A search control is a composite control with a search button, a text 
control, and a cancel button.

\twocolwidtha{5cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTE\_PROCESS\_ENTER}}{The control will generate
the event wxEVT\_COMMAND\_TEXT\_ENTER (otherwise pressing Enter key
is either processed internally by the control or used for navigation between
dialog controls).}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTE\_PROCESS\_TAB}}{The control will receive
wxEVT\_CHAR events for TAB pressed - normally, TAB is used for passing to the
next control in a dialog instead. For the control created with this style,
you can still use Ctrl-Enter to pass to the next control from the keyboard.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTE\_NOHIDESEL}}{By default, the Windows text control
doesn't show the selection when it doesn't have focus - use this style to force
it to always show it. It doesn't do anything under other platforms.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTE\_LEFT}}{The text in the control will be left-justified (default).}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTE\_CENTRE}}{The text in the control will be centered (currently wxMSW and wxGTK2 only).}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTE\_RIGHT}}{The text in the control will be right-justified (currently wxMSW and wxGTK2 only).}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTE\_CAPITALIZE}}{On PocketPC and Smartphone, causes the first letter to be capitalized.}
\end{twocollist}

\wxheading{Event handling}

To process input from a search control, use these event handler macros to direct input to member
functions that take a \helpref{wxCommandEvent}{wxcommandevent} argument. To retrieve actual search
queries, use EVT\_TEXT and EVT\_TEXT\_ENTER events, just as you would with \helpref{wxTextCtrl}{wxtextctrl}.

\twocolwidtha{9cm}%
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_SEARCHCTRL\_SEARCH\_BTN(id, func)}}{Respond to a wxEVT\_SEARCHCTRL\_SEARCH\_BTN event,
generated when the search button is clicked. Note that this does not initiate a search.}
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_SEARCHCTRL\_CANCEL\_BTN(id, func)}}{Respond to a wxEVT\_SEARCHCTRL\_CANCEL\_BTN event,
generated when the cancel button is clicked.}
\end{twocollist}%
