XRC file is a XML file with all of its elements in the
@c http://www.wxwidgets.org/wxxrc namespace. For backward compatibility,

There are several property data types that are frequently reused by different
properties. Rather than describing their format in the documentation of
their format.
-@subsection xrc_format_type_bool Boolean
+@subsection overview_xrcformat_type_bool Boolean
Boolean values are expressed using either "1" literal (true) or "0" (false).
-@subsection xrc_format_type_float Floating-point value
+@subsection overview_xrcformat_type_float Floating-point value
Floating point values use POSIX (C locale) formatting -- decimal separator
is "." regardless of the locale.
-@subsection xrc_format_type_colour Colour
+@subsection overview_xrcformat_type_colour Colour
Colour specification can be either any string colour representation accepted
by wxColour::Set() or any wxSYS_COLOUR_XXX symbolic name accepted by
@endcode
-@subsection xrc_format_type_size Size
+@subsection overview_xrcformat_type_size Size
Sizes and positions have the form of string with two comma-separated integer
components, with optional "d" suffix. Semi-formally:
100,50d

+Similarly to @ref overview_xrcformat_type_size "sizes", dimensions are expressed
as integers with optional "d" suffix. When "d" suffix is used, the integer
preceding it is interpreted as dialog units in the parent window.
-@subsection xrc_format_type_text Text
+@subsection overview_xrcformat_type_text Text
String properties use several escape sequences that are translated according to
the following table:
it is still possible to use "&". The latter has to be encoded as "&",
though, so using "_" is more convenient.

-@subsection xrc_format_type_bitmap Bitmap
+@subsection overview_xrcformat_type_string String
+
+An unformatted string. Unlike with @ref overview_xrcformat_type_text, no escaping
+or translations are done.
+
+
+@subsection overview_xrcformat_type_url URL
+
+Any URL accepted by wxFileSystem (typically relative to XRC file's location,
+but can be absolute too). Unlike with @ref overview_xrcformat_type_text, no escaping
+or translations are done.
+
+
+@subsection overview_xrcformat_type_bitmap Bitmap
Bitmap properties contain specification of a single bitmap or icon. In the most
basic form, their text value is simply a relative filename (or another
Examples of stock bitmaps usage:
@code
<bitmap stock_id="fixed-width"/> <!-- custom app-specific art -->
-<bitmap stock_id="wxART_FILE_OPEN"/> <!-- standard art->
+<bitmap stock_id="wxART_FILE_OPEN"/> <!-- standard art -->
@endcode
Specifying the bitmap directly and using @c stock_id are mutually exclusive.
-@subsection xrc_format_type_style Style
+@subsection overview_xrcformat_type_style Style
Style properties (such as window's style or sizer flags) use syntax similar to
C++: the style value is OR-combination of individual flags. Symbolic names
@endcode
-@subsection xrc_format_type_font Font
+@subsection overview_xrcformat_type_font Font
XRC uses similar, but more flexible, abstract description of fonts to that
used by wxFont class. A font can be described either in terms of its elementary
@row3col{family, enum,
One of "roman", "script", "decorative", "swiss", "modern" or "teletype"
(default: roman).}

+@section overview_xrcformat_idranges ID Ranges
+
+Usually you won't care what value the XRCID macro returns for the ID of an
+object. Sometimes though it is convenient to have a range of IDs that are
+guaranteed to be consecutive. An example of this would be connecting a group of
+similar controls to the same event handler.
+
+The following XRC fragment 'declares' an ID range called @em foo and another
+called @em bar; each with some items.
+
+@code
+ <object class="wxButton" name="foo[start]">
+ <object class="wxButton" name="foo[end]">
+ <object class="wxButton" name="foo[2]">
+ ...
+ <object class="wxButton" name="bar[0]">
+ <object class="wxButton" name="bar[2]">
+ <object class="wxButton" name="bar[1]">
+ ...
+<ids-range name="foo" />
+<ids-range name="bar" size="30" start="10000" />
+@endcode
+
+For the range foo, no @em size or @em start parameters were given, so the size
+will be calculated from the number of range items, and IDs allocated by
+wxWindow::NewControlId (so they'll be negative). Range bar asked for a size of
+30, so this will be its minimum size: should it have more items, the range will
+automatically expand to fit them. It specified a start ID of 10000, so
+XRCID("bar[0]") will be 10000, XRCID("bar[1]") 10001 etc. Note that if you
+choose to supply a start value it must be positive, and it's your
+responsibility to avoid clashes.
+
+For every ID range, the first item can be referenced either as
+<em>rangename</em>[0] or <em>rangename</em>[start]. Similarly
+<em>rangename</em>[end] is the last item. Using [start] and [end] is more
+descriptive in e.g. a Bind() event range or a @em for loop, and they don't have
+to be altered whenever the number of items changes.
+
+Whether a range has positive or negative IDs, [start] is always a smaller
+number than [end]; so code like this works as expected:
+
+@code
+for (int n=XRCID("foo[start]"); n <= XRCID("foo[end]"); ++n)
+ ...
+@endcode
+
+ID ranges can be seen in action in the <em>objref</em> dialog section of the
+@sample{xrc}.
+
+@note
+@li All the items in an ID range must be contained in the same XRC file.
+@li You can't use an ID range in a situation where static initialisation
+occurs; in particular, they won't work as expected in an event table. This is
+because the event table's IDs are set to their integer values before the XRC
+file is loaded, and aren't subsequently altered when the XRCID value changes.
