wxStdDialogButtonSizer Class Reference

#include <wx/sizer.h>

+ Inheritance diagram for wxStdDialogButtonSizer:

Detailed Description

This class creates button layouts which conform to the standard button spacing and ordering defined by the platform or toolkit's user interface guidelines (if such things exist).

By using this class, you can ensure that all your standard dialogs look correct on all major platforms. Currently it conforms to the Windows, GTK+ and macOS human interface guidelines.

When there aren't interface guidelines defined for a particular platform or toolkit, wxStdDialogButtonSizer reverts to the Windows implementation.

To use this class, first add buttons to the sizer by calling wxStdDialogButtonSizer::AddButton (or wxStdDialogButtonSizer::SetAffirmativeButton, wxStdDialogButtonSizer::SetNegativeButton or wxStdDialogButtonSizer::SetCancelButton) and then call Realize in order to create the actual button layout used. Other than these special operations, this sizer works like any other sizer.

If you add a button with wxID_SAVE, on macOS the button will be renamed to "Save" and the wxID_NO button will be renamed to "Don't Save" in accordance with the macOS Human Interface Guidelines.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ wxStdDialogButtonSizer()

wxStdDialogButtonSizer::wxStdDialogButtonSizer ( )

Constructor for a wxStdDialogButtonSizer.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AddButton()

void wxStdDialogButtonSizer::AddButton ( wxButton button)

Adds a button to the wxStdDialogButtonSizer.

The button must have one of the following identifiers:

  • wxID_OK
  • wxID_YES
  • wxID_SAVE
  • wxID_APPLY
  • wxID_CLOSE
  • wxID_NO
  • wxID_CANCEL
  • wxID_HELP
  • wxID_CONTEXT_HELP

◆ CalcMin()

virtual wxSize wxStdDialogButtonSizer::CalcMin ( )
virtual

Implements the calculation of a box sizer's minimal.

It is used internally only and must not be called by the user. Documented for information.

Reimplemented from wxBoxSizer.

◆ Realize()

void wxStdDialogButtonSizer::Realize ( )

Rearranges the buttons and applies proper spacing between buttons to make them match the platform or toolkit's interface guidelines.

◆ RepositionChildren()

virtual void wxStdDialogButtonSizer::RepositionChildren ( const wxSize minSize)
virtual

Method which must be overridden in the derived sizer classes.

The implementation should reposition the children using the current total size available to the sizer (m_size) and the size computed by the last call to CalcMin().

Since
3.1.3, before this version RecalcSizes() method not taking any arguments had to be overridden in the derived classes instead.

Reimplemented from wxBoxSizer.

◆ SetAffirmativeButton()

void wxStdDialogButtonSizer::SetAffirmativeButton ( wxButton button)

Sets the affirmative button for the sizer.

This allows you to use identifiers other than the standard identifiers outlined above.

◆ SetCancelButton()

void wxStdDialogButtonSizer::SetCancelButton ( wxButton button)

Sets the cancel button for the sizer.

This allows you to use identifiers other than the standard identifiers outlined above.

◆ SetNegativeButton()

void wxStdDialogButtonSizer::SetNegativeButton ( wxButton button)

Sets the negative button for the sizer.

This allows you to use identifiers other than the standard identifiers outlined above.
