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}

214 Arranges the items in icon or small icon view.
215 This only has effect on Win32. @a flag is one of:
216 - wxLIST_ALIGN_DEFAULT: Default alignment.
217 - wxLIST_ALIGN_LEFT: Align to the left side of the control.
218 - wxLIST_ALIGN_TOP: Align to the top side of the control.
219 - wxLIST_ALIGN_SNAP_TO_GRID: Snap to grid.

252 Deletes all items in the list control.
254 This function does @e not send the @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LIST_DELETE_ITEM
255 event because deleting many items from the control would be too slow
256 then (unlike wxListCtrl::DeleteItem) but it does send the special @c
257 wxEVT_COMMAND_LIST_DELETE_ALL_ITEMS event if the control was not empty.
258 If it was already empty, nothing is done and no event is sent.
260 @return @true if the items were successfully deleted or if the control
261 was already empty, @false if an error occurred while deleting the
264 bool DeleteAllItems();

272 Deletes the specified item.
273 This function sends the @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LIST_DELETE_ITEM event for the
276 @see DeleteAllItems()
278 bool DeleteItem(long item

281 Starts editing the label of the given item.
283 This function generates a @c EVT_LIST_BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT event which can be
284 vetoed so that no text control will appear for in-place editing.
286 If the user changed the label (i.e. s/he does not press ESC or leave
287 the text control without changes, a @c EVT_LIST_END_LABEL_EDIT event
288 will be sent which can be vetoed as well.
290 wxTextCtrl

,
291 wxClassInfo
* textControlClass
= wxCLASSINFO(wxTextCtrl

294 Finish editing the label.
296 This method allows to programmatically end editing a list control item
297 in place. Usually it will only be called when editing is in progress,
298 i.e. if GetEditControl() returns non-NULL. In particular, do not call
299 it from EVT_LIST_BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT handler as the edit control is not
300 yet fully created by then, just veto the event in this handler instead
301 to prevent the editing from even starting.
303 Notice that calling this method will result in EVT_LIST_END_LABEL_EDIT
304 event being generated.
306 Currently only implemented in wxMSW.
308 @param cancel If @true, discard the changes made by user, as if @c
309 Escape key was pressed. Otherwise, accept the changes as if @c

439 wxImageList
* GetImageList(int which
) const;
442 Gets information about the item. See SetItem() for more information.
444 You must call @e info.SetId() to set the ID of item you're interested in
445 before calling this method, and @e info.SetMask() with the flags indicating
446 what fields you need to retrieve from @a info.
449 In wxPerl this method takes as parameter the ID of the item
450 and (optionally) the column, and returns a Wx::ListItem object.
453 bool GetItem(wxListItem
& info
) const;
456 Returns the colour for this item.
457 If the item has no specific colour, returns an invalid colour
458 (and not the default background control of the control itself).

505 returned as @c x component of the wxSize object and the vertical spacing
506 as its @c y component.
508 wxSize
GetItemSpacing() const;
511 Gets the item state. For a list of state flags, see SetItem().

525 wxString
GetItemText(long item
, int col
= 0) const;
528 Returns the colour for this item.
530 If the item has no specific colour, returns an invalid colour (and not the
531 default foreground control of the control itself as this wouldn't allow
532 distinguishing between items having the same colour as the current control
533 foreground and items with default colour which, hence, have always the
534 same colour as the control).
536 wxColour
GetItemTextColour(long item
) const;
539 Searches for an item with the given geometry or state, starting from
540 @a item but excluding the @a item itself.
542 If @a item is -1, the first item that matches the specified flags will be returned.
543 Returns the first item with given state following @a item or -1 if no such item found.
544 This function may be used to find all selected items in the control like this:
550 item = listctrl->GetNextItem(item,
552 wxLIST_STATE_SELECTED);
556 // this item is selected - do whatever is needed with it
557 wxLogMessage("Item %ld is selected.", item);
561 @a geometry can be one of:
562 - wxLIST_NEXT_ABOVE: Searches for an item above the specified item.
563 - wxLIST_NEXT_ALL: Searches for subsequent item by index.
564 - wxLIST_NEXT_BELOW: Searches for an item below the specified item.
565 - wxLIST_NEXT_LEFT: Searches for an item to the left of the specified item.
566 - wxLIST_NEXT_RIGHT: Searches for an item to the right of the specified item.

573 - wxLIST_STATE_DROPHILITED: The item indicates it is a drop target.
574 - wxLIST_STATE_FOCUSED: The item has the focus.
575 - wxLIST_STATE_SELECTED: The item is selected.
576 - wxLIST_STATE_CUT: The item is selected as part of a cut and paste operation.

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

610 Gets the index of the topmost visible item when in list or report view.
612 long GetTopItem() const;
615 Returns the rectangle taken by all items in the control. In other words, if the
616 controls client size were equal to the size of this rectangle, no scrollbars
617 would be needed and no free space would be left.
619 Note that this function only works in the icon and small icon views, not in
620 list or report views (this is a limitation of the native Win32 control).
622 wxRect
GetViewRect() const;
625 Determines which item (if any) is at the specified point, giving details
626 in @a flags. Returns index of the item or @c wxNOT_FOUND if no item is at
629 @a flags will be a combination of the following flags:
630 - wxLIST_HITTEST_ABOVE: Above the client area.

639 - wxLIST_HITTEST_TORIGHT: To the left of the client area.
640 - wxLIST_HITTEST_ONITEM: Combination of @c wxLIST_HITTEST_ONITEMICON,
641 @c wxLIST_HITTEST_ONITEMLABEL, @c wxLIST_HITTEST_ONITEMSTATEICON.
643 If @a ptrSubItem is not @NULL and the wxListCtrl is in the report
644 mode the subitem (or column) number will also be provided.
645 This feature is only available in version 2.7.0 or higher and is currently only
646 implemented under wxMSW and requires at least comctl32.dll of verion 4.70 on
647 the host system or the value stored in @a ptrSubItem will be always -1.
648 To compile this feature into wxWidgets library you need to have access to
649 commctrl.h of version 4.70 that is provided by Microsoft.
652 In wxPerl this method only takes the @a point parameter
653 and returns a 2-element list (item, flags).

664 For report view mode (only), inserts a column.
666 For more details, see SetItem(). Also see InsertColumn(long, const
667 wxString&, int, int) overload for a usually more convenient
668 alternative to this method and the description of how the item width
669 is interpreted by this method.
671 long InsertColumn(long col
, const wxListItem
& info
);
674 For report view mode (only), inserts a column.
676 Insert a new column in the list control in report view mode at the
677 given position specifying its most common attributes.
679 Notice that to set the image for the column you need to use
680 Insert(long, const wxListItem&) overload and specify ::wxLIST_MASK_IMAGE
684 The index where the column should be inserted. Valid indices are
685 from 0 up to GetColumnCount() inclusive and the latter can be used
686 to append the new column after the last existing one.
688 The string specifying the column heading.
690 The flags specifying the control heading text alignment.
692 If positive, the width of the column in pixels. Otherwise it can be
693 @c wxLIST_AUTOSIZE to choose the default size for the column or @c
694 wxLIST_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER to fit the column width to @a heading or
695 to extend to fill all the remaining space for the last column.
696 Notice that in case of @c wxLIST_AUTOSIZE fixed width is used as
697 there are no items in this column to use for determining its best
698 size yet. If you want to fit the column to its contents, use
699 SetColumnWidth() after adding the items with values in this column.
701 The index of the inserted column or -1 if adding it failed.

735 Index into the image list associated with this control and view style
738 In wxPerl this method is implemented as InsertImageItem(index, imageIndex).
741 long InsertItem(long index
, int imageIndex
);
744 Insert an image/string item.
747 Index of the new item, supplied by the application
751 Index into the image list associated with this control and view style
754 In wxPerl this method is implemented as InsertImageStringItem(index, label, imageIndex).
757 long InsertItem(long index
, const wxString
& label
,
761 Returns true if the control is currently in virtual report view.
763 bool IsVirtual() const;
766 Redraws the given @e item.
768 This is only useful for the virtual list controls as without calling this
769 function the displayed value of the item doesn't change even when the
770 underlying data does change.
774 void RefreshItem(long item
);
777 Redraws the items between @a itemFrom and @e itemTo.
778 The starting item must be less than or equal to the ending one.
780 Just as RefreshItem() this is only useful for virtual list controls.
782 void RefreshItems(long itemFrom
, long itemTo
);
785 Scrolls the list control. If in icon, small icon or report view mode,
786 @a dx specifies the number of pixels to scroll. If in list view mode,
787 @a dx specifies the number of columns to scroll. @a dy always specifies
788 the number of pixels to scroll vertically.
790 @note This method is currently only implemented in the Windows version.
792 bool ScrollList(int dx
, int dy
);
795 Sets the background colour.
797 Note that the wxWindow::GetBackgroundColour() function of wxWindow base
798 class can be used to retrieve the current background colour.
800 virtual bool SetBackgroundColour(const wxColour
& col
);
803 Sets information about this column.
804 See SetItem() for more information.
806 bool SetColumn(int col
, wxListItem
& item
);
809 Sets the column width.
811 @a width can be a width in pixels or @c wxLIST_AUTOSIZE (-1) or
812 @c wxLIST_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER (-2).
814 @c wxLIST_AUTOSIZE will resize the column to the length of its longest item.
816 @c wxLIST_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER will resize the column to the length of the
817 header (Win32) or 80 pixels (other platforms).
819 In small or normal icon view, @a col must be -1, and the column width is set
822 bool SetColumnWidth(int col
, int width
);
825 Changes the order in which the columns are shown.
827 By default, the columns of a list control appear on the screen in order
828 of their indices, i.e. the column 0 appears first, the column 1 next
829 and so on. However by using this function it is possible to arbitrarily
830 reorder the columns visual order and the user can also rearrange the
831 columns interactively by dragging them. In this case, the index of the
832 column is not the same as its order and the functions GetColumnOrder()
833 and GetColumnIndexFromOrder() should be used to translate between them.
834 Notice that all the other functions still work with the column indices,
835 i.e. the visual positioning of the columns on screen doesn't affect the
836 code setting or getting their values for example.
838 The @a orders array must have the same number elements as the number of
839 columns and contain each position exactly once. Its n-th element
840 contains the index of the column to be shown in n-th position, so for a
841 control with three columns passing an array with elements 2, 0 and 1
842 results in the third column being displayed first, the first one next
843 and the second one last.
847 wxListCtrl *list = new wxListCtrl(...);
848 for ( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ )
849 list->InsertColumn(i, wxString::Format("Column %d", i));
855 list->SetColumnsOrder(order);
857 // now list->GetColumnsOrder() will return order and
858 // list->GetColumnIndexFromOrder(n) will return order[n] and
859 // list->GetColumnOrder() will return 1, 2 and 0 for the column 0,
860 // 1 and 2 respectively
863 Please notice that this function makes sense for report view only and
864 currently is only implemented in wxMSW port. To avoid explicit tests
865 for @c __WXMSW__ in your code, please use @c wxHAS_LISTCTRL_COLUMN_ORDER
866 as this will allow it to start working under the other platforms when
867 support for the column reordering is added there.
869 @see GetColumnsOrder()
871 bool SetColumnsOrder(const wxArrayInt
& orders
);
874 Sets the image list associated with the control.
876 @a which is one of @c wxIMAGE_LIST_NORMAL, @c wxIMAGE_LIST_SMALL,
877 @c wxIMAGE_LIST_STATE (the last is unimplemented).
879 This method does not take ownership of the image list, you have to
882 @see AssignImageList()
884 void SetImageList(wxImageList
* imageList
, int which
);
887 Sets the data of an item.
889 Using the wxListItem's mask and state mask, you can change only selected
890 attributes of a wxListCtrl item.
892 bool SetItem(wxListItem
& info
);
895 Sets an item string field at a particular column.
897 long SetItem(long index
, int column
, const wxString
& label
, int imageId
= -1);
900 Sets the background colour for this item.
901 This function only works in report view mode.
902 The colour can be retrieved using GetItemBackgroundColour().
904 void SetItemBackgroundColour(long item
, const wxColour
& col
);
907 Sets the image associated with the item.
908 In report view, you can specify the column.
909 The image is an index into the image list associated with the list control.
911 bool SetItemColumnImage(long item
, long column
, int image
);
914 This method can only be used with virtual list controls.
916 It is used to indicate to the control the number of items it contains.
917 After calling it, the main program should be ready to handle calls to
918 various item callbacks (such as wxListCtrl::OnGetItemText) for all
919 items in the range from 0 to @a count.
921 Notice that the control is not necessarily redrawn after this call as
922 it may be undesirable if an item which is not visible on the screen
923 anyhow was added to or removed from a control displaying many items, if
924 you do need to refresh the display you can just call Refresh() manually.
926 void SetItemCount(long count
);
929 Associates application-defined data with this item.
931 Notice that this function cannot be used to associate pointers with the control
932 items, use SetItemPtrData() instead.
934 bool SetItemData(long item
, long data
);
937 Sets the item's font.
939 void SetItemFont(long item
, const wxFont
& font
);
942 Sets the unselected and selected images associated with the item.
943 The images are indices into the image list associated with the list control.
945 bool SetItemImage(long item
, int image
, int selImage
= -1);
948 Sets the unselected and selected images associated with the item.
949 The images are indices into the image list associated with the list control.
952 This form is deprecated: @a selImage is not used; use the other
953 SetItemImage() overload.
955 bool SetItemImage(long item
, int image
, int selImage
= -1);
958 Sets the position of the item, in icon or small icon view. Windows only.
960 bool SetItemPosition(long item
, const wxPoint
& pos
);
963 Associates application-defined data with this item.
965 The @a data parameter may be either an integer or a pointer cast to the
966 @c wxUIntPtr type which is guaranteed to be large enough to be able to
967 contain all integer types and pointers.
971 bool SetItemPtrData(long item
, wxUIntPtr data
);
974 Sets the item state. For a list of state flags, see SetItem().
975 The @b stateMask indicates which state flags are valid.
977 bool SetItemState(long item
, long state
, long stateMask
);
980 Sets the item text for this item.
982 void SetItemText(long item
, const wxString
& text
);
985 Sets the colour for this item.
986 This function only works in report view.
987 The colour can be retrieved using GetItemTextColour().
989 void SetItemTextColour(long item
, const wxColour
& col
);
992 Adds or removes a single window style.
994 void SetSingleStyle(long style
, bool add
= true);
997 Sets the text colour of the list control.
999 void SetTextColour(const wxColour
& col
);
1002 Sets the whole window style, deleting all items.
1004 void SetWindowStyleFlag(long style
);
1007 Call this function to sort the items in the list control. Sorting is done
1008 using the specified @a fnSortCallBack function. This function must have the
1009 following prototype:
1011 int wxCALLBACK wxListCompareFunction(wxIntPtr item1, wxIntPtr item2, wxIntPtr sortData)
1014 It is called each time when the two items must be compared and should return 0
1015 if the items are equal, negative value if the first item is less than the
1016 second one and positive value if the first one is greater than the second one
1017 (the same convention as used by @c qsort(3)).
1019 The parameter @e item1 is the client data associated with the first item (NOT the index).
1020 The parameter @e item2 is the client data associated with the second item (NOT the index).
1021 The parameter @e data is the value passed to SortItems() itself.
1023 Notice that the control may only be sorted on client data associated with
1024 the items, so you must use SetItemData if you want to be able to sort the
1025 items in the control.
1027 Please see the @ref page_samples_listctrl for an example of using this function.
1030 In wxPerl the comparison function must take just two parameters;
1031 however, you may use a closure to achieve an effect similar to the
1032 SortItems third parameter.
1035 bool SortItems(wxListCtrlCompare fnSortCallBack
, wxIntPtr data
);
1040 This function may be overridden in the derived class for a control with
1041 @c wxLC_VIRTUAL style. It should return the attribute for the specified
1042 @c item or @NULL to use the default appearance parameters.
1044 wxListCtrl will not delete the pointer or keep a reference of it.
1045 You can return the same wxListItemAttr pointer for every OnGetItemAttr() call.
1047 The base class version always returns @NULL.

1087 control doesn't have an image list, it is not necessary to override it).
1088 It should return the index of the items image in the controls image list
1091 In a control with @c wxLC_REPORT style, OnGetItemImage() only gets called for
1092 the first column of each line.

1330 This class currently simply presents a simpler to use interface for the

1333 Using it is preferable to using wxListCtrl directly whenever possible because
1334 in the future some ports might implement wxListView but not the full set of
1335 wxListCtrl features.
1337 Other than different interface, this class is identical to wxListCtrl.

1436 This class stores information about a wxListCtrl item or column.
1438 wxListItem is a class which contains informations about:
1439 - Zero based item position; see SetId() and GetId().
1440 - Zero based column index; see SetColumn() and GetColumn().
1441 - The label (or header for columns); see SetText() and GetText().
1442 - The zero based index into an image list; see GetImage() and SetImage().
1443 - Application defined data; see SetData() and GetData().
1444 - For columns only: the width of the column; see SetWidth() and GetWidth().
1445 - For columns only: the format of the column; one of @c wxLIST_FORMAT_LEFT,
1446 @c wxLIST_FORMAT_RIGHT, @c wxLIST_FORMAT_CENTRE. See SetAlign() and GetAlign().
1447 - The state of the item; see SetState() and GetState().
1448 This is a bitlist of the following flags:
1449 - @c wxLIST_STATE_FOCUSED: The item has the focus.
1450 - @c wxLIST_STATE_SELECTED: The item is selected.
1451 - @c wxLIST_STATE_DONTCARE: Don't care what the state is. Win32 only.
1452 - @c wxLIST_STATE_DROPHILITED: The item is highlighted to receive a drop event. Win32 only.
1453 - @c wxLIST_STATE_CUT: The item is in the cut state. Win32 only.
1454 - A mask indicating which state flags are valid; this is a bitlist of the
1455 flags reported above for the item state. See SetStateMask() and GetStateMask().
1456 - A mask indicating which fields of this class are valid; see SetMask() and GetMask().
1457 This is a bitlist of the following flags:
1458 - @c wxLIST_MASK_STATE: The state field is valid.
1459 - @c wxLIST_MASK_TEXT: The label field is valid.
1460 - @c wxLIST_MASK_IMAGE: The image field is valid.

1462 - @c wxLIST_MASK_WIDTH: The column width field is valid.
1463 - @c wxLIST_MASK_FORMAT: The column format field is valid.
1465 The wxListItem object can also contain item-specific colour and font
1466 information: for this you need to call one of SetTextColour(), SetBackgroundColour()
1467 or SetFont() functions on it passing it the colour/font to use.
1468 If the colour/font is not specified, the default list control colour/font is used.
1475 class wxListItem
