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.
+ It is used as part of wxGrid, in generic version 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:
Notice that this control itself doesn't do anything other than displaying
the column headers. In particular column reordering and sorting must still
be supported by the associated control displaying the real data under the
- header.
+ header. Also remember to call ScrollWindow() method of the control if the
+ associated data display window has a horizontal scrollbar, otherwise the
+ headers wouldn't align with the data when the window is scrolled.
This control is implemented using the native header control under MSW
systems and a generic implementation elsewhere.
+
+ @section headerctrl_improvements Future Improvements
+
+ Some features are supported by the native MSW control and so could be
+ easily implemented in this version of wxHeaderCtrl but need to be
+ implemented in the generic version as well to be really useful. Please let
+ us know if you need or, better, plan to work on implementing, any of them:
+ - Displaying bitmaps instead of or together with the text
+ - Custom drawn headers
+ - Filters associated with a column.

@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 (or dragging cancelled) 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)}
+ The user stopped dragging the column by releasing the mouse.
+ The column should normally be resized to the value of
+ wxHeaderCtrlEvent::GetWidth().
+ @event{EVT_HEADER_BEGIN_REORDER(id, func)}
+ The user started to drag the column with the specified index (this
+ can only happen for the controls with wxHD_ALLOW_REORDER style).
+ This event can be vetoed to prevent the column from being reordered,
+ otherwise the end reorder message will be generated later.
+ @event{EVT_HEADER_END_REORDER(id, func)}
+ The user dropped the column in its new location. The event can be
+ vetoed to prevent the column from being placed at the new position
+ or handled to update the display of the data in the associated
+ control to match the new column location (available from
+ wxHeaderCtrlEvent::GetNewOrder()).
+ @event{EVT_HEADER_DRAGGING_CANCELLED(id, func)}
+ The resizing or reordering operation currently in progress was
+ cancelled. This can happen if the user pressed Esc key while
+ dragging the mouse or the mouse capture was lost for some other
+ reason. You only need to handle this event if your application
+ entered into some modal mode when resizing or reordering began, in
+ which case it should handle this event in addition to the matching
+ end resizing or reordering ones.
