\section{\class{wxDataViewCtrl}}\label{wxdataviewctrl}
-This class and its documentation are work in progress and
-certainly subject to change.
+wxDataViewCtrl is a control to display data either
+in a tree like fashion or in a tabular form or both.
+If you only need to display a simple tree structure
+with an API more like the older wxTreeCtrl class,
+then the specialized \helpref{wxDataViewTreeCtrl}{wxdataviewtreectrl}
+can be used.
+
+A \helpref{wxDataViewItem}{wxdataviewitem} is used
+to represent a (visible) item in the control.
-wxDataViewCtrl is planned to be a control to display data either
-in a tree like fashion or in a tabular form or both. Currently,
-only the tabular form is implemented. wxDataViewCtrl doesn't
-get its data from the user through virtual functions or events,
-instead you need to write your own
-\helpref{wxDataViewListModel}{wxdataviewlistmodel} and associate
+Unlike \helpref{wxListCtrl}{wxlistctrl} wxDataViewCtrl doesn't
+get its data from the user through virtual functions or by
+setting it directly. Instead you need to write your own
+\helpref{wxDataViewModel}{wxdataviewmodel} and associate
it with this control. Then you need to add a number of
\helpref{wxDataViewColumn}{wxdataviewcolumn} to this control to
define what each column shall display. Each wxDataViewColumn
Accordingly, all type information uses the strings returned
from \helpref{wxVariant::GetType}{wxvariantgettype}.
-So far, this control has only be implemented for GTK+ and
-there are only barely working stubs for a generic implementation.
-It is planned to implement the control natively under OS X
-and use generic code under Windows (and elsewhere).
