## Detailed Description

A list event holds information about events associated with wxListCtrl objects.

## Events using this class

The following event handler macros redirect the events to member function handlers 'func' with prototypes like:

void handlerFuncName(wxListEvent& event)

Event macros:

- EVT_LIST_BEGIN_DRAG(id, func):
  Begin dragging with the left mouse button.
- EVT_LIST_BEGIN_RDRAG(id, func):
  Begin dragging with the right mouse button.
- EVT_LIST_BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT(id, func):
  Begin editing a label. This can be prevented by calling Veto().
- EVT_LIST_END_LABEL_EDIT(id, func):
  Finish editing a label. This can be prevented by calling Veto().
- EVT_LIST_DELETE_ITEM(id, func):
  Delete an item.
- EVT_LIST_DELETE_ALL_ITEMS(id, func):
  Delete all items.
- EVT_LIST_ITEM_SELECTED(id, func):
  The item has been selected.
- EVT_LIST_ITEM_DESELECTED(id, func):
  The item has been deselected.
- EVT_LIST_ITEM_ACTIVATED(id, func):
  The item has been activated (ENTER or double click).
- EVT_LIST_ITEM_FOCUSED(id, func):
  The currently focused item has changed.
- EVT_LIST_ITEM_MIDDLE_CLICK(id, func):
  The middle mouse button has been clicked on an item.
- EVT_LIST_ITEM_RIGHT_CLICK(id, func):
  The right mouse button has been clicked on an item.
- EVT_LIST_KEY_DOWN(id, func):
  A key has been pressed. GetIndex() may be -1 if no item is selected.
- EVT_LIST_INSERT_ITEM(id, func):
  An item has been inserted.
- EVT_LIST_COL_CLICK(id, func):
  A column (m_col) has been left-clicked.
- EVT_LIST_COL_RIGHT_CLICK(id, func):
  A column (m_col) (which can be -1 if the click occurred outside any column) has been right-clicked.
- EVT_LIST_COL_BEGIN_DRAG(id, func):
  The user started resizing a column - can be vetoed.
- EVT_LIST_COL_DRAGGING(id, func):
  The divider between columns is being dragged.

## Public Member Functions

| wxListEvent (wxEventType commandType=wxEVT_NULL, int id=0)
| Constructor.
long | GetCacheFrom () const
| For `EVT_LIST_CACHE_HINT` event only: return the first item which the list control advises us to cache.
long | GetCacheTo () const
| For `EVT_LIST_CACHE_HINT` event only: return the last item (inclusive) which the list control advises us to cache.
int | GetColumn () const
| The column position: it is only used with `COL` events.
wxUIntPtr | GetData () const
| The data.
int | GetImage () const
| The image.
long | GetIndex () const
| The item index.
const wxListItem & | GetItem () const
| An item object, used by some events.
int | GetKeyCode () const
| Key code if the event is a keypress event.
const wxString & | GetLabel () const
| The (new) item label for `EVT_LIST_END_LABEL_EDIT` event.
long | GetMask () const
| The mask.
wxPoint | GetPoint () const
| The position of the mouse pointer if the event is a drag event.
const wxString & | GetText () const
| The text.
bool | IsEditCancelled () const
| This method only makes sense for `EVT_LIST_END_LABEL_EDIT` message and returns true if it the label editing has been cancelled by the user (GetLabel() returns an empty string in this case but it doesn't allow the application to distinguish between really cancelling the edit and the admittedly rare case when the user wants to rename it to an empty string).
Public Member Functions inherited from wxNotifyEvent
| wxNotifyEvent (wxEventType eventType=wxEVT_NULL, int id=0)
| Constructor (used internally by wxWidgets only).
void | Allow ()
| This is the opposite of Veto(): it explicitly allows the event to be processed.
bool | IsAllowed () const
| Returns true if the change is allowed (Veto() hasn't been called) or false otherwise (if it was).
void | Veto ()
| Prevents the change announced by this event from happening.
Public Member Functions inherited from wxCommandEvent
| wxCommandEvent (wxEventType commandEventType=wxEVT_NULL, int id=0)
| Constructor.
void * | GetClientData () const

wxClientData * | GetClientObject () const
| Returns client object pointer for a listbox or choice selection event (not valid for a deselection).
long | GetExtraLong () const
| Returns extra information dependent on the event objects type.
int | GetInt () const
| Returns the integer identifier corresponding to a listbox, choice or radiobox selection (only if the event was a selection, not a deselection), or a boolean value representing the value of a checkbox.
int | GetSelection () const
| Returns item index for a listbox or choice selection event (not valid for a deselection).
wxString | GetString () const
| Returns item string for a listbox or choice selection event.
bool | IsChecked () const
| This method can be used with checkbox and menu events: for the checkboxes, the method returns true for a selection event and false for a deselection one.
bool | IsSelection () const
| For a listbox or similar event, returns true if it is a selection, false if it is a deselection.
void | SetClientData (void *clientData)
| Sets the client data for this event.
void | SetClientObject (wxClientData *clientObject)
| Sets the client object for this event.
void | SetExtraLong (long extraLong)

void | SetString (const wxString &string)
| Sets the m_commandString member.
