## Detailed Description

This is the base class for browsers.

To be useful it must be subclassed and several virtual functions defined. The Forms-compatible browser and the file chooser's browser are subclassed off of this.

This has been designed so that the subclass has complete control over the storage of the data, although because next() and prev() functions are used to index, it works best as a linked list or as a large block of characters in which the line breaks must be searched for.

A great deal of work has been done so that the "height" of a data object does not need to be determined until it is drawn. This is useful if actually figuring out the size of an object requires accessing image data or doing stat() on a file or doing some other slow operation.

## Keyboard navigation of browser items

The keyboard navigation of browser items is only possible if visible_focus() is enabled. If disabled, the widget rejects keyboard focus; Tab and Shift-Tab focus navigation will skip the widget.

In 'Select' and 'Normal' mode, the widget rejects keyboard focus; no navigation keys are supported (other than scrollbar positioning).

In 'Hold' mode, the widget accepts keyboard focus, and Up/Down arrow keys can navigate the selected item.

In 'Multi' mode, the widget accepts keyboard focus, and Up/Down arrow keys navigate the focus box; Space toggles the current item's selection, Enter selects only the current item (deselects all others). If Shift (or Ctrl) is combined with Up/Down arrow keys, the current item's selection state is extended to the next item. In this way one can extend a selection or de-selection.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Fl_Browser_::Fl_Browser_ | ( | int | X,
|  | int | Y,
|  | int | W,
|  | int | H,
|  | const char * | L = `0`
| ) |  |

protected

The constructor makes an empty browser.

Parameters

  [in] | X,Y,W,H | position and size.
  [in] | L | The label string, may be NULL.

## Member Function Documentation

void Fl_Browser_::bbox | ( | int & | X,
|  | int & | Y,
|  | int & | W,
|  | int & | H
| ) |  | const

protected

Returns the bounding box for the interior of the list's display window, inside the scrollbars.

Parameters

  [out] | X,Y,W,H | The returned bounding box. (The original contents of these parameters are overwritten)

void Fl_Browser_::deleting | ( | void * | item | ) |

protected

This method should be used when `item` is being deleted from the list.

It allows the Fl_Browser_ to discard any cached data it has on the item. This method does not actually delete the item, but handles the follow up bookkeeping after the item has just been deleted.

Parameters

  [in] | item | The item being deleted.

int Fl_Browser_::deselect | ( | int | docallbacks = `0` | ) |

Deselects all items in the list and returns 1 if the state changed or 0 if it did not.

If the optional `docallbacks` parameter is non-zero, deselect tries to call the callback function for the widget.

Parameters

  [in] | docallbacks | If 1, invokes widget callback if item changed. If 0, doesn't do callback (default).

void Fl_Browser_::display | ( | void * | item | ) |

Displays the `item`, scrolling the list as necessary.

Parameters

  [in] | item | The item to be displayed.

See Also
  display(), displayed()

int Fl_Browser_::displayed | ( | void * | item | ) | const

protected

Returns non-zero if `item` has been scrolled to a position where it is being displayed.

Checks to see if the item's vertical position is within the top and bottom edges of the display window. This does NOT take into account the hide()/show() status of the widget or item.

Parameters

  [in] | item | The item to check

Returns
  1 if visible, 0 if not visible.

See Also
  display(), displayed()

void * Fl_Browser_::find_item | ( | int | ypos | ) |

protected

This method returns the item under mouse y position `ypos`.

NULL is returned if no item is displayed at that position.

Parameters

  [in] | ypos | The y position (eg. Fl::event_y()) to find an item under.

Returns
  The item, or NULL if not found

int Fl_Browser_::full_height | ( |  | ) | const

protectedvirtual

This method may be provided by the subclass to indicate the full height of the item list, in pixels.

The default implementation computes the full height from the item heights. Includes the items that are scrolled off screen.

Returns
  The height of the entire list, in pixels.

Reimplemented in Fl_Browser.

int Fl_Browser_::full_width | ( |  | ) | const

protectedvirtual

This method may be provided by the subclass to indicate the full width of the item list, in pixels.

The default implementation computes the full width from the item widths.

Returns
  The maximum width of all the items, in pixels.

int Fl_Browser_::handle | ( | int | event | ) |

virtual

Handles the `event` within the normal widget bounding box.

Parameters

  [in] | event | The event to process.

Returns
  1 if event was processed, 0 if not.

Reimplemented from Fl_Widget.

Reimplemented in Fl_Check_Browser.

void Fl_Browser_::has_scrollbar | ( | uchar | mode | ) |

inline

Sets whether the widget should have scrollbars or not (default Fl_Browser_::BOTH).

By default you can scroll in both directions, and the scrollbars disappear if the data will fit in the widget. has_scrollbar() changes this based on the value of `mode:`

- 0 - No scrollbars.

- Fl_Browser_::HORIZONTAL - Only a horizontal scrollbar.

- Fl_Browser_::VERTICAL - Only a vertical scrollbar.

- Fl_Browser_::BOTH - The default is both scrollbars.

- Fl_Browser_::HORIZONTAL_ALWAYS - Horizontal scrollbar always on, vertical always off.

- Fl_Browser_::VERTICAL_ALWAYS - Vertical scrollbar always on, horizontal always off.

- Fl_Browser_::BOTH_ALWAYS - Both always on.

int Fl_Browser_::hposition | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Gets the horizontal scroll position of the list as a pixel position `pos`.

The position returned is how many pixels of the list are scrolled off the left edge of the screen. Example: A position of '18' indicates the left 18 pixels of the list are scrolled off the left edge of the screen.

See Also
  position(), hposition()

void Fl_Browser_::hposition | ( | int | pos | ) |

Sets the horizontal scroll position of the list to pixel position `pos`.

The position is how many pixels of the list are scrolled off the left edge of the screen. Example: A position of '18' scrolls the left 18 pixels of the list off the left edge of the screen.

Parameters

void Fl_Browser_::resize | ( | int | X,
|  | int | Y,
|  | int | W,
|  | int | H
| ) |  |

virtual

Repositions and/or resizes the browser.

Parameters

  [in] | X,Y,W,H | The new position and size for the browser, in pixels.

Reimplemented from Fl_Widget.

void Fl_Browser_::scrollbar_left | ( |  | ) |

inline

Moves the vertical scrollbar to the lefthand side of the list.

For back compatibility.

void Fl_Browser_::scrollbar_right | ( |  | ) |

inline

Moves the vertical scrollbar to the righthand side of the list.

For back compatibility.

int Fl_Browser_::scrollbar_size | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Gets the current size of the scrollbars' troughs, in pixels.

If this value is zero (default), this widget will use the Fl::scrollbar_size() value as the scrollbar's width.

Returns
  Scrollbar size in pixels, or 0 if the global Fl::scrollsize() is being used.

See Also
  Fl::scrollbar_size(int)

void Fl_Browser_::scrollbar_size | ( | int | newSize | ) |

inline

Sets the pixel size of the scrollbars' troughs to `newSize`, in pixels.

Normally you should not need this method, and should use Fl::scrollbar_size(int) instead to manage the size of ALL your widgets' scrollbars. This ensures your application has a consistent UI, is the default behavior, and is normally what you want.

Only use THIS method if you really need to override the global scrollbar size. The need for this should be rare.

Setting `newSize` to the special value of 0 causes the widget to track the global Fl::scrollbar_size(), which is the default.

Parameters

  [in] | newSize | Sets the scrollbar size in pixels. If 0 (default), scrollbar size tracks the global Fl::scrollbar_size()

See Also
  Fl::scrollbar_size()

int Fl_Browser_::scrollbar_width | ( |  | ) | const

inline

This method has been deprecated, existing for backwards compatibility only.

Use scrollbar_size() instead. This method always returns the global value Fl::scrollbar_size().

Returns
  Always returns the global value Fl::scrollbar_size().

Todo:
  This method should eventually be removed in 1.4+

void Fl_Browser_::scrollbar_width | ( | int | width | ) |

inline

This method has been deprecated, existing for backwards compatibility only.

Use scrollbar_size(int) instead. This method sets the global Fl::scrollbar_size(), and forces this instance of the widget to use it.

Todo:
  This method should eventually be removed in 1.4+

int Fl_Browser_::select | ( | void * | item,
|  | int | val = `1`,
|  | int | docallbacks = `0`
| ) |  |

Sets the selection state of `item` to `val`, and returns 1 if the state changed or 0 if it did not.

If `docallbacks` is non-zero, select tries to call the callback function for the widget.

Parameters

  [in] | item | The item whose selection state is to be changed
  [in] | val | The new selection state (1=select, 0=de-select)
  [in] | docallbacks | If 1, invokes widget callback if item changed. If 0, doesn't do callback (default).

Returns
  1 if state was changed, 0 if not.

int Fl_Browser_::select_only | ( | void * | item,
|  | int | docallbacks = `0`
| ) |  |

Selects `item` and returns 1 if the state changed or 0 if it did not.

Any other items in the list are deselected.

Parameters

  [in] | item | The `item` to select.
  [in] | docallbacks | If 1, invokes widget callback if item changed. If 0, doesn't do callback (default).

void* Fl_Browser_::selection | ( |  | ) | const

inlineprotected

Returns the item currently selected, or NULL if there is no selection.

For multiple selection browsers this call returns the currently focused item, even if it is not selected. To find all selected items, call Fl_Multi_Browser::selected() for every item in question.

void Fl_Browser_::sort | ( | int | flags = `0` | ) |

Sort the items in the browser based on `flags`.

item_swap(void*, void*) and item_text(void*) must be implemented for this call.

Parameters

  [in] | flags | FL_SORT_ASCENDING – sort in ascending order FL_SORT_DESCENDING – sort in descending order Values other than the above will cause undefined behavior Other flags may appear in the future.

Todo:
  Add a flag to ignore case

void Fl_Browser_::swapping | ( | void * | a,
|  | void * | b
| ) |  |

protected

This method should be used when two items `a` and `b` are being swapped.

It allows the Fl_Browser_ to update its cache data as needed, schedules a redraw for the two items, and tries to maintain the current selection. This method does not actually swap items, but handles the follow up bookkeeping after items have been swapped.

Parameters

  [in] | a,b | Items being swapped.

Fl_Font Fl_Browser_::textfont | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Gets the default text font for the lines in the browser.
