The function choice-selected-item returns the currently selected item in a single selection choice.
The function choice-selected-item returns the currently selected item in a single selection choice. A setf method is provided as a means of setting the selection. Note that the items are compared by
choice
's
test-function
- see collection or the example below.
It is an error to call this function on choices with different interactions — in that case, you should use choice-selected-items.
This example illustrates setting the selection. First we set up a single selection choice — in this case, a list-panel.
(setq list (capi:contain
(make-instance 'capi:list-panel
:items '(a b c d e)
:selection 2)))
The following code line returns the selection of the list panel.
(capi:choice-selected-item list)
The selection can be changed, and the change viewed, using the following code.
(capi:apply-in-pane-process
list #'(setf capi:choice-selected-item) 'e list)
(capi:choice-selected-item list)
This example illustrates the effect of the
test-function
. Make a choice with
test-function
cl:eq:
(setf *list*
(capi:contain
(make-instance 'capi:list-panel
:items (list "a" "b" "c")
:selection 0
:visible-min-height :text-height)))
This call loses the selection since (eq "b" "b") fails:
(capi:apply-in-pane-process
*list* #'(setf capi:choice-selected-item)
"b" *list*)
(capi:apply-in-pane-process
*list* #'(setf capi:collection-test-function)
'equal *list*)
This call sets the selection since (equal "b" "b") succeeds:
(capi:apply-in-pane-process
*list* #'(setf capi:choice-selected-item)
"b" *list*)
