\section{\class{wxListCtrl}}\label{wxlistctrl}

A list control presents lists in a number of formats: list view, report view, icon view
and small icon view. Elements are numbered from zero.

To intercept events from a list control, use the event table macros described in \helpref{wxListEvent}{wxlistevent}.

\wxheading{Window styles}

\twocolwidtha{5cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxLC\_LIST}}{multicolumn list view, with optional small icons.
Columns are computed automatically, i.e. you don't set columns as in wxLC\_REPORT. In other words,
the list wraps, unlike a wxListBox.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxLC\_REPORT}}{single or multicolumn report view, with optional header.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxLC\_ICON}}{Large icon view, with optional labels.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxLC\_SMALL\_ICON}}{Small icon view, with optional labels.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxLC\_ALIGN\_TOP}}{Icons align to the top (default).}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxLC\_ALIGN\_LEFT}}{Icons align to the left.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxLC\_AUTOARRANGE}}{Icons arrange themselves.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxLC\_USER\_TEXT}}{The application provides label text on demand, except for column headers.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxLC\_EDIT\_LABELS}}{Labels are editable: the application will be notified when editing starts.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxLC\_NO\_HEADER}}{No header in report mode.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxLC\_SINGLE\_SEL}}{Single selection.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxLC\_SORT\_ASCENDING}}{Sort in ascending order (must still supply a comparison callback in SortItems.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxLC\_SORT\_DESCENDING}}{Sort in descending order (must still supply a comparison callback in SortItems.}
\end{twocollist}

\wxheading{Event handling}

To process input from a list control, use these event handler macros to direct input to member
functions that take a \helpref{wxListEvent}{wxlistevent} argument.

\twocolwidtha{7cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_LIST\_BEGIN\_DRAG(id, func)}}{Begin dragging with the left mouse button.}

\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_LIST\_GET\_INFO(id, func)}}{Request information from the application, usually the item text.}
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_LIST\_SET\_INFO(id, func)}}{Information is being supplied (not implemented).}
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_LIST\_ITEM\_SELECTED(id, func)}}{The item has been selected.}
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_LIST\_ITEM\_DESELECTED(id, func)}}{The item has been deselected.}
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_LIST\_KEY\_DOWN(id, func)}}{A key has been pressed.}
