:class:`~wx.lib.agw.knobctrl.KnobCtrl` lets the user select a numerical value by rotating it.


Description
===========

:class:`KnobCtrl` lets the user select a numerical value by rotating it. It works like a
scrollbar: just set the ticks range property and read the value property in the
associated ``EVT_KC_ANGLE_CHANGING``/``EVT_KC_ANGLE_CHANGED`` events. Simple but
effective.

It can be easily used if you want to simulate the volume knob of a music player
or similar functionalities.


Usage
=====

Usage example::

    import wx
    import wx.lib.agw.knobctrl as KC

    class MyFrame(wx.Frame):

        def __init__(self, parent):

            wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, "KnobCtrl Demo")

            panel = wx.Panel(self)

            knob1 = KC.KnobCtrl(panel, -1, size=(100, 100))
            knob2 = KC.KnobCtrl(panel, -1, size=(100, 100))

            knob1.SetTags(range(0, 151, 10))
            knob1.SetAngularRange(-45, 225)
            knob1.SetValue(45)

            knob2.SetTags(range(0, 151, 10))
            knob2.SetAngularRange(0, 270)
            knob2.SetValue(100)

            main_sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
            main_sizer.Add(knob1, 0, wx.EXPAND | wx.ALL, 20)
            main_sizer.Add(knob2, 0, wx.EXPAND | wx.ALL, 20)

            panel.SetSizer(main_sizer)
            main_sizer.Layout()


    # our normal wxApp-derived class, as usual

    app = wx.App(0)

    frame = MyFrame(None)
    app.SetTopWindow(frame)
    frame.Show()

    app.MainLoop()



Events
======

:class:`KnobCtrl` implements two events that can be intercepted by the user:

- ``EVT_KC_ANGLE_CHANGING``;
- ``EVT_KC_ANGLE_CHANGED``.

The first one can be "vetoed" by eliminating the `event.Skip()` at the end of the
event handler.
