## Detailed Description

wxDelegateRendererNative allows reuse of renderers code by forwarding all the wxRendererNative methods to the given object and thus allowing you to only modify some of its methods -- without having to reimplement all of them.

Note that the "normal", inheritance-based approach, doesn't work with the renderers as it is impossible to derive from a class unknown at compile-time and the renderer is only chosen at run-time. So suppose that you want to only add something to the drawing of the tree control buttons but leave all the other methods unchanged -- the only way to do it, considering that the renderer class which you want to customize might not even be written yet when you write your code (it could be written later and loaded from a DLL during run-time), is by using this class.

Except for the constructor, it has exactly the same methods as wxRendererNative and their implementation is trivial: they are simply forwarded to the real renderer. Note that the "real" renderer may, in turn, be a wxDelegateRendererNative as well and that there may be arbitrarily many levels like this -- but at the end of the chain there must be a real renderer which does the drawing.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxDelegateRendererNative::wxDelegateRendererNative | ( |  | ) |

The default constructor does the same thing as the other one except that it uses the generic renderer instead of the user-specified rendererNative.

In any case, this sets up the delegate renderer object to follow all calls to the specified real renderer.

wxDelegateRendererNative::wxDelegateRendererNative | ( | wxRendererNative & | rendererNative | ) |

This constructor uses the user-specified rendererNative to set up the delegate renderer object to follow all calls to the specified real renderer.

Note:
  This object does not take ownership of (i.e. won't delete) rendererNative.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual void wxDelegateRendererNative::DrawCheckBox | ( | wxWindow * | win,
|  | wxDC & | dc,
|  | const wxRect & | rect,
|  | int | flags = `0` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Draw a check box.

flags may have the `wxCONTROL_CHECKED`, `wxCONTROL_CURRENT` or `wxCONTROL_UNDETERMINED` bit set, see wxCONTROL_FLAGS.

Implements wxRendererNative.

virtual void wxDelegateRendererNative::DrawComboBoxDropButton | ( | wxWindow * | win,
|  | wxDC & | dc,
|  | const wxRect & | rect,
|  | int | flags = `0` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Draw a button like the one used by wxComboBox to show a drop down window.

The usual appearance is a downwards pointing arrow.

flags may have the `wxCONTROL_PRESSED` or `wxCONTROL_CURRENT` bit set, see wxCONTROL_FLAGS.

Implements wxRendererNative.

virtual void wxDelegateRendererNative::DrawDropArrow | ( | wxWindow * | win,
|  | wxDC & | dc,
|  | const wxRect & | rect,
|  | int | flags = `0` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Draw a drop down arrow that is suitable for use outside a combo box.

Arrow will have transparent background.

rect is not entirely filled by the arrow. Instead, you should use bounding rectangle of a drop down button which arrow matches the size you need.

flags may have the `wxCONTROL_PRESSED` or `wxCONTROL_CURRENT` bit set, see wxCONTROL_FLAGS.

Implements wxRendererNative.

virtual void wxDelegateRendererNative::DrawFocusRect | ( | wxWindow * | win,
|  | wxDC & | dc,
|  | const wxRect & | rect,
|  | int | flags = `0` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Draw a focus rectangle using the specified rectangle.

wxListCtrl.

The only supported flags is `wxCONTROL_SELECTED` for items which are selected. see wxCONTROL_FLAGS.

Implements wxRendererNative.

virtual int wxDelegateRendererNative::DrawHeaderButton | ( | wxWindow * | win,
|  | wxDC & | dc,
|  | const wxRect & | rect,
|  | int | flags = `0`,
|  | wxHeaderSortIconType | sortArrow = `wxHDR_SORT_ICON_NONE`,
|  | wxHeaderButtonParams * | params = `NULL` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Draw the header control button (used, for example, by wxListCtrl).

Depending on platforms the flags parameter may support the `wxCONTROL_SELECTED` `wxCONTROL_DISABLED` and `wxCONTROL_CURRENT` bits, see wxCONTROL_FLAGS.

Returns:
  The optimal width to contain the unabbreviated label text or bitmap, the sort arrow if present, and internal margins.

Implements wxRendererNative.

virtual int wxDelegateRendererNative::DrawHeaderButtonContents | ( | wxWindow * | win,
|  | wxDC & | dc,
|  | const wxRect & | rect,
|  | int | flags = `0`,
|  | wxHeaderSortIconType | sortArrow = `wxHDR_SORT_ICON_NONE`,
|  | wxHeaderButtonParams * | params = `NULL` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Draw the contents of a header control button (label, sort arrows, etc.

). This function is normally only called by DrawHeaderButton().

Depending on platforms the flags parameter may support the `wxCONTROL_SELECTED` `wxCONTROL_DISABLED` and `wxCONTROL_CURRENT` bits, see wxCONTROL_FLAGS.

Returns:
  The optimal width to contain the unabbreviated label text or bitmap, the sort arrow if present, and internal margins.

Implements wxRendererNative.

virtual void wxDelegateRendererNative::DrawItemSelectionRect | ( | wxWindow * | win,
|  | wxDC & | dc,
|  | const wxRect & | rect,
|  | int | flags = `0` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Draw a selection rectangle underneath the text as used e.g.

in a wxListCtrl.

The supported flags are `wxCONTROL_SELECTED` for items which are selected (e.g. often a blue rectangle) and `wxCONTROL_CURRENT` for the item that has the focus (often a dotted line around the item's text). `wxCONTROL_FOCUSED` may be used to indicate if the control has the focus (otherwise the selection rectangle is e.g. often grey and not blue). This may be ignored by the renderer or deduced by the code directly from the win.

Implements wxRendererNative.

virtual void wxDelegateRendererNative::DrawPushButton | ( | wxWindow * | win,
|  | wxDC & | dc,
|  | const wxRect & | rect,
|  | int | flags = `0` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Draw a blank push button that looks very similar to wxButton.

flags may have the `wxCONTROL_PRESSED`, `wxCONTROL_CURRENT` or `wxCONTROL_ISDEFAULT` bit set, see wxCONTROL_FLAGS.

Implements wxRendererNative.

virtual void wxDelegateRendererNative::DrawSplitterBorder | ( | wxWindow * | win,
|  | wxDC & | dc,
|  | const wxRect & | rect,
|  | int | flags = `0` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Draw the border for sash window: this border must be such that the sash drawn by DrawSplitterSash() blends into it well.

Implements wxRendererNative.

virtual void wxDelegateRendererNative::DrawSplitterSash | ( | wxWindow * | win,
|  | wxDC & | dc,
|  | const wxSize & | size,
|  | wxCoord | position,
|  | wxOrientation | orient,
|  | int | flags = `0` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Draw a sash.

The orient parameter defines whether the sash should be vertical or horizontal and how the position should be interpreted.

Implements wxRendererNative.

virtual void wxDelegateRendererNative::DrawTreeItemButton | ( | wxWindow * | win,
|  | wxDC & | dc,
|  | const wxRect & | rect,
|  | int | flags = `0` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Draw the expanded/collapsed icon for a tree control item.

To draw an expanded button the flags parameter must contain `wxCONTROL_EXPANDED` bit, see wxCONTROL_FLAGS.

Implements wxRendererNative.

virtual wxSize wxDelegateRendererNative::GetCheckBoxSize | ( | wxWindow * | win | ) | `[virtual]`

Returns the size of a check box.

The win parameter is not used currently and can be NULL.

Implements wxRendererNative.

virtual int wxDelegateRendererNative::GetHeaderButtonHeight | ( | wxWindow * | win | ) | `[virtual]`

Returns the height of a header button, either a fixed platform height if available, or a generic height based on the win window's font.

Implements wxRendererNative.

virtual int wxDelegateRendererNative::GetHeaderButtonMargin | ( | wxWindow * | win | ) | `[virtual]`

Returns the horizontal margin on the left and right sides of header button's label.

Since:
  2.9.2

Implements wxRendererNative.

virtual wxSplitterRenderParams wxDelegateRendererNative::GetSplitterParams | ( | const wxWindow * | win | ) | `[virtual]`

Get the splitter parameters, see wxSplitterRenderParams.

The win parameter should be a wxSplitterWindow.

Implements wxRendererNative.

virtual wxRendererVersion wxDelegateRendererNative::GetVersion | ( |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

This function is used for version checking: Load() refuses to load any shared libraries implementing an older or incompatible version.

Remarks:
  The implementation of this method is always the same in all renderers (simply construct wxRendererVersion using the `wxRendererVersion::Current_XXX` values), but it has to be in the derived, not base, class, to detect mismatches between the renderers versions and so you have to implement it anew in all renderers.

Implements wxRendererNative.
