Detailed Description

A combination of the input widget and a menu button.

The user can either type into the input area, or use the menu button chooser on the right to choose an item which loads the input area with the selected text.

The application can directly access both the internal Fl_Input and Fl_Menu_Button widgets respectively using the input() and menubutton() accessor methods.

The default behavior is to invoke the Fl_Input_Choice::callback() if the user changes the input field's contents, either by typing, pasting, or clicking a different item in the choice menu.

The callback can determine if an item was picked vs. typing into the input field by checking the value of menubutton()->changed(), which will be:

- 1: the user picked a different item in the choice menu
- 0: the user typed or pasted directly into the input field
Example Use of Fl_Input_Choice
#include <stdio.h>
#include <FL/Fl.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Double_Window.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Input_Choice.H>
// Fl_Input_Choice callback()
void choice_cb(Fl_Widget *w, void *userdata) {
// Show info about the picked item
printf("*** Choice Callback:\n");
printf(" widget's text value='%s'\n", choice->value()); // normally all you need
// Access the menu via menubutton()..
const Fl_Menu_Item *item = choice->menubutton()->mvalue();
printf(" item label()='%s'\n", item ? item->label() : "(No item)");
printf(" item value()=%d\n", choice->menubutton()->value());
printf(" input value()='%s'\n", choice->input()->value());
printf(" The user %s\n", choice->menubutton()->changed()
? "picked a menu item"
: "typed text");
}
int main() {
Fl_Double_Window win(200,100,"Input Choice");
win.begin();
Fl_Input_Choice choice(10,10,100,30);
choice.callback(choice_cb, 0);
choice.add("Red");
choice.add("Orange");
choice.add("Yellow");
//choice.value("Red"); // uncomment to make "Red" default
win.end();
win.show();
return Fl::run();

Subclassing Example
One can subclass Fl_Input_Choice to override the virtual methods inp_x/y/w/h() and menu_x/y/w/h() to take control of the internal Fl_Input and Fl_Menu_Button widget positioning. In this example, input and menubutton's positions are swapped:
#include <FL/Fl.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Window.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Input_Choice.H>
class MyInputChoice : public Fl_Input_Choice {
protected:
virtual int inp_x() const { return x() + Fl::box_dx(box()) + menu_w(); } // override to reposition
virtual int menu_x() const { return x() + Fl::box_dx(box()); } // override to reposition
public:
MyInputChoice(int X,int Y,int W,int H,const char*L=0) : Fl_Input_Choice(X,Y,W,H,L) {
resize(X,Y,W,H); // necessary for ctor to trigger our overrides
}
};
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
Fl_Window *win = new Fl_Window(400,300);
MyInputChoice *mychoice = new MyInputChoice(150,40,150,25,"Right Align Input");

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Fl_Input_Choice()

Fl_Input_Choice::Fl_Input_Choice ( int  X,
int  Y,
int  W,
int  H,
const char *  L = 0 
)

Creates a new Fl_Input_Choice widget using the given position, size, and label string.

Inherited destructor destroys the widget and any values associated with it.

Member Function Documentation

◆ add()

void Fl_Input_Choice::add ( const char *  s)
inline

Adds an item to the menu.

When any item is selected, the Fl_Input_Choice callback() is invoked, which can do something with the selected item.

You can access the more complex Fl_Menu_Button::add() methods (setting item-specific callbacks, userdata, etc), via menubutton(). Example:

Fl_Input_Choice *choice = new Fl_Input_Choice(100,10,120,25,"Fonts");
Fl_Menu_Button *mb = choice->menubutton(); // use Fl_Input_Choice's Fl_Menu_Button

◆ inp_x()

virtual int Fl_Input_Choice::inp_x ( ) const
inlineprotectedvirtual

The methods inp_x(), inp_y(), inp_w() and inp_h() return the desired position and size of the internal Fl_Input widget.

These can be overridden by a subclass to redefine positioning. See code example in the Description for subclassing details.

◆ input()

Fl_Input * Fl_Input_Choice::input ( )
inline

Returns a pointer to the internal Fl_Input widget.

This can be used to directly access all of the Fl_Input widget's methods.

◆ menu_x()

virtual int Fl_Input_Choice::menu_x ( ) const
inlineprotectedvirtual

The methods menu_x(), menu_y(), menu_w() and menu_h() return the desired position and size of the internal Fl_Menu_Button widget.

These can be overridden by a subclass to redefine positioning. See code example in the Description for subclassing details.

◆ menubutton()

Fl_Menu_Button * Fl_Input_Choice::menubutton ( )
inline

Returns a pointer to the internal Fl_Menu_Button widget.

This can be used to access any of the methods of the menu button, e.g.

Fl_Input_Choice *choice = new Fl_Input_Choice(100,10,120,25,"Choice:");
[..]
// Print all the items in the choice menu
for ( int t=0; t<choice->menubutton()->size(); t++ ) {
const Fl_Menu_Item &item = choice->menubutton()->menu()[t];
printf("item %d -- label=%s\n", t, item.label() ? item.label() : "(Null)");
}
const Fl_Menu_Item * menu() const
Returns a pointer to the array of Fl_Menu_Items.
Definition Fl_Menu_.H:133
void size(int W, int H)
Changes the size of the widget.

◆ resize()

void Fl_Input_Choice::resize ( int  X,
int  Y,
int  W,
int  H 
)
virtual

Resizes the Fl_Input_Choice widget.

Reimplemented from Fl_Group.

◆ update_menubutton()

int Fl_Input_Choice::update_menubutton ( )

Updates the menubutton with the string value in Fl_Input.

If the string value currently in Fl_Input matches one of the menu items in menubutton(), that menu item will become the current item selected.

Call this method after setting value(const char*) if you need the menubutton() to be synchronized with the Fl_Input field.

// Add items
choice->add(".25");
choice->add(".50");
choice->add("1.0");
choice->add("2.0");
choice->add("4.0");
choice->value("1.0"); // sets Fl_Input to "1.0"
choice->update_menubutton(); // cause menubutton to reflect this value too
// (returns 1 if match was found, 0 if not)
// Verify menubutton()'s value.
printf("menu button choice index=%d, value=%s\n",
choice->menubutton()->value(), // would be -1 if update not done
choice->menubutton()->text()); // would be NULL if update not done
Returns
1 if a matching menuitem was found and value set, 0 if not.
Version

◆ value() [1/2]

void Fl_Input_Choice::value ( const char *  val)
inline

Sets the Fl_Input text field's contents to val.

Note it is possible to set the value() to one that is not in the menubutton's list of choices.

Setting the value() does NOT affect the menubutton's selection. If that's needed, call update_menubutton() after setting value().

See also
void value(int val), update_menubutton()

◆ value() [2/2]

void Fl_Input_Choice::value ( int  val)

Chooses item# val in the menu, and sets the Fl_Input text field to that value.

Any previous text is cleared.
