@class wxSearchCtrl
- @wxheader{srchctrl.h}
A search control is a composite control with a search button, a text
control, and a cancel button.
@beginStyleTable
@style{wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER}
- The control will generate the event wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_ENTER
+ The control will generate the event @c wxEVT_TEXT_ENTER
(otherwise pressing Enter key is either processed internally by the
control or used for navigation between dialog controls).
@style{wxTE_PROCESS_TAB}
- The control will receive wxEVT_CHAR events for TAB pressed -
+ The control will receive @c wxEVT_CHAR events for TAB pressed -
normally, TAB is used for passing to the next control in a dialog
instead. For the control created with this style, you can still use
Ctrl-Enter to pass to the next control from the keyboard.

@endStyleTable
+ @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
+ To retrieve actual search queries, use EVT_TEXT and EVT_TEXT_ENTER events,
+ just as you would with wxTextCtrl.
+ @event{EVT_SEARCHCTRL_SEARCH_BTN(id, func)}
+ Respond to a @c wxEVT_SEARCHCTRL_SEARCH_BTN event, generated when the
+ search button is clicked. Note that this does not initiate a search on
+ its own, you need to perform the appropriate action in your event
+ handler. You may use @code event.GetString() @endcode to retrieve the
+ string to search for in the event handler code.
+ @event{EVT_SEARCHCTRL_CANCEL_BTN(id, func)}
+ Respond to a @c wxEVT_SEARCHCTRL_CANCEL_BTN event, generated when the
+ cancel button is clicked.
