wx.adv.BitmapComboBox¶A combobox that displays bitmap in front of the list items.
It currently only allows using bitmaps of one size, and resizes itself so that a bitmap can be shown next to the text field.
^^
Window Styles¶This class supports the following styles:
wx.CB_READONLY: Creates a combobox without a text editor. On some platforms the control may appear very different when this style is used.
wx.CB_SORT: Sorts the entries in the list alphabetically.
wx.TE_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). Windows only. ^^
^^
Events Emitted by this Class¶Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a wx.CommandEvent parameter.
EVT_COMBOBOX: Process a wxEVT_COMBOBOX event, when an item on the list is selected.
EVT_TEXT: Process a wxEVT_TEXT event, when the combobox text changes.
EVT_TEXT_ENTER: Process a wxEVT_TEXT_ENTER event, when RETURN is pressed in the combobox. ^^
Note
While wx.adv.BitmapComboBox contains the wx.ComboBox API, but it might not actually be derived from that class. In fact, if the platform does not have a native implementation, wx.adv.BitmapComboBox will inherit from wx.adv.OwnerDrawnComboBox. You can determine if the implementation is generic by checking whether GENERIC_BITMAPCOMBOBOX is defined. Currently wx.adv.BitmapComboBox is implemented natively for MSW and GTK+.

Class API¶wx.adv.BitmapComboBox(Control, TextEntry, ItemContainer)¶Possible constructors:
BitmapComboBox()
BitmapComboBox(parent, id=ID_ANY, value="", pos=DefaultPosition,
size=DefaultSize, choices=[], style=0, validator=DefaultValidator,
name=BitmapComboBoxNameStr)
A combobox that displays bitmap in front of the list items.
__init__(self, *args, **kw)¶__init__ (self)
Default constructor.
__init__ (self, parent, id=ID_ANY, value=””, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, choices=[], style=0, validator=DefaultValidator, name=BitmapComboBoxNameStr)
Constructor, creating and showing a combobox.
parent (wx.Window) – Parent window. Must not be None.
id (wx.WindowID) – Window identifier. The value wx.ID_ANY indicates a default value.
value (string) – Initial selection string. An empty string indicates no selection.
pos (wx.Point) – Initial position.
size (wx.Size) – Initial size.
choices (list of strings) – A list of strings with which to initialise the control.
style (long) – The window style, see CB_ flags.
validator (wx.Validator) – Validator which can be used for additional data checks.
name (string) – Control name.
Append(self, *args, **kw)¶Append (self, item, bitmap=NullBitmap)
Adds the item to the end of the combo box.
item (string) –
bitmap (wx.Bitmap) –
int
Append (self, item, bitmap, clientData)
Adds the item to the end of the combo box, associating the given typed client data pointer clientData with the item.
item (string) –
bitmap (wx.Bitmap) –
clientData (ClientData) –
int
Create(self, parent, id=ID_ANY, value="", pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, choices=[], style=0, validator=DefaultValidator, name=BitmapComboBoxNameStr)¶Creates the combobox for two-step construction.
parent (wx.Window) –
id (wx.WindowID) –
value (string) –
pos (wx.Point) –
size (wx.Size) –
choices (list of strings) –
style (long) –
validator (wx.Validator) –
name (string) –
bool
Dismiss(self)¶Hides the list box portion of the combo box.
Currently this method is implemented in wxMSW, wxGTK and OSX/Cocoa.
Notice that calling this function will generate a wxEVT_COMBOBOX_CLOSEUP event except under wxOSX where generation of this event is not supported at all.
New in version 2.9.1.
FindString(self, string, caseSensitive=False)¶Finds an item whose label matches the given string.
string (string) – String to find.
caseSensitive (bool) – Whether search is case sensitive (default is not).
int
The zero-based position of the item, or wx.NOT_FOUND if the string was not found.
GetBitmapSize(self)¶Returns the size of the bitmaps used in the combo box.
If the combo box is empty, then wx.DefaultSize is returned.
Size
GetClassDefaultAttributes(variant=WINDOW_VARIANT_NORMAL)¶variant (WindowVariant) –
VisualAttributes
GetInsertionPoint(self)¶Same as wx.TextEntry.GetInsertionPoint .
long
Note
Under wxMSW, this function always returns 0 if the combobox doesn’t have the focus.
GetItemBitmap(self, n)¶Returns the bitmap of the item with the given index.
n (int) –
Bitmap
GetSelection(self)¶Returns the index of the selected item or NOT_FOUND if no item is selected.
int
The position of the current selection.
See also
GetTextSelection(self)¶Gets the current selection span.
If the returned values are equal, there was no selection. Please note that the indices returned may be used with the other wx.TextCtrl methods but don’t necessarily represent the correct indices into the string returned by GetValue for multiline controls under Windows (at least,) you should use GetStringSelection to get the selected text.
tuple
GetString(self, n)¶Returns the label of the item with the given index.
The index must be valid, i.e. less than the value returned by GetCount , otherwise an assert is triggered. Notably, this function can’t be called if the control is empty.
n (int) – The zero-based index.
string
The label of the item.
Insert(self, *args, **kw)¶Insert (self, item, bitmap, pos)
Inserts the item into the list before pos.
Not valid for CB_SORT style, use Append instead.
item (string) –
bitmap (wx.Bitmap) –
pos (int) –
int
Insert (self, item, bitmap, pos, clientData)
Inserts the item into the list before pos, associating the given typed client data pointer with the item.
Not valid for CB_SORT style, use Append instead.
item (string) –
bitmap (wx.Bitmap) –
pos (int) –
clientData (ClientData) –
int
IsListEmpty(self)¶Returns True if the list of combobox choices is empty.
Use this method instead of (not available in this class) IsEmpty to test if the list of items is empty.
bool
New in version 2.9.3.
IsTextEmpty(self)¶Returns True if the text of the combobox is empty.
Use this method instead of (not available in this class) IsEmpty to test if the text currently entered into the combobox is empty.
bool
New in version 2.9.3.
Popup(self)¶Shows the list box portion of the combo box.
Currently this method is implemented in wxMSW, wxGTK and OSX/Cocoa.
Notice that calling this function will generate a wxEVT_COMBOBOX_DROPDOWN event except under wxOSX where generation of this event is not supported at all.
New in version 2.9.1.
SetItemBitmap(self, n, bitmap)¶Sets the bitmap for the given item.
n (int) –
bitmap (wx.BitmapBundle) –
SetSelection(self, *args, **kw)¶SetSelection (self, from_, to_)
Same as wx.TextEntry.SetSelection .
from_ (long) –
to_ (long) –
SetSelection (self, n)
Sets the selection to the given item n or removes the selection entirely if n == NOT_FOUND .
Note that this does not cause any command events to be emitted nor does it deselect any other items in the controls which support multiple selections.
n (int) – The string position to select, starting from zero.
SetString(self, n, text)¶Changes the text of the specified combobox item.
Notice that if the item is the currently selected one, i.e. if its text is displayed in the text part of the combobox, then the text is also replaced with the new text.
n (int) –
text (string) –
SetTextSelection(self, from_, to_)¶Same as wx.TextEntry.SetSelection .
from_ (long) –
to_ (long) –
SetValue(self, text)¶Sets the text for the combobox text field.
For normal, editable comboboxes with a text entry field calling this method will generate a wxEVT_TEXT event, consistently with wx.TextEntry.SetValue behaviour, use wx.TextEntry.ChangeValue if this is undesirable.
For controls with CB_READONLY style the method behaves somewhat differently: the string must be in the combobox choices list (the check for this is case-insensitive) and wxEVT_TEXT is not generated in this case.
text (string) – The text to set.
