12 A list control presents lists in a number of formats: list view, report view,
13 icon view and small icon view. In any case, elements are numbered from zero.
14 For all these modes, the items are stored in the control and must be added to
15 it using wxListCtrl::InsertItem method.
17 A special case of report view quite different from the other modes of the list
18 control is a virtual control in which the items data (including text, images
19 and attributes) is managed by the main program and is requested by the control
20 itself only when needed which allows to have controls with millions of items
21 without consuming much memory. To use virtual list control you must use
22 wxListCtrl::SetItemCount first and override at least wxListCtrl::OnGetItemText
23 (and optionally wxListCtrl::OnGetItemImage or wxListCtrl::OnGetItemColumnImage and
24 wxListCtrl::OnGetItemAttr) to return the information about the items when the
27 Virtual list control can be used as a normal one except that no operations
28 which can take time proportional to the number of items in the control happen
29 -- this is required to allow having a practically infinite number of items.
30 For example, in a multiple selection virtual list control, the selections won't
31 be sent when many items are selected at once because this could mean iterating
34 Using many of wxListCtrl features is shown in the
35 @ref page_samples_listctrl "corresponding sample".
37 To intercept events from a list control, use the event table macros described
40 <b>wxMac Note</b>: Starting with wxWidgets 2.8, wxListCtrl uses a native
41 implementation for report mode, and uses a generic implementation for other
42 modes. You can use the generic implementation for report mode as well by setting
43 the @c mac.listctrl.always_use_generic system option (see wxSystemOptions) to 1.
48 Multicolumn list view, with optional small icons. Columns are
49 computed automatically, i.e. you don't set columns as in
50 @c wxLC_REPORT. In other words, the list wraps, unlike a wxListBox.
52 Single or multicolumn report view, with optional header.
54 The application provides items text on demand. May only be used
57 Large icon view, with optional labels.
58 @style{wxLC_SMALL_ICON}

63 Icons align to the left.
64 @style{wxLC_AUTOARRANGE}
65 Icons arrange themselves. Win32 only.
66 @style{wxLC_EDIT_LABELS}

201 Arranges the items in icon or small icon view.
202 This only has effect on Win32. @a flag is one of:
203 - wxLIST_ALIGN_DEFAULT: Default alignment.
204 - wxLIST_ALIGN_LEFT: Align to the left side of the control.
205 - wxLIST_ALIGN_TOP: Align to the top side of the control.

239 Deletes all items in the list control.
241 This function does @e not send the @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LIST_DELETE_ITEM
242 event because deleting many items from the control would be too slow
243 then (unlike wxListCtrl::DeleteItem) but it does send the special @c
244 wxEVT_COMMAND_LIST_DELETE_ALL_ITEMS event if the control was not empty.
245 If it was already empty, nothing is done and no event is sent.
247 @return @true if the items were successfully deleted or if the control
248 was already empty, @false if an error occurred while deleting the
251 bool DeleteAllItems();

260 This function sends the @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LIST_DELETE_ITEM event for the
263 @see DeleteAllItems()
265 bool DeleteItem(long item

268 Starts editing the label of the given item.
270 This function generates a @c EVT_LIST_BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT event which can be
271 vetoed so that no text control will appear for in-place editing.
273 If the user changed the label (i.e. s/he does not press ESC or leave
274 the text control without changes, a @c EVT_LIST_END_LABEL_EDIT event
275 will be sent which can be vetoed as well.

278 wxClassInfo
* textControlClass
= wxCLASSINFO(wxTextCtrl

281 Finish editing the label.
283 This method allows to programmatically end editing a list control item
284 in place. Usually it will only be called when editing is in progress,
285 i.e. if GetEditControl() returns non-NULL. In particular, do not call
286 it from EVT_LIST_BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT handler as the edit control is not
287 yet fully created by then, just veto the event in this handler instead
288 to prevent the editing from even starting.
290 Notice that calling this method will result in EVT_LIST_END_LABEL_EDIT
291 event being generated.
293 Currently only implemented in wxMSW.
295 @param cancel If @true, discard the changes made by user, as if @c
296 Escape key was pressed. Otherwise, accept the changes as if @c

355 Returns the number of columns.
357 int GetColumnCount() const;
360 Gets the column index from its position in visual order.
362 After calling SetColumnsOrder(), the index returned by this function

367 additional remarks about the columns ordering.
369 @see GetColumnOrder()
371 int GetColumnIndexFromOrder(int pos
) const;
374 Gets the column visual order position.
376 This function returns the index of the column which appears at the
377 given visual position, e.g. calling it with @a col equal to 0 returns
378 the index of the first shown column.

412 Returns the edit control being currently used to edit a label.
413 Returns @NULL if no label is being edited.
415 @note It is currently only implemented for wxMSW and the generic version,
416 not for the native Mac OS X version.
418 wxTextCtrl
* GetEditControl() const;
421 Returns the specified image list. @a which may be one of:
422 - wxIMAGE_LIST_NORMAL: The normal (large icon) image list.
423 - wxIMAGE_LIST_SMALL: The small icon image list.
424 - wxIMAGE_LIST_STATE: The user-defined state image list (unimplemented).
426 wxImageList
* GetImageList(int which
) const;
429 Gets information about the item. See SetItem() for more information.
431 You must call @e info.SetId() to set the ID of item you're interested in
432 before calling this method, and @e info.SetMask() with the flags indicating
433 what fields you need to retrieve from @a info.
436 In wxPerl this method takes as parameter the ID of the item
437 and (optionally) the column, and returns a Wx::ListItem object.
440 bool GetItem(wxListItem
& info
) const;
443 Returns the colour for this item.
444 If the item has no specific colour, returns an invalid colour
445 (and not the default background control of the control itself).

487 bool GetItemRect(long item
, wxRect
& rect
,
488 int code
= wxLIST_RECT_BOUNDS

492 returned as @c x component of the wxSize object and the vertical spacing
493 as its @c y component.
495 wxSize
GetItemSpacing() const;
498 Gets the item state. For a list of state flags, see SetItem().

510 parameter is new in wxWidgets 2.9.1.
512 wxString
GetItemText(long item
, int col
= 0) const;
515 Returns the colour for this item.
517 If the item has no specific colour, returns an invalid colour (and not the
518 default foreground control of the control itself as this wouldn't allow
519 distinguishing between items having the same colour as the current control
520 foreground and items with default colour which, hence, have always the
521 same colour as the control).
523 wxColour
GetItemTextColour(long item
) const;
526 Searches for an item with the given geometry or state, starting from
527 @a item but excluding the @a item itself.
529 If @a item is -1, the first item that matches the specified flags will be returned.
530 Returns the first item with given state following @a item or -1 if no such item found.
531 This function may be used to find all selected items in the control like this:
537 item = listctrl->GetNextItem(item,
539 wxLIST_STATE_SELECTED);
543 // this item is selected - do whatever is needed with it
544 wxLogMessage("Item %ld is selected.", item);
548 @a geometry can be one of:
549 - wxLIST_NEXT_ABOVE: Searches for an item above the specified item.
550 - wxLIST_NEXT_ALL: Searches for subsequent item by index.
551 - wxLIST_NEXT_BELOW: Searches for an item below the specified item.
552 - wxLIST_NEXT_LEFT: Searches for an item to the left of the specified item.
553 - wxLIST_NEXT_RIGHT: Searches for an item to the right of the specified item.
555 @note this parameter is only supported by wxMSW currently and ignored on
558 @a state can be a bitlist of the following:
559 - wxLIST_STATE_DONTCARE: Don't care what the state is.
560 - wxLIST_STATE_DROPHILITED: The item indicates it is a drop target.
561 - wxLIST_STATE_FOCUSED: The item has the focus.
562 - wxLIST_STATE_SELECTED: The item is selected.
563 - wxLIST_STATE_CUT: The item is selected as part of a cut and paste operation.

575 coordinates, of the given subitem, i.e. the part of the row @a item in the
578 This method is only meaningful when the wxListCtrl is in the report mode.
579 If @a subItem parameter is equal to the special value
580 @c wxLIST_GETSUBITEMRECT_WHOLEITEM the return value is the same as
583 @a code can be one of @c wxLIST_RECT_BOUNDS, @c wxLIST_RECT_ICON or

GetTextColour() const;
597 Gets the index of the topmost visible item when in list or report view.
599 long GetTopItem() const;
602 Returns the rectangle taken by all items in the control. In other words, if the
603 controls client size were equal to the size of this rectangle, no scrollbars
604 would be needed and no free space would be left.
606 Note that this function only works in the icon and small icon views, not in
607 list or report views (this is a limitation of the native Win32 control).
609 wxRect
GetViewRect() const;
612 Determines which item (if any) is at the specified point, giving details
613 in @a flags. Returns index of the item or @c wxNOT_FOUND if no item is at
616 @a flags will be a combination of the following flags:
617 - wxLIST_HITTEST_ABOVE: Above the client area.
618 - wxLIST_HITTEST_BELOW: Below the client area.

621 - wxLIST_HITTEST_ONITEMLABEL: On the label (string) associated with an item.
622 - wxLIST_HITTEST_ONITEMRIGHT: In the area to the right of an item.
623 - wxLIST_HITTEST_ONITEMSTATEICON: On the state icon for a tree view item
624 that is in a user-defined state.
625 - wxLIST_HITTEST_TOLEFT: To the right of the client area.
626 - wxLIST_HITTEST_TORIGHT: To the left of the client area.
627 - wxLIST_HITTEST_ONITEM: Combination of @c wxLIST_HITTEST_ONITEMICON,
628 @c wxLIST_HITTEST_ONITEMLABEL, @c wxLIST_HITTEST_ONITEMSTATEICON.
630 If @a ptrSubItem is not @NULL and the wxListCtrl is in the report
631 mode the subitem (or column) number will also be provided.
632 This feature is only available in version 2.7.0 or higher and is currently only
633 implemented under wxMSW and requires at least comctl32.dll of verion 4.70 on
634 the host system or the value stored in @a ptrSubItem will be always -1.
635 To compile this feature into wxWidgets library you need to have access to
636 commctrl.h of version 4.70 that is provided by Microsoft.
639 In wxPerl this method only takes the @a point parameter
640 and returns a 2-element list (item, flags).

);
754 Sets the column width.
756 @a width can be a width in pixels or @c wxLIST_AUTOSIZE (-1) or
757 @c wxLIST_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER (-2).
759 @c wxLIST_AUTOSIZE will resize the column to the length of its longest item.
761 @c wxLIST_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER will resize the column to the length of the
762 header (Win32) or 80 pixels (other platforms).
764 In small or normal icon view, @a col must be -1, and the column width is set
767 bool SetColumnWidth(int col
, int width
);
770 Changes the order in which the columns are shown.
772 By default, the columns of a list control appear on the screen in order
773 of their indices, i.e. the column 0 appears first, the column 1 next
774 and so on. However by using this function it is possible to arbitrarily
775 reorder the columns visual order and the user can also rearrange the
776 columns interactively by dragging them. In this case, the index of the
777 column is not the same as its order and the functions GetColumnOrder()
778 and GetColumnIndexFromOrder() should be used to translate between them.
779 Notice that all the other functions still work with the column indices,
780 i.e. the visual positioning of the columns on screen doesn't affect the
781 code setting or getting their values for example.
783 The @a orders array must have the same number elements as the number of
784 columns and contain each position exactly once. Its n-th element
785 contains the index of the column to be shown in n-th position, so for a
786 control with three columns passing an array with elements 2, 0 and 1
787 results in the third column being displayed first, the first one next
788 and the second one last.
792 wxListCtrl *list = new wxListCtrl(...);
793 for ( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ )
794 list->InsertColumn(i, wxString::Format("Column %d", i));
800 list->SetColumnsOrder(order);
802 // now list->GetColumnsOrder() will return order and
803 // list->GetColumnIndexFromOrder(n) will return order[n] and
804 // list->GetColumnOrder() will return 1, 2 and 0 for the column 0,
805 // 1 and 2 respectively
808 Please notice that this function makes sense for report view only and
809 currently is only implemented in wxMSW port. To avoid explicit tests
810 for @c __WXMSW__ in your code, please use @c wxHAS_LISTCTRL_COLUMN_ORDER
811 as this will allow it to start working under the other platforms when
812 support for the column reordering is added there.
814 @see GetColumnsOrder()
816 bool SetColumnsOrder(const wxArrayInt
& orders
) const;
819 Sets the image list associated with the control.
821 @a which is one of @c wxIMAGE_LIST_NORMAL, @c wxIMAGE_LIST_SMALL,
822 @c wxIMAGE_LIST_STATE (the last is unimplemented).
824 This method does not take ownership of the image list, you have to
827 @see AssignImageList()
829 void SetImageList(wxImageList
* imageList
, int which
);
832 Sets the data of an item.
834 Using the wxListItem's mask and state mask, you can change only selected
835 attributes of a wxListCtrl item.
837 bool SetItem(wxListItem
& info
);
840 Sets an item string field at a particular column.
842 long SetItem(long index
, int column
, const wxString
& label
, int imageId
= -1);
845 Sets the background colour for this item.
846 This function only works in report view mode.
847 The colour can be retrieved using GetItemBackgroundColour().
849 void SetItemBackgroundColour(long item
, const wxColour
& col
);
852 Sets the image associated with the item.
853 In report view, you can specify the column.
854 The image is an index into the image list associated with the list control.
856 bool SetItemColumnImage(long item
, long column
, int image
);
859 This method can only be used with virtual list controls.
861 It is used to indicate to the control the number of items it contains.
862 After calling it, the main program should be ready to handle calls to
863 various item callbacks (such as wxListCtrl::OnGetItemText) for all
864 items in the range from 0 to @a count.
866 Notice that the control is not necessarily redrawn after this call as
867 it may be undesirable if an item which is not visible on the screen
868 anyhow was added to or removed from a control displaying many items, if
869 you do need to refresh the display you can just call Refresh() manually.
871 void SetItemCount(long count
);
874 Associates application-defined data with this item.
876 Notice that this function cannot be used to associate pointers with the control
877 items, use SetItemPtrData() instead.
879 bool SetItemData(long item
, long data
);
882 Sets the item's font.
884 void SetItemFont(long item
, const wxFont
& font
);
887 Sets the unselected and selected images associated with the item.
888 The images are indices into the image list associated with the list control.
890 bool SetItemImage(long item
, int image
, int selImage
= -1);
893 Sets the unselected and selected images associated with the item.
894 The images are indices into the image list associated with the list control.
897 This form is deprecated: @a selImage is not used; use the other
898 SetItemImage() overload.
900 bool SetItemImage(long item
, int image
, int selImage
= -1);
903 Sets the position of the item, in icon or small icon view. Windows only.
905 bool SetItemPosition(long item
, const wxPoint
& pos
);
908 Associates application-defined data with this item.
910 The @a data parameter may be either an integer or a pointer cast to the
911 @c wxUIntPtr type which is guaranteed to be large enough to be able to
912 contain all integer types and pointers.
916 bool SetItemPtrData(long item
, wxUIntPtr data
);
919 Sets the item state. For a list of state flags, see SetItem().
920 The @b stateMask indicates which state flags are valid.
922 bool SetItemState(long item
, long state
, long stateMask
);
925 Sets the item text for this item.
927 void SetItemText(long item
, const wxString
& text
);
930 Sets the colour for this item.
931 This function only works in report view.
932 The colour can be retrieved using GetItemTextColour().
934 void SetItemTextColour(long item
, const wxColour
& col
);
937 Adds or removes a single window style.
939 void SetSingleStyle(long style
, bool add
= true);
942 Sets the text colour of the list control.
944 void SetTextColour(const wxColour
& col
);
947 Sets the whole window style, deleting all items.
949 void SetWindowStyleFlag(long style
);
952 Call this function to sort the items in the list control. Sorting is done
953 using the specified @a fnSortCallBack function. This function must have the
956 int wxCALLBACK wxListCompareFunction(long item1, long item2, wxIntPtr sortData)
959 It is called each time when the two items must be compared and should return 0
960 if the items are equal, negative value if the first item is less than the
961 second one and positive value if the first one is greater than the second one
962 (the same convention as used by @c qsort(3)).
964 The parameter @e item1 is the client data associated with the first item (NOT the index).
965 The parameter @e item2 is the client data associated with the second item (NOT the index).
966 The parameter @e data is the value passed to SortItems() itself.
968 Notice that the control may only be sorted on client data associated with
969 the items, so you must use SetItemData if you want to be able to sort the
970 items in the control.
972 Please see the @ref page_samples_listctrl for an example of using this function.
975 In wxPerl the comparison function must take just two parameters;
976 however, you may use a closure to achieve an effect similar to the
977 SortItems third parameter.
980 bool SortItems(wxListCtrlCompare fnSortCallBack
, wxIntPtr data
);
985 This function may be overridden in the derived class for a control with
986 @c wxLC_VIRTUAL style. It should return the attribute for the specified
987 @c item or @NULL to use the default appearance parameters.
989 wxListCtrl will not delete the pointer or keep a reference of it.
990 You can return the same wxListItemAttr pointer for every OnGetItemAttr() call.
992 The base class version always returns @NULL.

1031 @c wxLC_VIRTUAL style having an "image list" (see SetImageList(); if the
1032 control doesn't have an image list, it is not necessary to override it).
1033 It should return the index of the items image in the controls image list
1036 In a control with @c wxLC_REPORT style, OnGetItemImage() only gets called for
1037 the first column of each line.

1275 This class currently simply presents a simpler to use interface for the
1276 wxListCtrl -- it can be thought of as a @e façade for that complicated class.
1278 Using it is preferable to using wxListCtrl directly whenever possible because
1279 in the future some ports might implement wxListView but not the full set of
1280 wxListCtrl features.
1282 Other than different interface, this class is identical to wxListCtrl.
1283 In particular, it uses the same events, same window styles and so on.

1383 wxListItem is a class which contains informations about:
1384 - Zero based item position; see SetId() and GetId().
1385 - Zero based column index; see SetColumn() and GetColumn().
1386 - The label (or header for columns); see SetText() and GetText().

1408 - @c wxLIST_MASK_FORMAT: The column format field is valid.
1410 The wxListItem object can also contain item-specific colour and font
1411 information: for this you need to call one of SetTextColour(), SetBackgroundColour()
1412 or SetFont() functions on it passing it the colour/font to use.
1413 If the colour/font is not specified, the default list control colour/font is used.
