phoenix_title wx.ItemContainerImmutable

wx.ItemContainer defines an interface which is implemented by all controls which have string subitems each of which may be selected.

It is decomposed in wx.ItemContainerImmutable which omits all methods adding/removing items and is used by wx.RadioBox and wx.ItemContainer itself.

Note that this is not a control, it’s a mixin interface that classes have to derive from in addition to wx.Control or wx.Window.

Examples: wx.ListBox, wx.CheckListBox, wx.Choice and wx.ComboBox (which implements an extended interface deriving from this one)

method_summary Methods Summary

__init__

Constructor.

FindString

Finds an item whose label matches the given string.

GetCount

Returns the number of items in the control.

GetSelection

Returns the index of the selected item or NOT_FOUND if no item is selected.

GetString

Returns the label of the item with the given index.

GetStringSelection

Returns the label of the selected item or an empty string if no item is selected.

GetStrings

Returns the array of the labels of all items in the control.

IsEmpty

Returns True if the control is empty or False if it has some items.

Select

This is the same as SetSelection and exists only because it is slightly more natural for controls which support multiple selection.

SetSelection

Sets the selection to the given item n or removes the selection entirely if n == NOT_FOUND .

SetString

Sets the label for the given item.

SetStringSelection

Selects the item with the specified string in the control.

Possible constructors:

ItemContainerImmutable()

ItemContainer defines an interface which is implemented by all controls which have string subitems each of which may be selected.


Methods

__init__(self)

Constructor.



FindString(self, string, caseSensitive=False)

Finds an item whose label matches the given string.

Parameters
  • string (string) – String to find.

  • caseSensitive (bool) – Whether search is case sensitive (default is not).

Return type

int

Returns

The zero-based position of the item, or wx.NOT_FOUND if the string was not found.



GetCount(self)

Returns the number of items in the control.

Return type

int

See also

IsEmpty



GetSelection(self)

Returns the index of the selected item or NOT_FOUND if no item is selected.

Return type

int

Returns

The position of the current selection.



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.

Parameters

n (int) – The zero-based index.

Return type

string

Returns

The label of the item.



GetStringSelection(self)

Returns the label of the selected item or an empty string if no item is selected.

Return type

string

See also

GetSelection



GetStrings(self)

Returns the array of the labels of all items in the control.

Return type

list of strings



IsEmpty(self)

Returns True if the control is empty or False if it has some items.

Return type

bool

GetCount



Select(self, n)

This is the same as SetSelection and exists only because it is slightly more natural for controls which support multiple selection.

Parameters

n (int) –



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.

Parameters

n (int) – The string position to select, starting from zero.



SetString(self, n, string)

Sets the label for the given item.

Parameters
  • n (int) – The zero-based item index.

  • string (string) – The label to set.



SetStringSelection(self, string)

Selects the item with the specified string in the control.

This method doesn’t cause any command events to be emitted.

Notice that this method is case-insensitive, i.e. the string is compared with all the elements of the control case-insensitively and the first matching entry is selected, even if it doesn’t have exactly the same case as this string and there is an exact match afterwards.

Parameters

string (string) – The string to select.

Return type

bool

Returns

True if the specified string has been selected, False if it wasn’t found in the control.
