   4 This class and its documentation are work in progress and
   5 therefore subject to change.
   6
   7 wxDataViewCtrl is planned to be a control to display data either
   8 in a tree like fashion or in a tabular form or both. So far,
   9 only the tabular form is implemented.
  10
  11 Unlike \helpref{wxListCtrl}{wxlistctrl} wxDataViewCtrl doesn't
  12 get its data from the user through virtual functions or events,
  13 instead you need to write your own
  14 \helpref{wxDataViewListModel}{wxdataviewlistmodel} and associate
  15 it with this control. Then you need to add a number of
  16 \helpref{wxDataViewColumn}{wxdataviewcolumn} to this control to
  17 define what each column shall display. Each wxDataViewColumn
  18 in turn owns 1 instance of a
  19 \helpref{wxDataViewRenderer}{wxdataviewrenderer} to render its
  20 cells. A number of standard renderers for rendering text, dates,
  21 images, toggle, a progress bar etc. are provided. Additionally,
  22 the user can write custom renderes deriving from
  23 \helpref{wxDataViewCustomRenderer}{wxdataviewcustomrenderer}
  24 for displaying anything.
  25
  26 All data transfer from the control to the model and the user
  27 code is done through \helpref{wxVariant}{wxvariant} which can
  28 be extended to support more data formats as necessary.
  29 Accordingly, all type information uses the strings returned
  30 from \helpref{wxVariant::GetType}{wxvariantgettype}.
  31
  32 So far, this control has been implemented for GTK+ and there
  33 is an almost complete generic implementation including several
  34 additions for a native Windows look and feel (in particular
  35 concerning the header). It is planned to implement the control
  36 natively under OS X.

  48
  49 To process input from a dataview control, use the following event handler
  50 macros to direct input to member functions that take a
  51 \helpref{wxDataViewEvent}{wxdataviewevent} argument.

  62
  63 Additionally, you can get informed about changes to the
  64 \helpref{model}{wxdataviewlistmodel}, to which a wxDataViewCtrl
  65 has been associated. These events correspond to the interface
  66 offered by \helpref{wxDataViewListModelNotifier}{wxdataviewlistmodelnotifier}.
