wxHeaderCtrl is the control containing the column headings which is usually
used for display of tabular data.
- It is used as part of wxGrid and (will be used in the near future) in
- in wxDataViewCtrl and report view of wxListCtrl but can be also used
- independently. In general this class is meant to be used as part of another
- control which already stores the column information somewhere as it can't
- be used directly: instead you need to inherit from it and implement the
- GetColumn() method to provide column information. See wxHeaderCtrlSimple
- for a concrete control class which can be used directly.

In addition to labeling the columns, the control has the following
features:
This control is implemented using the native header control under MSW
systems and a generic implementation elsewhere.
- @beginStyleTable
- @style{wxHD_DRAGDROP}
- If this style is specified (it is by default), the user can reorder
- the control columns by dragging them.
- @style{wxHD_DEFAULT_STYLE}
- Symbolic name for the default control style, currently equal to @c
- wxHD_DRAGDROP.
- @endStyleTable
-
- @beginEventTable{wxHeaderCtrlEvent}
- @event{EVT_HEADER_CLICK(id, func)}
- A column heading was clicked.
- @event{EVT_HEADER_RIGHT_CLICK(id, func)}
- A column heading was right clicked.
- @event{EVT_HEADER_MIDDLE_CLICK(id, func)}
- A column heading was clicked with the middle mouse button.
-
- @event{EVT_HEADER_DCLICK(id, func)}
- A column heading was double clicked.
- @event{EVT_HEADER_RIGHT_DCLICK(id, func)}
- A column heading was right double clicked.
- @event{EVT_HEADER_MIDDLE_DCLICK(id, func)}
- A column heading was double clicked with the middle mouse button.
-
- @event{EVT_HEADER_SEPARATOR_DCLICK(id, func)}
- Separator to the right of the specified column was double clicked
- (this action is commonly used to resize the column to fit its
- contents width and the control provides UpdateColumnWidthToFit() method
- to make implementing this easier).
-
- @event{EVT_HEADER_BEGIN_RESIZE(id, func)}
- The user started to drag the separator to the right of the column
- with the specified index (this can only happen for the columns for
- which wxHeaderColumn::IsResizeable() returns true). The event can
- be vetoed to prevent the column from being resized. If it isn't,
- the resizing and end resize events will be generated later.
- @event{EVT_HEADER_RESIZING(id, func)}
- The user is dragging the column with the specified index resizing
- it and its current width is wxHeaderCtrlEvent::GetWidth(). The
- event can be vetoed to stop the dragging operation completely at
- any time.
- @event{EVT_HEADER_END_RESIZE(id, func)}
- Either the user stopped dragging the column by releasing the mouse
- or the resizing was cancelled. If wxHeaderCtrlEvent::IsCancelled()
- returns @true, nothing should be done, otherwise the column should
- normally be resized to the value of wxHeaderCtrlEvent::GetWidth().
