Re: No wxTextCompleterSimple class? ( nope )

use base 'Wx::wxTextCompleterSimple'; # these lines copied verbatim

Copied from where? Doesn't follow the naming convention ( Wx::TextCompleterSimple )

also, wxperl_usage and the sources doesn't show this class as wrapped, and the docs say its fairly cutting edge feature

also, wxperl_usage uses a diy "autocomplete" feature

also, wxperl_usage shows Usage: Wx::RichTextCtrl::AutoComplete(THIS, choices) and Usage: Wx::TextCtrlBase::AutoComplete(THIS, choices)

also, unrelated, wxperl_demo --show wxPropertyGrid has autocomplete example buried

I like Wx :) Re: wxPerl: is BitmapFromImage implemented? (no;sleep;docs), my wxWidgets / wxPerl / wxGlade tutorial, http://www.wxperl.it/p/wxperl-primer.html , wxperl_usage / wxperl-usage / wxPerl::Usage / Class Method Browser , available methods, method invocation syntax, link to docs, Re^8: How to use wxHtmlEasyPrinting (On debugging, verify everything, talk to teddybear ... and links and links , Tutorials: Perl documentation documentation, Searching Perl Documentation

you don't need to build wx yourself, http://www.citrusperl.com/, http://ppm.wxperl.it/

Re^2: No wxTextCompleterSimple class? ( nope ) by einhverfr (Friar) on Nov 16, 2013 at 03:18 UTC
Thanks, the lines were copied from my source code. What I was trying to find is where I was going wrong. It looks like my system has wxwidgets 2.8 which is the main source of the problem. Apparently it is a good idea to follow the same version of docs and code... I ended up switching for now from textboxes to comboboxes to try to implement my own autocomplete that way. However if I setfocus to the combobox, it selects the text which makes it very hard to change the combinations in it. Do you know of a good way to do autocomplete with wxPerl and wxwidgets 2.8? Edit: Never mind. I found that the issue was that the best thing to do was to avoid setting the value, and instead process the items on the list.	[reply]

Did you bind an event for this , and did you remember to skip the event, so the value doesn't change? Do you know of a good way to do autocomplete with wxPerl and wxwidgets 2.8? I don't know how good it is, but it works for me, see wxperl_usage, the "Method list" text entry does the completing You could steal shamelessly the logic... from cpp implementations ... looks verbose to me :) wxWidgets Discussion Forum • View topic - Combobox autocomplete wxWidgets Discussion Forum • View topic - wxAutoComboBox wxWidgets Discussion Forum • View topic - wxAutoTextCtrl http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxWidgets/trunk/src/msw/textentry.cpp?view=markup...
