+ Inheritance diagram for wxSearchCtrl:

Detailed Description

A search control is a composite control with a search button, a text control, and a cancel button.

Styles

This class supports the following styles:

  • wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER:
    The control will generate the event wxEVT_TEXT_ENTER (otherwise pressing Enter key is either processed internally by the control or used for navigation between dialog controls).
  • wxTE_PROCESS_TAB:
    The control will receive wxEVT_CHAR events for TAB pressed - normally, TAB is used for passing to the next control in a dialog instead. For the control created with this style, you can still use Ctrl-Enter to pass to the next control from the keyboard.
  • wxTE_NOHIDESEL:
    By default, the Windows text control doesn't show the selection when it doesn't have focus - use this style to force it to always show it. It doesn't do anything under other platforms.
  • wxTE_LEFT:
    The text in the control will be left-justified (default).
  • wxTE_CENTRE:
    The text in the control will be centered (currently wxMSW and wxGTK2 only).
  • wxTE_RIGHT:
    The text in the control will be right-justified (currently wxMSW and wxGTK2 only).
  • wxTE_CAPITALIZE:
    On PocketPC and Smartphone, causes the first letter to be capitalized.

Events emitted by this class

The following event handler macros redirect the events to member function handlers 'func' with prototypes like:

void handlerFuncName(wxCommandEvent& event)

Event macros for events emitted by this class:

To retrieve actual search queries, use EVT_TEXT and EVT_TEXT_ENTER events, just as you would with wxTextCtrl.
  • EVT_SEARCHCTRL_SEARCH_BTN(id, func):
    Respond to a wxEVT_SEARCHCTRL_SEARCH_BTN event, generated when the search button is clicked. Note that this does not initiate a search on its own, you need to perform the appropriate action in your event handler. You may use
    event.GetString()
    to retrieve the string to search for in the event handler code.
  • EVT_SEARCHCTRL_CANCEL_BTN(id, func):
    Respond to a wxEVT_SEARCHCTRL_CANCEL_BTN event, generated when the cancel button is clicked.
