zhelper-wxWidgets

a helper header help you easy to program gui app on wxWidgets 3.x

you can easily write menus like this

Frame* frame = new Frame;
Delegate* delegate = new Delegate(frame);
menu::begin(new MenuBar)
    ("File", 
         menu::begin(new Menu)
            (ID_OPEN, "open")
                [onclick = [=] (event& e) {
                    delegate->handle(e);
                }]
            (ID_NEW,  "new")  
                [onclick, [=] (event& e) {
                    delegate->handle(e);
                }]
            (menu::end))
     ("About",
          menu::begin(new Menu)
            (ID_HELP,   "help")
                [onclick, [=] (event&)  {   }]
            (menu::end))
     (menu::end,   
        [=] (MenuBar* mb) {
            frame->SetMenuBar(mb);
        });

you can easily write windows like this as well:

Frame* frame = new Frame;
layout::begin(new layout)
    (layout::begin(new layout)
        [layout_flags]
        (new textctrl)
            [layout_flags]
            [ ondropfiles = [] (event&) {} ]
            [ onchar = [] (event&) {} ]
        (new button) 
            [layout_flags]
            [ onclick = [] (event&) {} ]
        (layout::end))
    (layout::begin(new layout)
        [layout_flags]
        (new textctrl)
            [layout_flags]
        (new button) 
            [layout_flags]
            [ onclick = [] (event&) {} ]
        (layout::end))
    (layout::begin(new layout)
        (new button) 
            [ onclick = [] (event&) {} ]
        (layout::end))
    (layout::begin(new layout)
        (new button) 
            [ onclick = [] (event&) {} ]
        (layout::end))
    (layout::end, 
     layout::oncomplete = [=] (layout& layout) {
         frame->SetLayout(layout);
     });

just easy like writing a html

<div id='0'>
    <div id='1'>
        <input type="button" onclick="handler()">
    </div>
    <div id='2'>
        <input type="button" onclick="handler()">
    </div>
    <div id='3'>
        <input type="button" onclick="handler()">
    </div>
    <div id='4'>
        <input type="button" onclick="handler()">
    </div>
</div>

how to use?

just include the header and use c++11.

how to write layouts?

• 1. begin with calling layout::begin(somelayout)
• 2. add elements(layout or widget) to layout, by calling operator () (widget)
• 3. configure your latest added elements, by calling operator [] (prop)
• 4. end with calling operator () (layout::end)

just like

layout::begin(somelayout)   // begin to write a layout
    [prop]              // configure layout properties of somelayout
    (new element)           // add a element to somelayout
        [prop]              // configure layout properties of new element
        [onclick = ...]     // configure onclick function associated with new element
        [onchar = ...]      // configure onchar function associated with new element
    (layout::end)           // end up writing a layout

new features for programming with wxListCtrl

• you do not need to fill things into item then insert and lots of code,

• you do not need to know about the interfaces of wxListCtrl.

• you just need to write () and [ ].

1. easy way to write wxListCtrl headers (columns)

wxListCtrl* p = new wxListCtrl;
using namespace zhelper::wxWidgets::listctrlhlp;
column::begin(p)
  ("col 1") [ font ] [ color ]
  ("col 2") [ font ] [ color ]
  (column::end)

2. easy way to append rows into wxListCtrl

row::begin(p)
  ("row 1_col 1") [ font ] [ color ]
  ("row 1_col 2") [ font ] [ color ]
  (row::another)
  ("row 2_col 1") [ font ] [ color ]
  ("row 2_col 2") [ font ] [ color ]
  (row::end)

3. easy way to modify cell of wxListCtrl

cell::begin(p)
  (1, 1)    // row 2 , col 2
    [ "change value" ] [ change_font ] [ change_color ]
  (0, 1)    // row 1 , col 2
    [ "change value" ] [ change_font ] [ change_color ]
   (cell:end)
