Re: How to embed a Checkbox into the FXTable?

Hello Jeroen,

Based on your suggestion, I create the following code for drawing sth on the cell.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
class FXAPI FXCheckboxTableItem : public FXTableItem {
    FXDECLARE(FXCheckboxTableItem)

private:
    FXCheckboxTableItem(const FXCheckboxTableItem&);
    FXCheckboxTableItem& operator=(const FXCheckboxTableItem&);
protected:
    FXCheckboxTableItem(){}
    virtual void drawContent(const FXTable* table,FXDC& dc,FXint x,FXint y,FXint w,FXint h) const;

public:
    /// Construct new table item
    FXCheckboxTableItem(const FXString& label, bool isChecked, FXIcon* ic=NULL,void* ptr=NULL);
   
    /// Create input control for editing this item
    virtual FXWindow *getControlFor(FXTable* table);
   
    /// Set value from input control
    virtual void setFromControl(FXWindow *control);
   
    void setChecked(bool isChecked)
    {
        m_isChecked = isChecked;
    }
   
    bool isChecked() const
    {
        return m_isChecked;
    }

protected:   
    FXString     m_label;
    bool         m_isChecked;
    FXIcon*      m_icon;
};
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include "FXCheckboxTableItem.h"

// Object implementation
FXIMPLEMENT(FXCheckboxTableItem,FXTableItem,NULL,0)

FXCheckboxTableItem::FXCheckboxTableItem(const FXString& label, bool isChecked, FXIcon* ic/*=NULL*/,void* ptr/*=NULL*/ )
: m_label(label), m_isChecked(isChecked), m_icon(ic)
{
}

// Create input control for editing this item
FXWindow * FXCheckboxTableItem::getControlFor( FXTable* table )
{
    register FXCheckButton *checkbox;
    register FXuint justify=0;

    checkbox=new FXCheckButton(table,m_label,this,NULL, ICON_BEFORE_TEXT|LAYOUT_SIDE_TOP);
    if(state&LEFT) justify|=JUSTIFY_LEFT;
    if(state&RIGHT) justify|=JUSTIFY_RIGHT;
    if(state&TOP) justify|=JUSTIFY_TOP;
    if(state&BOTTOM) justify|=JUSTIFY_BOTTOM;
    checkbox->create();
    checkbox->setJustify(justify);
    checkbox->setFont(table->getFont());
    checkbox->setBackColor(table->getBackColor());
    checkbox->setTextColor(table->getTextColor());

    return checkbox;   
}

void FXCheckboxTableItem::setFromControl( FXWindow *control )
{
    register FXCheckButton *check=static_cast<FXCheckButton*>(control);
    m_isChecked = check->getCheck();
}

void FXCheckboxTableItem::drawContent(const FXTable* table,FXDC& dc,FXint x,FXint y,FXint w,FXint h) const
{
    FXRectangle rect(0, 0, 17, 17);

    dc.setForeground(FXRGB(0, 255, 0));
    dc.setBackground(FXRGB(255, 0, 0));
    dc.fillRectangle(rect.x, rect.y, rect.w, rect.h);  
}
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Here is the problem,
The function FXCheckboxTableItem::drawContent is called by FXTableItem::draw.

However, I didn't see the expected drawn rectangle shown up.

Please see the attached images for detail.
1>
edit.PNG, in edit mode, the checkbox is shown correctly.
2>
However, in draw.png, the expected drawn rectangle doesn't show up.

Do you know which part of the drawContent is wrong?

Many thanks.
