  12     @class wxRearrangeList
  13
  14     A listbox-like control allowing the user to rearrange the items and to
  15     enable or disable them.
  16
  17     This class allows to change the order of the items shown in it as well as
  18     to check or uncheck them individually. The data structure used to allow
  19     this is the order array which contains the items indices indexed by their
  20     position with an added twist that the unchecked items are represented by
  21     the bitwise complement of the corresponding index (for any architecture
  22     using two's complement for negative numbers representation (i.e. just about
  23     any at all) this means that a checked item N is represented by -N-1 in
  24     unchecked state). In practice this means that you must apply the C bitwise
  25     complement operator when constructing the order array, e.g.
  26     @code
  27         wxArrayInt order;
  28         order.push_back(0); // checked item #0
  29         order.push_back(~1); // unchecked item #1
  30     @endcode
  31
  32     So, for example, the array order [1 -3 0] used in conjunction with the
  33     items array ["first", "second", "third"] means that the items order is
  34     "second", "third", "first" and the "third" item is unchecked while the
  35     other two are checked.
  36
  37     This convention is used both for the order argument of the control ctor or
  38     Create() and for the array returned from GetCurrentOrder().
  39
  40     Usually this control will be used together with other controls allowing to
  41     move the items around in it interactively. The simplest possible solution
  42     is to use wxRearrangeCtrl which combines it with two standard buttons to
  43     move the current item up or down.
