It currently only allows using bitmaps of one size, and resizes itself so that a bitmap can be shown next to the text field. ^^ .. _BitmapComboBox-styles: |styles| 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. ^^ ^^ .. _BitmapComboBox-events: |events| Events Emitted by this Class ===================================== Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a :ref:`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 :ref:`wx.adv.BitmapComboBox` contains the :ref:`wx.ComboBox` API, but it might not actually be derived from that class. In fact, if the platform does not have a native implementation, :ref:`wx.adv.BitmapComboBox` will inherit from :ref:`wx.adv.OwnerDrawnComboBox`. You can determine if the implementation is generic by checking whether ``GENERIC_BITMAPCOMBOBOX`` is defined. Currently :ref:`wx.adv.BitmapComboBox` is implemented natively for MSW and GTK+. .. seealso:: :ref:`wx.ComboBox`, :ref:`wx.Choice`, :ref:`wx.adv.OwnerDrawnComboBox`, :ref:`wx.CommandEvent` .. todo:: create ``CB_PROCESS_ENTER`` rather than reusing ``wx.TE_PROCESS_ENTER``! | |class_hierarchy| Class Hierarchy ================================= .. raw:: html

` **Append** `(self, item, bitmap=NullBitmap)` Adds the item to the end of the combo box. :param `item`: :type `item`: string :param `bitmap`: :type `bitmap`: wx.Bitmap :rtype: `int` :html:`

` **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. :param `item`: :type `item`: string :param `bitmap`: :type `bitmap`: wx.Bitmap :param `clientData`: :type `clientData`: ClientData :rtype: `int` :html:`

` .. method:: 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. :param `parent`: :type `parent`: wx.Window :param `id`: :type `id`: wx.WindowID :param `value`: :type `value`: string :param `pos`: :type `pos`: wx.Point :param `size`: :type `size`: wx.Size :param `choices`: :type `choices`: list of strings :param `style`: :type `style`: long :param `validator`: :type `validator`: wx.Validator :param `name`: :type `name`: string :rtype: `bool` .. method:: 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. .. versionadded:: 2.9.1 .. method:: FindString(self, string, caseSensitive=False) Finds an item whose label matches the given string. :param `string`: String to find. :type `string`: string :param `caseSensitive`: Whether search is case sensitive (default is not). :type `caseSensitive`: bool :rtype: `int` :returns: The zero-based position of the item, or ``wx.NOT_FOUND`` if the string was not found. .. method:: GetBitmapSize(self) Returns the size of the bitmaps used in the combo box.

If the returned values are equal, there was no selection. Please note that the indices returned may be used with the other :ref:`wx.TextCtrl` methods but don't necessarily represent the correct indices into the string returned by :meth:`~wx.TextEntry.GetValue` for multiline controls under Windows (at least,) you should use :meth:`~wx.TextEntry.GetStringSelection` to get the selected text. :rtype: `tuple` .. method:: 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 :meth:`GetCount` , otherwise an assert is triggered. Notably, this function can't be called if the control is empty. :param `n`: The zero-based index. :type `n`: int :rtype: `string` :returns: The label of the item. .. method:: Insert(self, *args, **kw) |overload| Overloaded Implementations: :html:`

Use this method instead of (not available in this class) :meth:`~wx.TextEntry.IsEmpty` to test if the text currently entered into the combobox is empty. :rtype: `bool` .. versionadded:: 2.9.3 .. method:: Popup(self) Shows the list box portion of the combo box. Currently this method is implemented in wxMSW, wxGTK and OSX/Cocoa.

` **SetSelection** `(self, n)` Sets the selection to the given item `n` or removes the selection entirely if `n` == ``NOT_FOUND`` .

` .. method:: SetString(self, n, text) Changes the text of the specified combobox item.

For normal, editable comboboxes with a text entry field calling this method will generate a ``wxEVT_TEXT`` event, consistently with :meth:`wx.TextEntry.SetValue` behaviour, use :meth:`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. :param `text`: The text to set. :type `text`: string .. attribute:: BitmapSize See :meth:`~wx.adv.BitmapComboBox.GetBitmapSize` .. attribute:: Count See :meth:`~wx.adv.BitmapComboBox.GetCount` .. attribute:: InsertionPoint See :meth:`~wx.adv.BitmapComboBox.GetInsertionPoint` .. attribute:: Selection See :meth:`~wx.adv.BitmapComboBox.GetSelection` and :meth:`~wx.adv.BitmapComboBox.SetSelection`
