50 @class wxCollapsiblePane
51
52 A collapsible pane is a container with an embedded button-like control
53 which can be used by the user to collapse or expand the pane's contents.
54
55 Once constructed you should use the GetPane() function to access the pane
56 and add your controls inside it (i.e. use the returned pointer from
57 GetPane() as parent for the controls which must go in the pane, @b not the
58 wxCollapsiblePane itself!).
59
60 Note that because of its nature of control which can dynamically (and
61 drastically) change its size at run-time under user-input, when putting
62 wxCollapsiblePane inside a wxSizer you should be careful to add it with a
63 proportion value of zero; this is because otherwise all other windows with
64 non-null proportion values will automatically resize each time the user
65 expands or collapse the pane window usually resulting in a weird,
66 flickering effect.
67
68 Usage sample:
69
70 @code
71 wxCollapsiblePane *collpane = new wxCollapsiblePane(this, wxID_ANY, "Details:");
72
73 // add the pane with a zero proportion value to the 'sz' sizer which contains it
74 sz->Add(collpane, 0, wxGROW|wxALL, 5);
75
76 // now add a test label in the collapsible pane using a sizer to layout it:
77 wxWindow *win = collpane->GetPane();
78 wxSizer *paneSz = new wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);
79 paneSz->Add(new wxStaticText(win, wxID_ANY, "test!"), 1, wxGROW|wxALL, 2);
80 win->SetSizer(paneSz);
81 paneSz->SetSizeHints(win);
82 @endcode
83
84 It is only available if @c wxUSE_COLLPANE is set to 1 (the default).
85
86 @beginStyleTable
87 @style{wxCP_DEFAULT_STYLE}
88 The default style. It includes wxTAB_TRAVERSAL and wxBORDER_NONE.
89 @style{wxCP_NO_TLW_RESIZE}
90 By default wxCollapsiblePane resizes the top level window containing it
91 when its own size changes. This allows to easily implement dialogs
92 containing an optionally shown part, for example, and so is the default
93 behaviour but can be inconvenient in some specific cases -- use this
94 flag to disable this automatic parent resizing then.
95 @endStyleTable
96
97 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCollapsiblePaneEvent,wxNavigationKeyEvent}
98 @event{EVT_COLLAPSIBLEPANE_CHANGED(id, func)}
99 The user expanded or collapsed the collapsible pane.
100 @event{EVT_NAVIGATION_KEY(func)}
101 Process a navigation key event.
