## Detailed Description

The wxSizerItem class is used to track the position, size and other attributes of each item managed by a wxSizer.

It is not usually necessary to use this class because the sizer elements can also be identified by their positions or window or sizer pointers but sometimes it may be more convenient to use it directly.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ AssignSizer()

void wxSizerItem::AssignSizer | ( | wxSizer * | sizer | ) |

Set the sizer tracked by this item.

Old sizer, if any, is deleted.

## ◆ AssignSpacer() [1/2]

void wxSizerItem::AssignSpacer | ( | const wxSize & | size | ) |

Set the size of the spacer tracked by this item.

Old spacer, if any, is deleted.

## ◆ AssignSpacer() [2/2]

void wxSizerItem::AssignSpacer | ( | int | w,
|  | int | h
| ) |  |

Set the size of the spacer tracked by this item.

Old spacer, if any, is deleted.

## ◆ AssignWindow()

void wxSizerItem::AssignWindow | ( | wxWindow * | window | ) |

Set the window to be tracked by this item.

Note
  This is a low-level method which is dangerous if used incorrectly, avoid using it if possible, i.e. if higher level methods such as wxSizer::Replace() can be used instead.

If the sizer item previously contained a window, it is dissociated from the sizer containing this sizer item (if any), but this object doesn't have the pointer to the containing sizer and so it's the caller's responsibility to call wxWindow::SetContainingSizer() on window. Failure to do this can result in memory corruption when the window is destroyed later, so it is crucial to not forget to do it.

Also note that the previously contained window is not deleted, so it's also the callers responsibility to do it, if necessary.

## ◆ CalcMin()

virtual wxSize wxSizerItem::CalcMin | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Calculates the minimum desired size for the item, including any space needed by borders.

## ◆ DeleteWindows()

virtual void wxSizerItem::DeleteWindows | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Destroy the window or the windows in a subsizer, depending on the type of item.

Return the flags attribute.

See wxSizer flags list for details.

Return the numeric id of wxSizerItem, or `wxID_NONE` if the id has not been set.

## ◆ GetMinSize()

wxSize wxSizerItem::GetMinSize | ( |  | ) | const

Get the minimum size needed for the item.

## ◆ GetPosition()

What is the current position of the item, as set in the last Layout.

## ◆ GetProportion()

int wxSizerItem::GetProportion | ( |  | ) | const

Get the proportion item attribute.

## ◆ GetRatio()

## ◆ GetSize()

virtual wxSize wxSizerItem::GetSize | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual

Get the current size of the item, as set in the last Layout.

## ◆ GetSizer()

wxSizer* wxSizerItem::GetSizer | ( |  | ) | const

If this item is tracking a sizer, return it.

NULL otherwise.

## ◆ GetSpacer()

wxSize wxSizerItem::GetSpacer | ( |  | ) | const

If this item is tracking a spacer, return its size.

## ◆ GetUserData()

wxObject* wxSizerItem::GetUserData | ( |  | ) | const

Get the userData item attribute.

## ◆ GetWindow()

wxWindow* wxSizerItem::GetWindow | ( |  | ) | const

If this item is tracking a window then return it.

NULL otherwise.

## ◆ IsShown()

bool wxSizerItem::IsShown | ( |  | ) | const

Returns true if this item is a window or a spacer and it is shown or if this item is a sizer and not all of its elements are hidden.

In other words, for sizer items, all of the child elements must be hidden for the sizer itself to be considered hidden.

As an exception, if the `wxRESERVE_SPACE_EVEN_IF_HIDDEN` flag was used for this sizer item, then IsShown() always returns true for it (see wxSizerFlags::ReserveSpaceEvenIfHidden()).

## ◆ IsSizer()

bool wxSizerItem::IsSizer | ( |  | ) | const

Is this item a sizer?

## ◆ IsSpacer()

bool wxSizerItem::IsSpacer | ( |  | ) | const

Is this item a spacer?

## ◆ IsWindow()

bool wxSizerItem::IsWindow | ( |  | ) | const

Is this item a window?

## ◆ SetBorder()

void wxSizerItem::SetBorder | ( | int | border | ) |

Set the border item attribute.

## ◆ SetDimension()

virtual void wxSizerItem::SetDimension | ( | const wxPoint & | pos,
|  | const wxSize & | size
| ) |  |
| virtual

Set the position and size of the space allocated to the sizer, and adjust the position and size of the item to be within that space taking alignment and borders into account.

void wxSizerItem::SetFlag | ( | int | flag | ) |

Set the flag item attribute.

## ◆ SetId()

void wxSizerItem::SetId | ( | int | id | ) |

## ◆ SetInitSize()

void wxSizerItem::SetInitSize | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y
| ) |  |

Sets the minimum size to be allocated for this item.

This is identical to SetMinSize(), prefer to use the other function, as its name is more clear.

## ◆ SetMinSize() [1/2]

void wxSizerItem::SetMinSize | ( | const wxSize & | size | ) |

Sets the minimum size to be allocated for this item.

If this item is a window, the size is also passed to wxWindow::SetMinSize().

## ◆ SetMinSize() [2/2]

void wxSizerItem::SetMinSize | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y
| ) |  |

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

## ◆ SetProportion()

void wxSizerItem::SetProportion | ( | int | proportion | ) |

Set the proportion item attribute.

## ◆ SetRatio() [1/3]

void wxSizerItem::SetRatio | ( | float | ratio | ) |

Set the ratio item attribute.

Set the ratio item attribute.

## ◆ SetSizer()

void wxSizerItem::SetSizer | ( | wxSizer * | sizer | ) |

Set the sizer tracked by this item.

Deprecated:
  This function does not free the old sizer which may result in memory leaks, use AssignSizer() which does free it instead.

## ◆ SetSpacer()

void wxSizerItem::SetSpacer | ( | const wxSize & | size | ) |

Set the size of the spacer tracked by this item.

Deprecated:
  This function does not free the old spacer which may result in memory leaks, use AssignSpacer() which does free it instead.

## ◆ SetUserData()

void wxSizerItem::SetUserData | ( | wxObject * | userData | ) |

## ◆ SetWindow()

void wxSizerItem::SetWindow | ( | wxWindow * | window | ) |

Set the window to be tracked by this item.

Deprecated:

Todo:
  provide deprecation description

## ◆ Show()
