data model. In detail, you need to override
\helpref{IsContainer}{wxdataviewmodeliscontainer},
\helpref{GetParent}{wxdataviewmodelgetparent},
+\helpref{GetChildren}{wxdataviewmodelgetchildren},
\helpref{GetColumnCount}{wxdataviewmodelgetcolumncount},
\helpref{GetColumnType}{wxdataviewmodelgetcolumntype} and
\helpref{GetValue}{wxdataviewmodelgetvalue} in order to
your actual data and the wxDataViewCtrl. Since you will
usually also allow the wxDataViewCtrl to change your data
through its graphical interface, you will also have to override
-\helpref{SetValue}{wxdataviewlistmodelsetvalue} which the
+\helpref{SetValue}{wxdataviewmodelsetvalue} which the
wxDataViewCtrl will call when a change to some data has been
commited.

display the data differently, but wxDataViewModel does
provide a \helpref{Compare}{wxdataviewmodelcompare} method
-which the wxDataViewCtrl may use to sort the data.
+which the wxDataViewCtrl may use to sort the data either
+in conjunction with a column header or without (see
+\helpref{HasDefaultCompare}{wxdataviewmodelhasdefaultcompare}.
This class maintains a list of

to the model.
\membersection{wxDataViewModel::Cleared}\label{wxdataviewmodelcleared}
-\func{bool}{Cleared}{\void}
+\func{virtual bool}{Cleared}{\void}
Called to inform the model that all data has been deleted.
\membersection{wxDataViewModel::Compare}\label{wxdataviewmodelcompare}
-\func{int}{Compare}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item1}, \param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item2}, \param{unsigned int }{column}, \param{bool }{ascending}}
+\func{virtual int}{Compare}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item1}, \param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item2}, \param{unsigned int }{column}, \param{bool }{ascending}}
The compare function to be used by control. The default compare function
sorts by container and other items separately and in ascending order.
Override this for a different sorting behaviour.
+See also \helpref{HasDefaultCompare}{wxdataviewmodelhasdefaultcompare}.
+
\membersection{wxDataViewModel::GetColumnCount}\label{wxdataviewmodelgetcolumncount}
-\constfunc{unsigned int}{GetColumnCount}{\void}
+\constfunc{virtual unsigned int}{GetColumnCount}{\void}
Override this to indicate the number of columns in the model.
\membersection{wxDataViewModel::GetColumnType}\label{wxdataviewmodelgetcolumntype}
-\constfunc{wxString}{GetColumnType}{\param{unsigned int }{col}}
+\constfunc{virtual wxString}{GetColumnType}{\param{unsigned int }{col}}
Override this to indicate what type of data is stored in the
column specified by {\it col}. This should return a string
indicating the type of data as reported by \helpref{wxVariant}{wxvariant}.
-\membersection{wxDataViewModel::GetFirstChild}\label{wxdataviewmodelgetfirstchild}
-
-\constfunc{wxDataViewItem}{GetFirstChild}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{parent}}
-
-To be removed.
-
-\membersection{wxDataViewModel::GetNextSibling}\label{wxdataviewmodelgetnextsibling}
+\membersection{wxDataViewModel::GetChildren}\label{wxdataviewmodelgetchildren}
-\constfunc{wxDataViewItem}{GetNextSibling}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}}
+\constfunc{virtual unsigned int}{GetChildren}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}, \param{wxDataViewItemArray\& }{children} }
-To be removed.
+Override this so the control can query the child items of
+an item. Returns the number of items.
\membersection{wxDataViewModel::GetParent}\label{wxdataviewmodelgetparent}
-\constfunc{wxDataViewItem}{GetParent}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}}
+\constfunc{virtual wxDataViewItem}{GetParent}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}}
Override this to indicate which wxDataViewItem representing the parent
of {\it item} or an invalid wxDataViewItem if {\it item} is the root item.
\membersection{wxDataViewModel::GetValue}\label{wxdataviewmodelgetvalue}
-\constfunc{void}{GetValue}{\param{wxVariant\& }{variant}, \param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}, \param{unsigned int }{col}}
+\constfunc{virtual void}{GetValue}{\param{wxVariant\& }{variant}, \param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}, \param{unsigned int }{col}}
Override this to indicate the value of {\it item}
A \helpref{wxVariant}{wxvariant} is used to store the data.
+\membersection{wxDataViewModel::HasDefaultCompare}\label{wxdataviewmodelhasdefaultcompare}
+
+\constfunc{virtual bool}{HasDefaultCompare}{\void}
+
+Override this to indicate that the model provides a default compare
+function that the control should use if no wxDataViewColumn has been
+chosen for sorting. Usually, the user clicks on a column header for
+sorting, the data will be sorted alphanumerically. If any other
+order (e.g. by index or order of appearance) is required, then this
+should be used. See also \helpref{wxDataViewIndexListModel}{wxdataviewindexlistmodel}
+for a model which makes use of this.

\membersection{wxDataViewModel::IsContainer}\label{wxdataviewmodeliscontainer}
-\constfunc{bool}{IsContainer}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}}
+\constfunc{virtual bool}{IsContainer}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}}
Override this to indicate of {\it item} is a container, i.e. if
it can have child items.
\membersection{wxDataViewModel::ItemAdded}\label{wxdataviewmodelitemadded}
-\func{bool}{ItemAdded}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{parent}, \param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}}
+\func{virtual bool}{ItemAdded}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{parent}, \param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}}
Call this to inform the model that an item has been added
to the data.
\membersection{wxDataViewModel::ItemChanged}\label{wxdataviewmodelitemchanged}
-\func{bool}{ItemChanged}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}}
+\func{virtual bool}{ItemChanged}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}}
Call this to inform the model that an item has changed.
\membersection{wxDataViewModel::ItemDeleted}\label{wxdataviewmodelitemdeleted}
-\func{bool}{ItemDeleted}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{parent}, \param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}}
+\func{virtual bool}{ItemDeleted}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{parent}, \param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}}
Call this to inform the model that an item has been deleted.
\membersection{wxDataViewModel::Resort}\label{wxdataviewmodelresort}
-\func{void}{Resort}{\void}
+\func{virtual void}{Resort}{\void}
Call this to initiate a resort after the sort function has
been changed.
\membersection{wxDataViewModel::SetValue}\label{wxdataviewmodelsetvalue}
-\func{bool}{SetValue}{\param{const wxVariant\& }{variant}, \param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}, \param{unsigned int }{col}}
+\func{virtual bool}{SetValue}{\param{const wxVariant\& }{variant}, \param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}, \param{unsigned int }{col}}
This gets called in order to set a value in the data model.
The most common scenario is that the wxDataViewCtrl calls
\membersection{wxDataViewModel::ValueChanged}\label{wxdataviewmodelvaluechanged}
-\func{bool}{ValueChanged}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}, \param{unsigned int }{col}}
+\func{virtual bool}{ValueChanged}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}, \param{unsigned int }{col}}
Call this to inform this model that a value in
the model has been changed.
