wxGridCellChoiceEditor(3)

💖 wxGridCellChoiceEditor(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Erlang module definition for wxGridCellChoiceEditor — yes it's a manual page, yes it's giving documentation core, but like… stay with me, it's actually useful 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

wxGridCellChoiceEditor — the grid cell editor for string data that hands the user a lil dropdown moment: a choice from a list of strings 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the way this works, the docs just say see these other icons first — go peek at them, they're the family:

• wxGridCellEditor
• wxGridCellBoolEditor
• wxGridCellFloatEditor
• wxGridCellNumberEditor
• wxGridCellTextEditor

And this class is derived, and can use functions, from:

• wxGridCellEditor

wxWidgets docs: wxGridCellChoiceEditor (go read those too, iykyk 📚)

---

🦋 DATA TYPES 🦋

• wxGridCellChoiceEditor() :: wx:wx_object().

like. it's a wx object. that's the whole vibe. ⭐

---

👑 FUNCTIONS 👑

destroy

destroy(This :: wxGridCellChoiceEditor()) -> ok.

Destroys the object 💀 (not in a bad way — it's just, like, cleanup. she's done. she's leaving. bye bestie 🎀)

---

new

new(Choices, [Option]) -> wxGridCellChoiceEditor()
                when
                    Choices :: [unicode:chardata()],
                    Option :: {allowOthers, boolean()}.

Choice cell renderer ctor ✨ (ctor = constructor, for the uninitiated — it makes the thing 🌈)

The Option list can carry a tuple, and that tuple's key is allowOthers with a boolean() value 👀

---

setParameters

setParameters(This, Params) -> ok
                          when
                              This :: wxGridCellChoiceEditor(),
                              Params :: unicode:chardata().

Parameters string format is "item1[,item2[...,itemN]]" — so like, comma-separated items, brackets meaning the rest are optional-ish in the notation sense. Copy it exactly, don't freestyle it, fr fr 😭

And here's the key thing:

This method can be called before the editor is used for the first time, or later — in which case it replaces the previously specified strings with the new ones. 🔥

So you can set it up early, or swap the whole menu later. Either way, out with the old, in with the new. Periodt. 💅
