View Source wxScrolledWindow (wx v2.4.2)
The wxScrolled (not implemented in wx) class manages scrolling for its client area, transforming the coordinates according to the scrollbar positions, and setting the scroll positions, thumb sizes and ranges according to the area in view.
There are two commonly used (but not the only possible!) specializations of this class:
Note: See wxScrolled::Create()
(not implemented in wx) if you want to use
wxScrolled
(not implemented in wx) with a custom class.
Starting from version 2.4 of wxWidgets, there are several ways to use a
?wxScrolledWindow (and now wxScrolled
(not implemented in wx)). In particular,
there are three ways to set the size of the scrolling area:
One way is to set the scrollbars directly using a call to setScrollbars/6
.
This is the way it used to be in any previous version of wxWidgets and it will
be kept for backwards compatibility.
An additional method of manual control, which requires a little less computation
of your own, is to set the total size of the scrolling area by calling either
wxWindow:setVirtualSize/3
, or wxWindow:fitInside/1
, and setting the
scrolling increments for it by calling setScrollRate/3
. Scrolling in some
orientation is enabled by setting a non-zero increment for it.
The most automatic and newest way is to simply let sizers determine the
scrolling area. This is now the default when you set an interior sizer into a
wxScrolled
(not implemented in wx) with wxWindow:setSizer/3
. The scrolling
area will be set to the size requested by the sizer and the scrollbars will be
assigned for each orientation according to the need for them and the scrolling
increment set by setScrollRate/3
. As above, scrolling is only enabled in
orientations with a non-zero increment. You can influence the minimum size of
the scrolled area controlled by a sizer by calling
wxWindow::SetVirtualSizeHints(). (Calling setScrollbars/6
has analogous
effects in wxWidgets 2.4 - in later versions it may not continue to override the
sizer.)
Note that if maximum size hints are still supported by wxWindow::SetVirtualSizeHints(), use them at your own dire risk. They may or may not have been removed for 2.4, but it really only makes sense to set minimum size hints here. We should probably replace wxWindow::SetVirtualSizeHints() with wxWindow::SetMinVirtualSize() or similar and remove it entirely in future.
As with all windows, an application can draw onto a wxScrolled
(not
implemented in wx) using a device context.
You have the option of handling the OnPaint handler or overriding the
wxScrolled::OnDraw()
(not implemented in wx) function, which is passed a
pre-scrolled device context (prepared by doPrepareDC/2
).
If you don't wish to calculate your own scrolling, you must call doPrepareDC/2
when not drawing from within OnDraw()
(not implemented in wx), to set the
device origin for the device context according to the current scroll position.
A wxScrolled
(not implemented in wx) will normally scroll itself and therefore
its child windows as well. It might however be desired to scroll a different
window than itself: e.g. when designing a spreadsheet, you will normally only
have to scroll the (usually white) cell area, whereas the (usually grey) label
area will scroll very differently. For this special purpose, you can call
setTargetWindow/2
which means that pressing the scrollbars will scroll a
different window.
Note that the underlying system knows nothing about scrolling coordinates, so that all system functions (mouse events, expose events, refresh calls etc) as well as the position of subwindows are relative to the "physical" origin of the scrolled window. If the user insert a child window at position (10,10) and scrolls the window down 100 pixels (moving the child window out of the visible area), the child window will report a position of (10,-90).
Styles
This class supports the following styles:
Note: Don't confuse wxScrollWinEvents generated by this class with
wxScrollEvent
objects generated by wxScrollBar
and wxSlider
.
Remark: Use wxScrolled
(not implemented in wx) for applications where the user
scrolls by a fixed amount, and where a 'page' can be interpreted to be the
current visible portion of the window. For more sophisticated applications, use
the wxScrolled
(not implemented in wx) implementation as a guide to build your
own scroll behaviour or use wxVScrolledWindow
(not implemented in wx) or its
variants.
Since: The wxScrolled
(not implemented in wx) template exists since version
2.9.0. In older versions, only ?wxScrolledWindow (equivalent of
wxScrolled<wxPanel>) was available.

Types
-type wxScrolledWindow() :: wx:wx_object().
Functions
-spec calcScrolledPosition(This, Pt) -> {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()} when This :: wxScrolledWindow(), Pt :: {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}.
-spec calcScrolledPosition(This, X, Y) -> {Xx :: integer(), Yy :: integer()} when This :: wxScrolledWindow(), X :: integer(), Y :: integer().
Translates the logical coordinates to the device ones.
For example, if a window is scrolled 10 pixels to the bottom, the device coordinates of the origin are (0, 0) (as always), but the logical coordinates are (0, 10) and so the call to CalcScrolledPosition(0, 10, xx, yy) will return 0 in yy.
-spec calcUnscrolledPosition(This, Pt) -> {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()} when This :: wxScrolledWindow(), Pt :: {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}.
-spec calcUnscrolledPosition(This, X, Y) -> {Xx :: integer(), Yy :: integer()} when This :: wxScrolledWindow(), X :: integer(), Y :: integer().
Translates the device coordinates to the logical ones.
For example, if a window is scrolled 10 pixels to the bottom, the device coordinates of the origin are (0, 0) (as always), but the logical coordinates are (0, 10) and so the call to CalcUnscrolledPosition(0, 0, xx, yy) will return 10 in yy.
-spec destroy(This :: wxScrolledWindow()) -> ok.
Destroys the object.
-spec doPrepareDC(This, Dc) -> ok when This :: wxScrolledWindow(), Dc :: wxDC:wxDC().
Call this function to prepare the device context for drawing a scrolled image.
It sets the device origin according to the current scroll position.
doPrepareDC/2
is called automatically within the default wxEVT_PAINT
event
handler, so your OnDraw()
(not implemented in wx) override will be passed an
already 'pre-scrolled' device context. However, if you wish to draw from outside
of OnDraw()
(not implemented in wx) (e.g. from your own wxEVT_PAINT
handler), you must call this function yourself.
For example:
Notice that the function sets the origin by moving it relatively to the current
origin position, so you shouldn't change the origin before calling
doPrepareDC/2
or, if you do, reset it to (0, 0) later. If you call
doPrepareDC/2
immediately after device context creation, as in the example
above, this problem doesn't arise, of course, so it is customary to do it like
this.
-spec enableScrolling(This, XScrolling, YScrolling) -> ok when This :: wxScrolledWindow(), XScrolling :: boolean(), YScrolling :: boolean().
Enable or disable use of wxWindow:scrollWindow/4
for scrolling.
By default, when a scrolled window is logically scrolled,
wxWindow:scrollWindow/4
is called on the underlying window which scrolls the
window contents and only invalidates the part of the window newly brought into
view. If false is passed as an argument, then this "physical scrolling" is
disabled and the window is entirely invalidated whenever it is scrolled by
calling wxWindow:refresh/2
.
It should be rarely necessary to disable physical scrolling, so this method shouldn't be called in normal circumstances.
-spec getScrollPixelsPerUnit(This) -> {XUnit :: integer(), YUnit :: integer()} when This :: wxScrolledWindow().
Get the number of pixels per scroll unit (line), in each direction, as set by
setScrollbars/6
.
A value of zero indicates no scrolling in that direction.
-spec getViewStart(This) -> {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()} when This :: wxScrolledWindow().
This is a simple overload of GetViewStart(int,int); see that function for more info.
-spec new() -> wxScrolledWindow().
Default constructor.
-spec new(Parent) -> wxScrolledWindow() when Parent :: wxWindow:wxWindow().
-spec new(Parent, [Option]) -> wxScrolledWindow() when Parent :: wxWindow:wxWindow(), Option :: {winid, integer()} | {pos, {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}} | {size, {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}} | {style, integer()}.
Constructor.
Remark: The window is initially created without visible scrollbars. Call
setScrollbars/6
to specify how big the virtual window size should be.
-spec prepareDC(This, Dc) -> ok when This :: wxScrolledWindow(), Dc :: wxDC:wxDC().
This function is for backwards compatibility only and simply calls
doPrepareDC/2
now.
Notice that it is not called by the default paint event handle (doPrepareDC/2
is), so overriding this method in your derived class is useless.
-spec scroll(This, Pt) -> ok when This :: wxScrolledWindow(), Pt :: {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}.
This is an overload of scroll/3
; see that function for more info.
-spec scroll(This, X, Y) -> ok when This :: wxScrolledWindow(), X :: integer(), Y :: integer().
Scrolls a window so the view start is at the given point.
Remark: The positions are in scroll units, not pixels, so to convert to pixels you will have to multiply by the number of pixels per scroll increment. If either parameter is ?wxDefaultCoord (-1), that position will be ignored (no change in that direction).
setScrollbars(This, PixelsPerUnitX, PixelsPerUnitY, NoUnitsX, NoUnitsY)
View Source-spec setScrollbars(This, PixelsPerUnitX, PixelsPerUnitY, NoUnitsX, NoUnitsY) -> ok when This :: wxScrolledWindow(), PixelsPerUnitX :: integer(), PixelsPerUnitY :: integer(), NoUnitsX :: integer(), NoUnitsY :: integer().
-spec setScrollbars(This, PixelsPerUnitX, PixelsPerUnitY, NoUnitsX, NoUnitsY, [Option]) -> ok when This :: wxScrolledWindow(), PixelsPerUnitX :: integer(), PixelsPerUnitY :: integer(), NoUnitsX :: integer(), NoUnitsY :: integer(), Option :: {xPos, integer()} | {yPos, integer()} | {noRefresh, boolean()}.
Sets up vertical and/or horizontal scrollbars.
The first pair of parameters give the number of pixels per 'scroll step', i.e. amount moved when the up or down scroll arrows are pressed. The second pair gives the length of scrollbar in scroll steps, which sets the size of the virtual window.
xPos
and yPos
optionally specify a position to scroll to immediately.
For example, the following gives a window horizontal and vertical scrollbars with 20 pixels per scroll step, and a size of 50 steps (1000 pixels) in each direction:
wxScrolled
(not implemented in wx) manages the page size itself, using the
current client window size as the page size.
Note that for more sophisticated scrolling applications, for example where
scroll steps may be variable according to the position in the document, it will
be necessary to derive a new class from wxWindow
, overriding OnSize() and
adjusting the scrollbars appropriately.
-spec setScrollRate(This, Xstep, Ystep) -> ok when This :: wxScrolledWindow(), Xstep :: integer(), Ystep :: integer().
Set the horizontal and vertical scrolling increment only.
See the pixelsPerUnit parameter in setScrollbars/6
.
-spec setTargetWindow(This, Window) -> ok when This :: wxScrolledWindow(), Window :: wxWindow:wxWindow().
Call this function to tell wxScrolled
(not implemented in wx) to perform the
actual scrolling on a different window (and not on itself).
This method is useful when only a part of the window should be scrolled. A
typical example is a control consisting of a fixed header and the scrollable
contents window: the scrollbars are attached to the main window itself, hence
it, and not the contents window must be derived from wxScrolled
(not
implemented in wx), but only the contents window scrolls when the scrollbars are
used. To implement such setup, you need to call this method with the contents
window as argument.
Notice that if this method is used, GetSizeAvailableForScrollTarget()
(not
implemented in wx) method must be overridden.
