    @class wxHeaderCtrl

    wxHeaderCtrl is the control containing the column headings which is usually
    used for display of tabular data.

    It is used as part of wxGrid, in generic version wxDataViewCtrl and report
    view of wxListCtrl but can be also used independently. In general this
    class is meant to be used as part of another control which already stores
    the column information somewhere as it can't be used directly: instead you
    need to inherit from it and implement the GetColumn() method to provide
    column information. See wxHeaderCtrlSimple for a concrete control class
    which can be used directly.

    In addition to labeling the columns, the control has the following
    features:
        - Column reordering support, either by explicitly configuring the
          columns order and calling SetColumnsOrder() or by dragging the
          columns interactively (if enabled).
        - Display of the icons in the header: this is often used to display a
          sort or reverse sort indicator when the column header is clicked.

    Notice that this control itself doesn't do anything other than displaying
    the column headers. In particular column reordering and sorting must still
    be supported by the associated control displaying the real data under the
    header. Also remember to call ScrollWindow() method of the control if the
    associated data display window has a horizontal scrollbar, otherwise the
    headers wouldn't align with the data when the window is scrolled.

    This control is implemented using the native header control under MSW
    systems and a generic implementation elsewhere.


    @section headerctrl_improvements Future Improvements

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


    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxHD_ALLOW_REORDER}
        If this style is specified (it is by default), the user can reorder
        the control columns by dragging them.
    @style{wxHD_ALLOW_HIDE}
        If this style is specified, the control shows a popup menu allowing the
        user to change the columns visibility on right mouse click. Notice that
        the program can always hide or show the columns, this style only
        affects the users capability to do it.
    @style{wxHD_DEFAULT_STYLE}
        Symbolic name for the default control style, currently equal to
        @c wxHD_ALLOW_REORDER.
    @endStyleTable

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxHeaderCtrlEvent}
    @event{EVT_HEADER_CLICK(id, func)}
        A column heading was clicked.
    @event{EVT_HEADER_RIGHT_CLICK(id, func)}
        A column heading was right clicked.
    @event{EVT_HEADER_MIDDLE_CLICK(id, func)}
        A column heading was clicked with the middle mouse button.
    @event{EVT_HEADER_DCLICK(id, func)}
        A column heading was double clicked.
    @event{EVT_HEADER_RIGHT_DCLICK(id, func)}
        A column heading was right double clicked.
    @event{EVT_HEADER_MIDDLE_DCLICK(id, func)}
        A column heading was double clicked with the middle mouse button.
    @event{EVT_HEADER_SEPARATOR_DCLICK(id, func)}
        Separator to the right of the specified column was double clicked
        (this action is commonly used to resize the column to fit its
        contents width and the control provides UpdateColumnWidthToFit() method
        to make implementing this easier).
    @event{EVT_HEADER_BEGIN_RESIZE(id, func)}
        The user started to drag the separator to the right of the column
        with the specified index (this can only happen for the columns for
        which wxHeaderColumn::IsResizeable() returns true). The event can
        be vetoed to prevent the column from being resized. If it isn't,
        the resizing and end resize (or dragging cancelled) events will be
        generated later.
    @event{EVT_HEADER_RESIZING(id, func)}
        The user is dragging the column with the specified index resizing
        it and its current width is wxHeaderCtrlEvent::GetWidth().
        The event can be vetoed to stop the dragging operation completely at
        any time.
    @event{EVT_HEADER_END_RESIZE(id, func)}
        The user stopped dragging the column by releasing the mouse.
        The column should normally be resized to the value of
        wxHeaderCtrlEvent::GetWidth().
    @event{EVT_HEADER_BEGIN_REORDER(id, func)}
        The user started to drag the column with the specified index (this
        can only happen for the controls with wxHD_ALLOW_REORDER style).
        This event can be vetoed to prevent the column from being reordered,
        otherwise the end reorder message will be generated later.
    @event{EVT_HEADER_END_REORDER(id, func)}
        The user dropped the column in its new location. The event can be
        vetoed to prevent the column from being placed at the new position
        or handled to update the display of the data in the associated
        control to match the new column location (available from
        wxHeaderCtrlEvent::GetNewOrder()).
    @event{EVT_HEADER_DRAGGING_CANCELLED(id, func)}
        The resizing or reordering operation currently in progress was
        cancelled. This can happen if the user pressed Esc key while
        dragging the mouse or the mouse capture was lost for some other
        reason. You only need to handle this event if your application
        entered into some modal mode when resizing or reordering began, in
        which case it should handle this event in addition to the matching
        end resizing or reordering ones.
