12 @class wxHeaderCtrl
13
14 wxHeaderCtrl is the control containing the column headings which is usually
15 used for display of tabular data.
16
af67f39d
VZ
17 It is used as part of wxGrid, in generic version wxDataViewCtrl and report
18 view of wxListCtrl but can be also used independently. In general this
19 class is meant to be used as part of another control which already stores
20 the column information somewhere as it can't be used directly: instead you
21 need to inherit from it and implement the GetColumn() method to provide
22 column information. See wxHeaderCtrlSimple for a concrete control class
23 which can be used directly.
56873923
VZ
24
25 In addition to labeling the columns, the control has the following
26 features:
27 - Column reordering support, either by explicitly configuring the
28 columns order and calling SetColumnsOrder() or by dragging the
29 columns interactively (if enabled).
30 - Display of the icons in the header: this is often used to display a
31 sort or reverse sort indicator when the column header is clicked.
32
33 Notice that this control itself doesn't do anything other than displaying
34 the column headers. In particular column reordering and sorting must still
35 be supported by the associated control displaying the real data under the
f24f6579
VZ
36 header. Also remember to call ScrollWindow() method of the control if the
37 associated data display window has a horizontal scrollbar, otherwise the
38 headers wouldn't align with the data when the window is scrolled.
56873923
VZ
39
40 This control is implemented using the native header control under MSW
41 systems and a generic implementation elsewhere.

44 @section headerctrl_improvements Future Improvements
45
46 Some features are supported by the native MSW control and so could be
47 easily implemented in this version of wxHeaderCtrl but need to be
48 implemented in the generic version as well to be really useful. Please let
49 us know if you need or, better, plan to work on implementing, any of them:
50 - Displaying bitmaps instead of or together with the text
51 - Custom drawn headers
52 - Filters associated with a column.

60 If this style is specified, the control shows a popup menu allowing the

62 the program can always hide or show the columns, this style only
63 affects the users capability to do it.

70 @event{EVT_HEADER_CLICK(id, func)}
71 A column heading was clicked.
72 @event{EVT_HEADER_RIGHT_CLICK(id, func)}
73 A column heading was right clicked.
74 @event{EVT_HEADER_MIDDLE_CLICK(id, func)}
75 A column heading was clicked with the middle mouse button.
76 @event{EVT_HEADER_DCLICK(id, func)}
77 A column heading was double clicked.
78 @event{EVT_HEADER_RIGHT_DCLICK(id, func)}
79 A column heading was right double clicked.
80 @event{EVT_HEADER_MIDDLE_DCLICK(id, func)}
81 A column heading was double clicked with the middle mouse button.
82 @event{EVT_HEADER_SEPARATOR_DCLICK(id, func)}
83 Separator to the right of the specified column was double clicked
84 (this action is commonly used to resize the column to fit its
85 contents width and the control provides UpdateColumnWidthToFit() method
86 to make implementing this easier).
87 @event{EVT_HEADER_BEGIN_RESIZE(id, func)}
88 The user started to drag the separator to the right of the column
89 with the specified index (this can only happen for the columns for
90 which wxHeaderColumn::IsResizeable() returns true). The event can
91 be vetoed to prevent the column from being resized. If it isn't,
92 the resizing and end resize (or dragging cancelled) events will be
93 generated later.
94 @event{EVT_HEADER_RESIZING(id, func)}
95 The user is dragging the column with the specified index resizing
96 it and its current width is wxHeaderCtrlEvent::GetWidth().
97 The event can be vetoed to stop the dragging operation completely at
98 any time.
99 @event{EVT_HEADER_END_RESIZE(id, func)}
100 The user stopped dragging the column by releasing the mouse.
101 The column should normally be resized to the value of
102 wxHeaderCtrlEvent::GetWidth().
103 @event{EVT_HEADER_BEGIN_REORDER(id, func)}
104 The user started to drag the column with the specified index (this
613de0e8 105 can only happen for the controls with wxHD_ALLOW_REORDER style).
e2c4ccaf
FM
106 This event can be vetoed to prevent the column from being reordered,
107 otherwise the end reorder message will be generated later.
108 @event{EVT_HEADER_END_REORDER(id, func)}
109 The user dropped the column in its new location. The event can be
110 vetoed to prevent the column from being placed at the new position
111 or handled to update the display of the data in the associated
112 control to match the new column location (available from
113 wxHeaderCtrlEvent::GetNewOrder()).
114 @event{EVT_HEADER_DRAGGING_CANCELLED(id, func)}
115 The resizing or reordering operation currently in progress was
116 cancelled. This can happen if the user pressed Esc key while
117 dragging the mouse or the mouse capture was lost for some other
118 reason. You only need to handle this event if your application
119 entered into some modal mode when resizing or reordering began, in
120 which case it should handle this event in addition to the matching
121 end resizing or reordering ones.
