Functions for wxSizerFlags class

Container for sizer items flags providing readable names for them.

Normally, when you add an item to a sizer via wxSizer:add/4, you have to specify a lot of flags and parameters which can be unwieldy. This is where wxSizerFlags comes in: it allows you to specify all parameters using the named methods instead. For example, instead of

you can now write

This is more readable and also allows you to create wxSizerFlags objects which can be reused for several sizer items.

Note that by specification, all methods of wxSizerFlags return the wxSizerFlags object itself to allowing chaining multiple methods calls like in the examples above.

Summary

Functions

Sets the alignment of this wxSizerFlags to align.

Sets the wxSizerFlags to have a border with size as returned by GetDefaultBorder() (not implemented in wx).

Sets the wxSizerFlags to have a border of a number of pixels specified by borderinpixels with the directions specified by direction.

Sets the object of the wxSizerFlags to center itself in the area it is given.

Destroys the object.

Sets the object of the wxSizerFlags to expand to fill as much area as it can.

Aligns the object to the left, similar for Align(wxALIGN_LEFT).

Creates the wxSizer with the proportion specified by proportion.

Sets the proportion of this wxSizerFlags to proportion.

Aligns the object to the right, similar for Align(wxALIGN_RIGHT).

Types

-type wxSizerFlags() :: wx:wx_object().

Functions

-spec align(This, Alignment) -> wxSizerFlags() when This :: wxSizerFlags(), Alignment :: integer().

Sets the alignment of this wxSizerFlags to align.

This method replaces the previously set alignment with the specified one.

See: Top() (not implemented in wx), left/1, right/1, Bottom() (not implemented in wx), centre/1

-spec border(This) -> wxSizerFlags() when This :: wxSizerFlags().
-spec border(This, [Option]) -> wxSizerFlags()
          when This :: wxSizerFlags(), Option :: {direction, integer()}.

Sets the wxSizerFlags to have a border with size as returned by GetDefaultBorder() (not implemented in wx).

border(This, Direction, Borderinpixels)

View Source
-spec border(This, Direction, Borderinpixels) -> wxSizerFlags()
          when This :: wxSizerFlags(), Direction :: integer(), Borderinpixels :: integer().

Sets the wxSizerFlags to have a border of a number of pixels specified by borderinpixels with the directions specified by direction.

Prefer to use the overload below or DoubleBorder() (not implemented in wx) or TripleBorder() (not implemented in wx) versions instead of hard-coding the border value in pixels to avoid too small borders on devices with high DPI displays.

-spec center(This) -> wxSizerFlags() when This :: wxSizerFlags().

Sets the object of the wxSizerFlags to center itself in the area it is given.

-spec centre(This) -> wxSizerFlags() when This :: wxSizerFlags().

See: center/1.

-spec destroy(This :: wxSizerFlags()) -> ok.

Destroys the object.

-spec expand(This) -> wxSizerFlags() when This :: wxSizerFlags().

Sets the object of the wxSizerFlags to expand to fill as much area as it can.

-spec left(This) -> wxSizerFlags() when This :: wxSizerFlags().

Aligns the object to the left, similar for Align(wxALIGN_LEFT).

Unlike align/2, this method doesn't change the vertical alignment of the item.

-spec new() -> wxSizerFlags().
-spec new([Option]) -> wxSizerFlags() when Option :: {proportion, integer()}.

Creates the wxSizer with the proportion specified by proportion.

proportion(This, Proportion)

View Source
-spec proportion(This, Proportion) -> wxSizerFlags()
              when This :: wxSizerFlags(), Proportion :: integer().

Sets the proportion of this wxSizerFlags to proportion.

-spec right(This) -> wxSizerFlags() when This :: wxSizerFlags().

Aligns the object to the right, similar for Align(wxALIGN_RIGHT).

Unlike align/2, this method doesn't change the vertical alignment of the item.
