# wxStaticLine(3erl)

Functions for wxStaticLine class

## NAME

wxStaticLine - Functions for wxStaticLine class

## DESCRIPTION

A static line is just a line which may be used in a dialog to separate the groups of controls.

The line may be only vertical or horizontal. Moreover, not all ports (notably not wxGTK) support specifying the transversal direction of the line (e.g. height for a horizontal line) so for maximal portability you should specify it as wxDefaultCoord.

Styles

This class supports the following styles:

See: *wxStaticBox*

This class is derived (and can use functions) from: *wxControl* *wxWindow* *wxEvtHandler*

wxWidgets docs: wxStaticLine

## DATA TYPES

```
wxStaticLine() = wx:wx_object()
```

## EXPORTS

```
new() -> wxStaticLine()
```

Default constructor.

```
new(Parent) -> wxStaticLine()
```

Types:

Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()\

```
new(Parent, Options :: [Option]) -> wxStaticLine()
```

Types:

Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()\
 Option = \
\
     {id, integer()} \|\
\
     {pos, {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}} \|\
\
     {size, {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}} \|\
\
     {style, integer()}\

Constructor, creating and showing a static line.

See: *create/3*

```
create(This, Parent) -> boolean()
```

Types:

This = wxStaticLine()\
 Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()\

```
create(This, Parent, Options :: [Option]) -> boolean()
```

Types:

This = wxStaticLine()\
 Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()\
 Option = \
\
     {id, integer()} \|\
\
     {pos, {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}} \|\
\
     {size, {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}} \|\
\
     {style, integer()}\

Creates the static line for two-step construction.

See *new/2* for further details.

```
isVertical(This) -> boolean()
```

Types:

This = wxStaticLine()\

Returns true if the line is vertical, false if horizontal.

```
getDefaultSize() -> integer()
```

This static function returns the size which will be given to the smaller dimension of the static line, i.e.

its height for a horizontal line or its width for a vertical one.

```
destroy(This :: wxStaticLine()) -> ok
```

Destroys the object.
