wxBookCtrlEvent:getSelection/1 should be used instead in this case.

-spec hitTest(This, Pt) -> Result
                 when
                     Result :: {Res :: integer(), Flags :: integer()},

                     Pt :: {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}.

Returns the index of the tab at the specified position or wxNOT\_FOUND if none.

If flags parameter is non-NULL, the position of the point inside the tab is returned as well.

Return: Returns the zero-based tab index or wxNOT_FOUND if there is no tab at the specified position.
