C# Class SIL.FieldWorks.Common.Widgets.ComboListBox

A "Combo" list box is one that can launch itself as a stand-alone, yet modal window, like the drop-down list in a Combo. It can also be used for other drop-down lists, for example, from an icon button. It is displayed using the Launch method. It is automatically hidden if the user clicks outside it (and the click is absorbed in the process). The item the user is hovering over is highlighted.

Public Methods

Method	Description
AdjustSize ( int maxWidth, int maxHeight ) : void	Adjust the size of the list box, so it is just large enough to show all items, or at most the size specified by the arguments (or at least 100x10).
HideForm ( ) : void	Hide the containing form (and thus the list box as a whole).
HighlightItemStartingWith ( string start ) : void	Cycle the selection to the next item that begins with the specified text. (Case insensitive. Trims whitespace in list items.)
Launch ( Rectangle launcherBounds, Rectangle screenBounds ) : void	Launch the ComboListBox. Typical usage, where 'this' is a control that the list should appear below: m_listBox.Launch(Parent.RectangleToScreen(Bounds), Screen.GetWorkingArea(this)); Or, where rect is a rectangle in the client area of control 'this': m_listBox.Launch(RectangleToScreen(rect), Screen.GetWorkingArea(this); (Be sure to set the height and width of the ComboListBox first.)
OnCapturedClick ( ) : void	This is called when the embedded InnerFwListBox detects a click outside its bounds, which happens only when it has been told to capture the mouse. ComboListBox overrides this to close the list box.

Protected Methods

Method	Description
Dispose ( bool disposing ) : void	Clean up any resources being used.
OnLostFocus ( EventArgs e ) : void	If a combo list box loses focus, hide it.

Method Details

AdjustSize() public method

Adjust the size of the list box, so it is just large enough to show all items, or at most the size specified by the arguments (or at least 100x10).

public AdjustSize ( int maxWidth, int maxHeight ) : void
maxWidth	int
maxHeight	int
return	void

Dispose() protected method

Clean up any resources being used.

protected Dispose ( bool disposing ) : void
disposing	bool
return	void

HideForm() public method

Hide the containing form (and thus the list box as a whole).

public HideForm ( ) : void
return	void

HighlightItemStartingWith() public method

Cycle the selection to the next item that begins with the specified text. (Case insensitive. Trims whitespace in list items.)

public HighlightItemStartingWith ( string start ) : void
start	string	the search key
return	void

Launch() public method

Launch the ComboListBox. Typical usage, where 'this' is a control that the list should appear below: m_listBox.Launch(Parent.RectangleToScreen(Bounds), Screen.GetWorkingArea(this)); Or, where rect is a rectangle in the client area of control 'this': m_listBox.Launch(RectangleToScreen(rect), Screen.GetWorkingArea(this); (Be sure to set the height and width of the ComboListBox first.)

public Launch ( Rectangle launcherBounds, Rectangle screenBounds ) : void
launcherBounds	System.Drawing.Rectangle	A rectangle in 'screen' coordinates indicating where to display the list. Typically, as shown /// above, the location of something the user clicked to make the list display. It's significance is that /// the list will usually be shown with its top left just to the right of the bottom left of the rectangle, and /// (if the list width has not already been set explicitly) its width will match the rectangle. If there is not /// room to displya the list below this rectangle, it will be displayed above instead.
screenBounds	System.Drawing.Rectangle	A rectangle in 'screen' coordinates indicating the location of the actual screen /// that the list is to appear on.
return	void

OnCapturedClick() public method

This is called when the embedded InnerFwListBox detects a click outside its bounds, which happens only when it has been told to capture the mouse. ComboListBox overrides this to close the list box.

public OnCapturedClick ( ) : void
return	void

OnLostFocus() protected method

If a combo list box loses focus, hide it.

protected OnLostFocus ( EventArgs e ) : void
e	System.EventArgs
return	void
