SYNOPSIS

#include <agar/core.h>
#include <agar/gui.h>

DESCRIPTION

The AG_UCombo widget displays an AG_Button(3), which causes a popup AG_Tlist(3) to be displayed when pressed. The list disappears when an option is selected.

INHERITANCE HIERARCHY

AG_Object(3)-> AG_Widget(3)-> AG_UCombo.

INITIALIZATION

AG_UCombo * AG_UComboNew (AG_Widget *parent, Uint flags)

AG_UCombo * AG_UComboNewPolled (AG_Widget *parent, Uint flags, AG_EventFn fn, const char *fmt, ...)

void AG_UComboSizeHint (AG_UCombo *com, const char *text, int nitems)

void AG_UComboSizeHintPixels (AG_UCombo *com, int w, int h)

The AG_UComboNew() function allocates, initializes, and attaches a new AG_UCombo widget. Acceptable flags include:

AG_UCOMBO_SCROLLTOSEL	Scroll to initial selection if it is not visible.
AG_UCOMBO_HFILL	Expand horizontally in parent (equivalent to invoking AG_ExpandHoriz(3)).
AG_UCOMBO_VFILL	Expand vertically in parent (equivalent to invoking AG_ExpandVert(3)).
AG_UCOMBO_EXPAND	Shorthand for AG_UCOMBO_HFILL\|AG_UCOMBO_VFILL.

The AG_UComboNewPolled() constructor configures a polled AG_Tlist(3) and assigns the polling function.

The AG_UComboSizeHint() function arranges for the AG_Tlist(3) widget displayed on popup to request a size large enough to display the given number of items. The AG_UComboSizeHintPixels() variant specifies the size of the list in pixels.

EVENTS

The AG_UCombo widget generates the following events:

ucombo-selected (AG_TlistItem *item)

An item was selected.

STRUCTURE DATA

For the AG_UCombo object:

*AG_Tlist list**	Pointer to the AG_Tlist(3) displayed by AG_UCombo when expanded (read-only).
*AG_Button button**	Pointer to the underlying AG_Button(3) widget (read-only).

EXAMPLES

The following code fragment reacts to a AG_UCombo selection event by displaying a text dialog:

void
Selected(AG_Event *event)
{
	AG_TlistItem *item = AG_PTR(1);
	AG_TextMsg(AG_MSG_INFO, "Selected item: %s", item->text);
}

... 

AG_UCombo *com;

com = AG_UComboNew(NULL, 0);
AG_TlistAdd(com->list, NULL, "Foo");
AG_TlistAdd(com->list, NULL, "Bar");
AG_SetEvent(com, "ucombo-selected", Selected, NULL);

HISTORY

The AG_UCombo widget first appeared in Agar 1.0.
