///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Name: list.h // Purpose: interface of wxList // Author: wxWidgets team // RCS-ID: $Id$ // Licence: wxWindows license ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /** @class wxListT @wxheader{list.h} The wxListT class provides linked list functionality. It has been rewritten to be type safe and to provide the full API of the STL std::list container and should be used like it. The exception is that wxListT actually stores pointers and therefore its iterators return pointers and not references to the actual objets in the list (see example below) and @e value_type is defined as @e T*. wxListT destroys an object after removing it only if wxList::DeleteContents has been called. wxListT is not a real template and it requires that you declare and define each wxListT class in your program. This is done with @e WX_DECLARE_LIST and @e WX_DEFINE_LIST macros (see example). We hope that we'll be able to provide a proper template class providing both the STL std::list and the old wxList API in the future. Please refer to the STL std::list documentation for further information on how to use the class. Below we documented both the supported STL and the legacy API that originated from the old wxList class and which can still be used alternatively for the the same class. Note that if you compile wxWidgets in STL mode (wxUSE_STL defined as 1) then wxListT will actually derive from std::list and just add a legacy compatibility layer for the old wxList class. @library{wxbase} @category{FIXME} @see wxArrayT(), wxVectorT() */ class wxList { public: //@{ /** Constructors. */ wxListT(); wxListT(size_t count, T* elements[]); //@} /** Destroys the list, but does not delete the objects stored in the list unless you called DeleteContents(@true ). */ ~wxListT(); /** Appends the pointer to @a object to the list. */ wxListT::compatibility_iterator Append(T* object); /** Clears the list, but does not delete the objects stored in the list unless you called DeleteContents(@true ). */ void Clear(); /** If @a destroy is @true, instructs the list to call @e delete on objects stored in the list whenever they are removed.

You should never use wxNodeBase class directly, however, because it works with untyped (@c void *) data and this is unsafe. Use wxNodeBase-derived classes which are automatically defined by WX_DECLARE_LIST and WX_DEFINE_LIST macros instead as described in wxList documentation (see example there). Also note that although there is a class called wxNode, it is defined for backwards compatibility only and usage of this class is strongly deprecated. In the documentation below, the type @c T should be thought of as a "template'' parameter: this is the type of data stored in the linked list or, in other words, the first argument of WX_DECLARE_LIST macro. Also, wxNode is written as wxNodeT even though it isn't really a template class -- but it helps to think of it as if it were. @library{wxbase} @category{FIXME} @see wxList, wxHashTable */ class wxNode { public: /** Retrieves the client data pointer associated with the node. */ T* GetData() const; /** Retrieves the next node or @NULL if this node is the last one. */ wxNodeT* GetNext() const; /** Retrieves the previous node or @NULL if this node is the first one in the list. */ wxNodeT* GetPrevious(); /** Returns the zero-based index of this node within the list.
