    and this is also the case for this class. Under other platforms, the
    meaning of a wxDataViewItem is changed to reflect a row number for
    wxDataViewIndexListModel. The consequence of this is that

/**
    @class wxDataViewModel
    @wxheader{dataview.h}

    wxDataViewModel is the base class for all data model to be
    displayed by a wxDataViewCtrl.
    All other models derive from it and must implement its
    pure virtual functions in order to define a complete
    data model. In detail, you need to override
    wxDataViewModel::IsContainer,
    wxDataViewModel::GetParent,
    wxDataViewModel::GetChildren,
    wxDataViewModel::GetColumnCount,
    wxDataViewModel::GetColumnType and
    wxDataViewModel::GetValue in order to
    define the data model which acts as an interface between
    your actual data and the wxDataViewCtrl. Since you will
    usually also allow the wxDataViewCtrl to change your data
    through its graphical interface, you will also have to override
    wxDataViewModel::SetValue which the
    wxDataViewCtrl will call when a change to some data has been
    commited.

    wxDataViewModel (as indeed the entire wxDataViewCtrl
    code) is using wxVariant to store data and
    its type in a generic way. wxVariant can be extended to contain
    almost any data without changes to the original class.

    The data that is presented through this data model is expected
    to change at run-time. You need to inform the data model when
    a change happened. Depending on what happened you need to call
    one of the following methods:
    wxDataViewModel::ValueChanged,
    wxDataViewModel::ItemAdded,
    wxDataViewModel::ItemDeleted,
    wxDataViewModel::ItemChanged,
    wxDataViewModel::Cleared. There are
    plural forms for notification of addition, change
    or removal of several item at once. See
    wxDataViewModel::ItemsAdded,
    wxDataViewModel::ItemsDeleted,
    wxDataViewModel::ItemsChanged.

    Note that wxDataViewModel does not define the position or
    index of any item in the control because different controls
    might display the same data differently. wxDataViewModel does
    provide a wxDataViewModel::Compare method
    which the wxDataViewCtrl may use to sort the data either
    in conjunction with a column header or without (see
    wxDataViewModel::HasDefaultCompare).

    This class maintains a list of
    wxDataViewModelNotifier
    which link this class to the specific implementations on the
    supported platforms so that e.g. calling
    wxDataViewModel::ValueChanged
    on this model will just call
    wxDataViewModelNotifier::ValueChanged
    for each notifier that has been added. You can also add
    your own notifier in order to get informed about any changes
    to the data in the list model.

    Currently wxWidgets provides the following models apart
    from the base model:
    wxDataViewIndexListModel,
    wxDataViewTreeStore.

    Note that wxDataViewModel is reference counted, derives from
    wxObjectRefData and cannot be deleted
    directly as it can be shared by several wxDataViewCtrls. This
    implies that you need to decrease the reference count after
    associating the model with a control like this:

    @code
    wxDataViewCtrl *musicCtrl = new wxDataViewCtrl( this, ID_MUSIC_CTRL );
        wxDataViewModel *musicModel = new MyMusicModel;
        m_musicCtrl-AssociateModel( musicModel );
        musicModel-DecRef();  // avoid memory leak !!
        // add columns now
    @endcode


    @library{wxadv}
    @category{FIXME}

{
public:
    /**

    wxDataViewItem is a small opaque class that represents an
    item in a wxDataViewCtrl in a
    persistent way, i.e. indepent of the position of the
    item in the control or changes to its contents. It must
    hold a unique ID of type @e void* in its only field
    and can be converted to a from it.

    If the ID is @e @NULL the wxDataViewItem is invalid and
    wxDataViewItem::IsOk will return @e @false
    which used in many places in the API of wxDataViewCtrl
    to indicate that e.g. no item was found. An ID of @NULL
    is also used to indicate the invisible root. Examples
    for this are
    wxDataViewModel::GetParent and
    wxDataViewModel::GetChildren.

/**
    @class wxDataViewCtrl
    @wxheader{dataview.h}

    wxDataViewCtrl is a control to display data either
    in a tree like fashion or in a tabular form or both.
    If you only need to display a simple tree structure
    with an API more like the older wxTreeCtrl class,
    then the specialized wxDataViewTreeCtrl
    can be used.

    A wxDataViewItem is used
    to represent a (visible) item in the control.

    Unlike wxListCtrl wxDataViewCtrl doesn't
    get its data from the user through virtual functions or by
    setting it directly. Instead you need to write your own
    wxDataViewModel and associate
    it with this control. Then you need to add a number of
    wxDataViewColumn to this control to
    define what each column shall display. Each wxDataViewColumn
    in turn owns 1 instance of a
    wxDataViewRenderer to render its
    cells. A number of standard renderers for rendering text, dates,
    images, toggle, a progress bar etc. are provided. Additionally,
    the user can write custom renderes deriving from
    wxDataViewCustomRenderer
    for displaying anything.

    All data transfer from the control to the model and the user
    code is done through wxVariant which can
    be extended to support more data formats as necessary.
    Accordingly, all type information uses the strings returned
    from wxVariant::GetType.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxDV_SINGLE}:
           Single selection mode. This is the default.
    @style{wxDV_MULTIPLE}:
           Multiple selection mode.
    @style{wxDV_ROW_LINES}:
           Use alternating colours for rows if supported by platform and theme.
    @style{wxDV_HORIZ_RULES}:
           Display fine rules between row if supported.
    @style{wxDV_VERT_RULES}:
           Display fine rules between columns is supported.

    @class wxDataViewRenderer
    @wxheader{dataview.h}

    This class is used by wxDataViewCtrl to
    render the individual cells. One instance of a renderer class is
    owned by wxDataViewColumn. There is
    a number of ready-to-use renderers provided:
    wxDataViewTextRenderer,
    wxDataViewTextRendererAttr,
    wxDataViewIconTextRenderer,
    wxDataViewToggleRenderer,
    wxDataViewProgressRenderer,
    wxDataViewBitmapRenderer,
    wxDataViewDateRenderer.
    wxDataViewSpinRenderer.

    Additionally, the user can write own renderers by deriving from
    wxDataViewCustomRenderer.

    The @e wxDataViewCellMode flag controls, what actions
    the cell data allows. @e wxDATAVIEW_CELL_ACTIVATABLE
    indicates that the user can double click the cell and
    something will happen (e.g. a window for editing a date
    will pop up). @e wxDATAVIEW_CELL_EDITABLE indicates
    that the user can edit the data in-place, i.e. an control
    will show up after a slow click on the cell. This behaviour
    is best known from changing the filename in most file
    managers etc.


    @code
    enum wxDataViewCellMode
    {
        wxDATAVIEW_CELL_INERT,
        wxDATAVIEW_CELL_ACTIVATABLE,
        wxDATAVIEW_CELL_EDITABLE
    };
    @endcode

    The @e wxDataViewCellRenderState flag controls how the
    the renderer should display its contents in a cell:

    @code
