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_DRAG(id, func)}
- The user started to drag the column with the specified index (this
- can only happen if wxHeaderColumn::IsResizeable() returned true for
- this column). The event can be vetoed to prevent the control from
- being resized, if it isn't, the dragging and end drag events will
- be generated later.
- @event{EVT_HEADER_DRAGGING(id, func)}
- The user is dragging the column with the specified index 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_DRAG(id, func)}
- The user stopped dragging the column. If
- wxHeaderCtrlEvent::IsCancelled() returns @true, nothing should
- be done, otherwise the column should normally be resized to the
- value of wxHeaderCtrlEvent::GetWidth().
