org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Combo

All Implemented Interfaces:: Adaptable, Drawable

public class Combo extends Composite

Instances of this class are controls that allow the user to choose an item from a list of items, or optionally enter a new value by typing it into an editable text field. Often, Combos are used in the same place where a single selection List widget could be used but space is limited. A Combo takes less space than a List widget and shows similar information.

Note: Since Combos can contain both a list and an editable text field, it is possible to confuse methods which access one versus the other (compare for example, clearSelection() and deselectAll()). The API documentation is careful to indicate either "the receiver's list" or the "the receiver's text field" to distinguish between the two cases.

Note that although this class is a subclass of Composite, it does not make sense to add children to it, or set a layout on it.

Styles:: DROP_DOWN, READ_ONLY
Events:: DefaultSelection, Modify, Selection

IMPORTANT: This class is not intended to be subclassed.

- computeSize
  
  public Point computeSize(int wHint, int hHint, boolean changed)
  
  Description copied from class: Control
  
  Returns the preferred size of the receiver.
  The preferred size of a control is the size that it would best be displayed at. The width hint and height hint arguments allow the caller to ask a control questions such as "Given a particular width, how high does the control need to be to show all of the contents?" To indicate that the caller does not wish to constrain a particular dimension, the constant SWT.DEFAULT is passed for the hint.
  If the changed flag is true, it indicates that the receiver's contents have changed, therefore any caches that a layout manager containing the control may have been keeping need to be flushed. When the control is resized, the changed flag will be false, so layout manager caches can be retained.
  Overrides:
  
  computeSize in class Composite
  
  Parameters:
  
  wHint - the width hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
  
  hHint - the height hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
  
  changed - true if the control's contents have changed, and false otherwise
  
  Returns:
  
  the preferred size of the control.

- addSelectionListener
  
  public void addSelectionListener(SelectionListener listener)
  
  Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when the receiver's selection changes, by sending it one of the messages defined in the SelectionListener interface.
  widgetSelected is called when the combo's list selection changes. widgetDefaultSelected is typically called when ENTER is pressed the combo's text area.
  Parameters:
  
  listener - the listener which should be notified
  
  Throws:
  
  IllegalArgumentException -
  
  ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null
