\subsection{Introduction}\label{windowidsoverviewintro}
|
||||
|
||||
Various contols and other parts of wxWidgets need an ID. Sometimes the
|
||||
ID may be directly provided by the use or have a predefined value, such as
|
||||
wxID_OPEN. Often, however, the value of the ID is unimportant and is created
|
||||
automatically by calling \helpref{wxWindow::NewControlId}{wxwindownewcontrolid}
|
||||
or by passing wxID_ANY as the ID of an object.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways to generate an ID. One way, is to start at a negative number,
|
||||
and for each new ID, return the next smallest number. This is fine for systems
|
||||
that can used the full range of negative numbers for an ID, as this provides
|
||||
more than enough IDs and it would take a very very long time to run out and
|
||||
wrap around. However, some systems can not use the full range of the ID value.
|
||||
Windows, for example, can only use 16 bit IDs, and only has about 32000 possible
|
||||
automatic IDs that can be generated by \helpref{wxWindow::NewControlId}{wxwindownewcontrolid}.
|
||||
If the program runs long enough, depending on the program itself, using this first
|
||||
method would cause the IDs to wrap around into the positive ID range and cause possible
|
||||
clashes with any directly specified ID values.
|
||||
|
||||
The other way is to keep track of the IDs returned by \helpref{wxWindow::NewControlId}{wxwindownewcontrolid}
|
||||
and don't return them again until the ID is completely free and not being used by
|
||||
any other objects. This will make sure that the ID values do not clash with one
|
||||
another. This is accomplished by keeping a reference count for each of the IDs
|
||||
that can possibly be returned by \helpref{wxWindow::NewControlId}{wxwindownewcontrolid}.
|
||||
Other IDs are not reference counted.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection{Data types}\label{windowidsoverviewtypes}
|
||||
|
||||
A wxWindowID is just the integer type for a window ID. It should be used almost
|
||||
everywhere. To help keep track of the count for the automatically generated IDs,
|
||||
a new type, wxWindowIDRef exists, that can take the place of wxWindowID where needed.
|
||||
When an ID is first created, it is marked as reserved. When assigning it to a
|
||||
wxWindowIDRef, the usage count of the ID is increased, or set to 1 if it is currently
|
||||
reserved. Assigning the same ID to several wxWindowIDRefs will keep track of the count.
|
||||
As the wxWindowIDRef gets destroyed or its value changes, it will decrease the count
|
||||
of the used ID. When there are no more wxWindowIDRef types with the created ID, the
|
||||
ID is considered free and can then be used again by \helpref{wxWindow::NewControlId}{wxwindownewcontrolid}.
|
||||
|
||||
If a created ID is not assigned to a wxWindowIDRef, then it remains reserved until it
|
||||
is unreserved manually with \helpref{wxWindow::UnreserveControlId}{wxwindowunreservecontrolid}.
|
||||
However, if it is assigned to a wxWindowIDRef, then it will be unreserved automatically
|
||||
and will be considered free when the count is 0, and should NOT be manually unreserved.
|
||||
|
||||
wxWindowIDRef can store both automatic IDs from \helpref{wxWindow::NewControlId}{wxwindownewcontrolid}
|
||||
as well as normal IDs. Reference counting is only done for the automatic IDs. Also,
|
||||
wxWindowIDRef has conversion operators that allow it to be treated just like a wxWindowID.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection{Using wxWindowIDRef}\label{windowidsoverviewusing}
|
||||
|
||||
A wxWindowIDRef should be used in place of a wxWindowID where you want to make sure the
|
||||
ID is not created again by \helpref{wxWindow::NewControlId}{wxwindownewcontrolid}
|
||||
at least until the wxWindowIDRef is destroyed, usually when the associated object is destroyed.
|
||||
This is done already for windows, menu items, and tool bar items.
|
||||
It should only be used in the main thread, as it is not thread safe.
