wxtextvalidator::wxtextvalidator

wxtextvalidator(const wxtextvalidator& validator)

copy constructor.

wxtextvalidator(long style = wxfilter_none, wxstring* valptr = null)

constructor, taking a style and optional pointer to a wxstring variable.

parameters

style

wxfilter_none no filtering takes place.

wxfilter_ascii non-ascii characters are filtered out.

wxfilter_alpha non-alpha characters are filtered out.

wxfilter_alphanumeric non-alphanumeric characters are filtered out.

wxfilter_numeric non-numeric characters are filtered out.

wxfilter_include_list use an include list. the validator checks if the user input is on the list, complaining if not. see wxtextvalidator::setincludes.

wxfilter_exclude_list use an exclude list. the validator checks if the user input is on the list, complaining if it is. see wxtextvalidator::setexcludes.

wxfilter_include_char_list use an include list. the validator checks if each input character is in the list (one character per list element), complaining if not. see wxtextvalidator::setincludes.

wxfilter_exclude_char_list use an include list. the validator checks if each input character is in the list (one character per list element), complaining if it is. see wxtextvalidator::setexcludes.

valptr

a pointer to a wxstring variable that contains the value. this variable should have a lifetime equal to or longer than the validator lifetime (which is usually determined by the lifetime of the window).

wxtextvalidator::clone

virtual wxvalidator* clone() const

clones the text validator using the copy constructor.

wxtextvalidator::getexcludes

wxarraystring& getexcludes() const

returns a reference to the exclude list (the list of invalid values).

wxtextvalidator::getincludes

wxarraystring& getincludes() const

returns a reference to the include list (the list of valid values).

wxtextvalidator::getstyle

long getstyle() const

returns the validator style.

wxtextvalidator::onchar

void onchar(wxkeyevent& event)

receives character input from the window and filters it according to the current validator style.

wxtextvalidator::setexcludes

void setexcludes(const wxarraystring& stringlist)

sets the exclude list (invalid values for the user input).

wxtextvalidator::setincludes

void setincludes(const wxarraystring& stringlist)

sets the include list (valid values for the user input).

wxtextvalidator::setstyle

void setstyle(long style)

sets the validator style.

wxtextvalidator::transferfromwindow

virtual bool transferfromwindow()

transfers the value in the text control to the string.

wxtextvalidator::transfertowindow

virtual bool transfertowindow()

transfers the string value to the text control.

wxtextvalidator::validate

virtual bool validate(wxwindow* parent)

validates the window contents against the include or exclude lists, depending on the validator style.
