|api| Class API
===============


.. class:: IntValidator(wx.Validator)

   Validator class used with :class:`~lib.intctrl.IntCtrl` handles all validation of
   input prior to changing the value of the underlying :class:`TextCtrl`.

   .. method:: __init__(self)

      Standard constructor


   .. method:: Clone (self)

      Standard cloner
      
      ..note::
        Every validator must implement the Clone() method.


   .. method:: OnChar(self, event)

      Validates keystrokes to make sure the resulting value will a legal
      value.  Erasing the value causes it to be set to 0, with the value
      selected, so it can be replaced.  Similarly, replacing the value
      with a '-' sign causes the value to become -1, with the value
      selected.  Leading zeros are removed if introduced by selection,
      and are prevented from being inserted.


   .. method:: TransferFromWindow(self)

      Transfer data from window to validator.
      
      The default implementation returns False, indicating that an error
      occurred.  We simply return True, to indicate to e.g. :class:`Dialog`
      that all is well.
      
      If data comes e.g. from a database then you need to override this.


   .. method:: TransferToWindow(self)

      Transfer data from validator to window.
      
      The default implementation returns False, indicating that an error
      occurred.  We simply return True, to indicate to e.g. :class:`Dialog`
      that all is well.
      
      If data comes e.g. from a database then you need to override this.


   .. method:: Validate(self, window)

      Because each operation on the control is vetted as it's made,
      the value of the control is always valid.
