Detailed Description

GUI editors, e.g., wxFormBuilder, typically allow users to lay out instances of controls.

However, wxVListBox is an abstract class, so a GUI editor can only create instances of a subclass of wxVListBox. Rather than require every GUI editor to repeat the work of subclassing wxVListBox for GUI editing, and because the user's intended subclass will not exist in GUI editors, provide a class that GUI editors can use. Also, the wxVListBoxXmlHandler can create instances of this class when in wxXRC_NO_SUBCLASSING mode;

Library: wxCore

		wxWindowID	id = wxID_ANY,
		const wxPoint &	pos = wxDefaultPosition,

Member Function Documentation

◆ Create()

bool wxXRCPreviewVListBox::Create	(	wxWindow *	parent,
		wxWindowID	id = wxID_ANY,
		const wxPoint &	pos = wxDefaultPosition,
		const wxSize &	size = wxDefaultSize,
		long	style = 0,
		const wxString &	name = wxXRCPreviewVListBoxNameStr )

Creates the control.

To finish creating it you also should call SetItemCount() to let it know about the number of items it contains.

The only special style which may be used with wxXRCPreviewVListBox is wxLB_MULTIPLE which indicates that the listbox should support multiple selection.

Returns: true on success or false if the control couldn't be created.
