enum wxTextValidatorStyle

Styles used by wxTextValidator.

Notice that wxFILTER_EXCLUDE[_CHAR]_LIST pair can be used to document the purpose of the validator only and are not enforced in the implementation of the wxTextValidator. Therefore, calling the corresponding member functions: wxTextValidator::{SetExcludes,SetCharExcludes}(), is enough to create the desired validator.

Enumerator
wxFILTER_NONE | No filtering takes place.
wxFILTER_EMPTY | Empty strings are filtered out. If this style is not specified then empty strings are accepted only if they pass the other checks (if you use more than one wxTextValidatorStyle).
wxFILTER_ASCII | Non-ASCII characters are filtered out. See wxString::IsAscii.
wxFILTER_ALPHA | Non-alpha characters are filtered out. Uses the wxWidgets wrapper for the standard CRT function `isalpha` (which is locale-dependent) on all characters of the string.
wxFILTER_ALPHANUMERIC | Non-alphanumeric characters are filtered out. Uses the wxWidgets wrapper for the standard CRT function `isalnum` (which is locale-dependent) on all characters of the string. Equivalent to wxFILTER_ALPHA combined with wxFILTER_DIGITS or wxFILTER_XDIGITS, or with both of them.
wxFILTER_DIGITS | Non-digit characters are filtered out. Uses the wxWidgets wrapper for the standard CRT function `isdigit` (which is locale-dependent) on all characters of the string.
wxFILTER_NUMERIC | Non-numeric characters are filtered out. Works like `wxFILTER_DIGITS` but allows also decimal points, minus/plus signs and the 'e' or 'E' character to input exponents. Note that this is not the same behaviour of wxString::IsNumber().
wxFILTER_INCLUDE_LIST | Use an include list. The validator checks if the user input is on the list, complaining if not. See wxTextValidator::SetIncludes().

wxFILTER_INCLUDE_CHAR_LIST

Use an include char list.

Characters in the include char list will be allowed to be in the user input. See wxTextValidator::SetCharIncludes(). If this style is set with one or more of the following styles: wxFILTER_ASCII, wxFILTER_ALPHA, wxFILTER_ALPHANUMERIC, wxFILTER_DIGITS, wxFILTER_XDIGITS, wxFILTER_NUMERIC it just extends the character class denoted by the aforementioned styles with those specified in the include char list. If set alone, then the characters allowed to be in the user input are restricted to those, and only those, present in the include char list.

wxFILTER_EXCLUDE_LIST | Use an exclude list. The validator checks if the user input is on the list, complaining if it is. See wxTextValidator::SetExcludes().
wxFILTER_EXCLUDE_CHAR_LIST | Use an exclude char list. Characters in the exclude char list won't be allowed to be in the user input. See wxTextValidator::SetCharExcludes().
wxFILTER_XDIGITS | Non-hexadecimal characters are filtered out. Uses the wxWidgets wrapper for the standard CRT function `isxdigit` (which is locale-dependent) on all characters of the string.
wxFILTER_SPACE | A convenience flag for use with the other flags. The space character is more often used with alphanumeric characters which makes setting a flag more easier than calling SetCharIncludes(" ") for that matter.
