functions that take a wxListEvent argument.

\membersection{wxListEvent::wxListEvent}\label{wxlisteventctor}

\func{}{wxListEvent}{\param{WXTYPE }{commandType = 0}, \param{int }{id = 0}}

Constructor.


\membersection{wxListEvent::GetCacheFrom}\label{wxlisteventgetcachefrom}

\constfunc{long}{GetCacheFrom}{\void}

For {\tt EVT\_LIST\_CACHE\_HINT} event only: return the first item which the
list control advises us to cache.


\membersection{wxListEvent::GetCacheTo}\label{wxlisteventgetcacheto}

\constfunc{long}{GetCacheTo}{\void}

For {\tt EVT\_LIST\_CACHE\_HINT} event only: return the last item (inclusive)
which the list control advises us to cache.


\membersection{wxListEvent::GetKeyCode}\label{wxlisteventgetkeycode}

\constfunc{int}{GetKeyCode}{\void}

Key code if the event is a keypress event.


\membersection{wxListEvent::GetIndex}\label{wxlisteventgetindex}

\constfunc{long}{GetIndex}{\void}

The item index.


\membersection{wxListEvent::GetColumn}\label{wxlisteventgetcolumn}

\constfunc{int}{GetColumn}{\void}

The column position: it is only used with {\tt COL} events. For the column
dragging events, it is the column to the left of the divider being dragged, for
the column click events it may be $-1$ if the user clicked in the list control
header outside any column.


\membersection{wxListEvent::GetPoint}\label{wxlisteventgetpoint}

\constfunc{wxPoint}{GetPoint}{\void}

The position of the mouse pointer if the event is a drag event.



\membersection{wxListEvent::GetLabel}\label{wxlisteventgetlabel}

\constfunc{const wxString\&}{GetLabel}{\void}

The (new) item label for \texttt{EVT\_LIST\_END\_LABEL\_EDIT} event.


\membersection{wxListEvent::GetText}\label{wxlisteventgettext}

\constfunc{const wxString\&}{GetText}{\void}

The text.


\membersection{wxListEvent::GetImage}\label{wxlisteventgetimage}

\constfunc{int}{GetImage}{\void}

The image.


\membersection{wxListEvent::GetData}\label{wxlisteventgetdata}

\constfunc{long}{GetData}{\void}

The data.


\membersection{wxListEvent::GetMask}\label{wxlisteventgetmask}

\constfunc{long}{GetMask}{\void}

The mask.


\membersection{wxListEvent::GetItem}\label{wxlisteventgetitem}

\constfunc{const wxListItem\&}{GetItem}{\void}

An item object, used by some events. See also \helpref{wxListCtrl::SetItem}{wxlistctrlsetitem}.


\membersection{wxListEvent::IsEditCancelled}\label{wxlisteventiseditcancelled}

\constfunc{bool}{IsEditCancelled}{\void}

This method only makes sense for \texttt{EVT\_LIST\_END\_LABEL\_EDIT} message
and returns \true if it the label editing has been cancelled by the user
(\helpref{GetLabel}{wxlisteventgetlabel} returns an empty string in this case
but it doesn't allow to distinguish between really cancelling the edit and,
admittedly rare, case when the user wants to rename it to an empty string0.
