In any case, elements are numbered from zero. For all these modes, the items are stored in the control and must be added to it using \helpref{InsertItem}{wxlistctrlinsertitem} method. A special case of report view quite different from the other modes of the list control is a virtual control in which the items data (including text, images and attributes) is managed by the main program and is requested by the control itself only when needed which allows to have controls with millions of items without consuming much memory. To use virtual list control you must use \helpref{SetItemCount}{wxlistctrlsetitemcount} first and overload at least \helpref{OnGetItemText}{wxlistctrlongetitemtext} (and optionally \helpref{OnGetItemImage}{wxlistctrlongetitemimage} or \helpref{OnGetItemColumnImage}{wxlistctrlongetitemcolumnimage} and \helpref{OnGetItemAttr}{wxlistctrlongetitemattr}) to return the information about the items when the control requests it. Virtual list control can be used as a normal one except that no operations which can take time proportional to the number of items in the control happen -- this is required to allow having a practically infinite number of items. For example, in a multiple selection virtual list control, the selections won't be sent when many items are selected at once because this could mean iterating over all the items. Using many of wxListCtrl features is shown in the \helpref{corresponding sample}{samplelistctrl}. To intercept events from a list control, use the event table macros described in \helpref{wxListEvent}{wxlistevent}. {\bf Mac Note:} Starting with 2.8, wxListCtrl uses a native implementation for report mode, and uses a generic implementation for other modes. You can use the generic implementation for report mode as well by setting the mac.listctrl.always\_use\_generic \helpref{wxSystemOption}{wxsystemoptions} to 1. \wxheading{Derived from} \helpref{wxControl}{wxcontrol}\\ \helpref{wxWindow}{wxwindow}\\ \helpref{wxEvtHandler}{wxevthandler}\\ \helpref{wxObject}{wxobject} \wxheading{Include files} \wxheading{Window styles} \twocolwidtha{7cm} \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxLC\_LIST}}{Multicolumn list view, with optional small icons.

For a list of state flags, see \helpref{wxListCtrl::SetItem}{wxlistctrlsetitem}. The {\bf stateMask} indicates which state flags are of interest. \membersection{wxListCtrl::GetItemText}\label{wxlistctrlgetitemtext} \constfunc{wxString}{GetItemText}{\param{long }{item}} Gets the item text for this item. \membersection{wxListCtrl::GetItemTextColour}\label{wxlistctrlgetitemtextcolour} \constfunc{wxColour}{GetItemTextColour}{\param{long }{item}} Returns the colour for this item. If the item has no specific colour, returns an invalid colour (and not the default foreground control of the control itself as this wouldn't allow distinguishing between items having the same colour as the current control foreground and items with default colour which, hence, have always the same colour as the control). \membersection{wxListCtrl::GetNextItem}\label{wxlistctrlgetnextitem} \constfunc{long}{GetNextItem}{\param{long }{item}, \param{int }{geometry = wxLIST\_NEXT\_ALL}, \param{int }{state = wxLIST\_STATE\_DONTCARE}} Searches for an item with the given geometry or state, starting from {\it item} but excluding the {\it item} itself. If {\it item} is -1, the first item that matches the specified flags will be returned. Returns the first item with given state following {\it item} or -1 if no such item found. This function may be used to find all selected items in the control like this: \begin{verbatim} long item = -1; for ( ;; ) { item = listctrl->GetNextItem(item, wxLIST_NEXT_ALL, wxLIST_STATE_SELECTED); if ( item == -1 ) break; // this item is selected - do whatever is needed with it wxLogMessage("Item %ld is selected.", item); } \end{verbatim} {\it geometry} can be one of: \twocolwidtha{5cm} \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt \twocolitem{wxLIST\_NEXT\_ABOVE}{Searches for an item above the specified item.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_NEXT\_ALL}{Searches for subsequent item by index.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_NEXT\_BELOW}{Searches for an item below the specified item.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_NEXT\_LEFT}{Searches for an item to the left of the specified item.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_NEXT\_RIGHT}{Searches for an item to the right of the specified item.} \end{twocollist} {\bf NB:} this parameter is only supported by wxMSW currently and ignored on other platforms. {\it state} can be a bitlist of the following: \twocolwidtha{5cm} \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt \twocolitem{wxLIST\_STATE\_DONTCARE}{Don't care what the state is.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_STATE\_DROPHILITED}{The item indicates it is a drop target.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_STATE\_FOCUSED}{The item has the focus.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_STATE\_SELECTED}{The item is selected.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_STATE\_CUT}{The item is selected as part of a cut and paste operation.} \end{twocollist} \membersection{wxListCtrl::GetSelectedItemCount}\label{wxlistctrlgetselecteditemcount} \constfunc{int}{GetSelectedItemCount}{\void} Returns the number of selected items in the list control. \membersection{wxListCtrl::GetTextColour}\label{wxlistctrlgettextcolour} \constfunc{wxColour}{GetTextColour}{\void} Gets the text colour of the list control. \membersection{wxListCtrl::GetTopItem}\label{wxlistctrlgettopitem} \constfunc{long}{GetTopItem}{\void} Gets the index of the topmost visible item when in list or report view. \membersection{wxListCtrl::GetViewRect}\label{wxlistctrlgetviewrect} \constfunc{wxRect}{GetViewRect}{\void} Returns the rectangle taken by all items in the control. In other words, if the controls client size were equal to the size of this rectangle, no scrollbars would be needed and no free space would be left. Note that this function only works in the icon and small icon views, not in list or report views (this is a limitation of the native Win32 control). \membersection{wxListCtrl::HitTest}\label{wxlistctrlhittest} \constfunc{long}{HitTest}{\param{const wxPoint\& }{point}, \param{int\& }{flags}, \param{long *}{ptrSubItem}} Determines which item (if any) is at the specified point, giving details in {\it flags}. Returns index of the item or {\tt wxNOT\_FOUND} if no item is at the specified point. {\it flags} will be a combination of the following flags: \twocolwidtha{5cm} \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt \twocolitem{wxLIST\_HITTEST\_ABOVE}{Above the client area.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_HITTEST\_BELOW}{Below the client area.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_HITTEST\_NOWHERE}{In the client area but below the last item.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_HITTEST\_ONITEMICON}{On the bitmap associated with an item.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_HITTEST\_ONITEMLABEL}{On the label (string) associated with an item.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_HITTEST\_ONITEMRIGHT}{In the area to the right of an item.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_HITTEST\_ONITEMSTATEICON}{On the state icon for a tree view item that is in a user-defined state.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_HITTEST\_TOLEFT}{To the right of the client area.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_HITTEST\_TORIGHT}{To the left of the client area.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_HITTEST\_ONITEM}{Combination of wxLIST\_HITTEST\_ONITEMICON, wxLIST\_HITTEST\_ONITEMLABEL, wxLIST\_HITTEST\_ONITEMSTATEICON.} \end{twocollist} If \arg{ptrSubItem} is not \NULL and the wxListCtrl is in the report mode the subitem (or column) number will also be provided. This feature is only available in version 2.7.0 or higher and is currently only implemented under wxMSW and requires at least comctl32.dll of verion 4.70 on the host system or the value stored in \arg{ptrSubItem} will be always -1. To compile this feature into wxWidgets library you need to have access to commctrl.h of version 4.70 that is provided by Microsoft. \pythonnote{A tuple of values is returned in the wxPython version of this method.

This is only useful for the virtual list controls as without calling this function the displayed value of the item doesn't change even when the underlying data does change. \wxheading{See also} \helpref{RefreshItems}{wxlistctrlrefreshitems} \membersection{wxListCtrl::RefreshItems}\label{wxlistctrlrefreshitems} \func{void}{RefreshItems}{\param{long }{itemFrom}, \param{long }{itemTo}} Redraws the items between {\it itemFrom} and {\it itemTo}. The starting item must be less than or equal to the ending one. Just as \helpref{RefreshItem}{wxlistctrlrefreshitem} this is only useful for virtual list controls. \membersection{wxListCtrl::ScrollList}\label{wxlistctrlscrolllist} \func{bool}{ScrollList}{\param{int }{dx}, \param{int }{dy}} Scrolls the list control. If in icon, small icon or report view mode, {\it dx} specifies the number of pixels to scroll. If in list view mode, {\it dx} specifies the number of columns to scroll. {\it dy} always specifies the number of pixels to scroll vertically. {\bf NB:} This method is currently only implemented in the Windows version. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetBackgroundColour}\label{wxlistctrlsetbackgroundcolour} \func{void}{SetBackgroundColour}{\param{const wxColour\& }{col}} Sets the background colour (GetBackgroundColour already implicit in wxWindow class). \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetColumn}\label{wxlistctrlsetcolumn} \func{bool}{SetColumn}{\param{int }{col}, \param{wxListItem\& }{item}} Sets information about this column. See \helpref{wxListCtrl::SetItem}{wxlistctrlsetitem} for more information. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetColumnWidth}\label{wxlistctrlsetcolumnwidth} \func{bool}{SetColumnWidth}{\param{int }{col}, \param{int }{width}} Sets the column width. {\it width} can be a width in pixels or wxLIST\_AUTOSIZE (-1) or wxLIST\_AUTOSIZE\_USEHEADER (-2). wxLIST\_AUTOSIZE will resize the column to the length of its longest item. wxLIST\_AUTOSIZE\_USEHEADER will resize the column to the length of the header (Win32) or 80 pixels (other platforms). In small or normal icon view, {\it col} must be -1, and the column width is set for all columns. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetImageList}\label{wxlistctrlsetimagelist} \func{void}{SetImageList}{\param{wxImageList*}{ imageList}, \param{int }{which}} Sets the image list associated with the control. {\it which} is one of wxIMAGE\_LIST\_NORMAL, wxIMAGE\_LIST\_SMALL, wxIMAGE\_LIST\_STATE (the last is unimplemented). This method does not take ownership of the image list, you have to delete it yourself. \wxheading{See also} \helpref{wxListCtrl::AssignImageList}{wxlistctrlassignimagelist} \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetItem}\label{wxlistctrlsetitem} \func{bool}{SetItem}{\param{wxListItem\& }{info}} \func{long}{SetItem}{\param{long }{index}, \param{int }{col}, \param{const }{wxString\& label}, \param{int }{imageId = -1}} Sets information about the item. wxListItem is a class with the following members: \twocolwidtha{5cm} \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt \twocolitem{long m\_mask}{Indicates which fields are valid. See the list of valid mask flags below.} \twocolitem{long m\_itemId}{The zero-based item position.} \twocolitem{int m\_col}{Zero-based column, if in report mode.} \twocolitem{long m\_state}{The state of the item. See the list of valid state flags below.} \twocolitem{long m\_stateMask}{A mask indicating which state flags are valid. See the list of valid state flags below.} \twocolitem{wxString m\_text}{The label/header text.} \twocolitem{int m\_image}{The zero-based index into an image list.} \twocolitem{long m\_data}{Application-defined data.} \twocolitem{int m\_format}{For columns only: the format. Can be wxLIST\_FORMAT\_LEFT, wxLIST\_FORMAT\_RIGHT or wxLIST\_FORMAT\_CENTRE.} \twocolitem{int m\_width}{For columns only: the column width.} \end{twocollist} The {\bf m\_mask} member contains a bitlist specifying which of the other fields are valid. The flags are: \twocolwidtha{5cm} \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt \twocolitem{wxLIST\_MASK\_STATE}{The {\bf m\_state} field is valid.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_MASK\_TEXT}{The {\bf m\_text} field is valid.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_MASK\_IMAGE}{The {\bf m\_image} field is valid.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_MASK\_DATA}{The {\bf m\_data} field is valid.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_MASK\_WIDTH}{The {\bf m\_width} field is valid.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_MASK\_FORMAT}{The {\bf m\_format} field is valid.} \end{twocollist} The {\bf m\_stateMask} and {\bf m\_state} members take flags from the following: \twocolwidtha{5cm} \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt \twocolitem{wxLIST\_STATE\_DONTCARE}{Don't care what the state is. Win32 only. } \twocolitem{wxLIST\_STATE\_DROPHILITED}{The item is highlighted to receive a drop event. Win32 only. } \twocolitem{wxLIST\_STATE\_FOCUSED}{The item has the focus.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_STATE\_SELECTED}{The item is selected.} \twocolitem{wxLIST\_STATE\_CUT}{The item is in the cut state. Win32 only. } \end{twocollist} The wxListItem object can also contain item-specific colour and font information: for this you need to call one of SetTextColour(), SetBackgroundColour() or SetFont() functions on it passing it the colour/font to use. If the colour/font is not specified, the default list control colour/font is used. \func{long}{SetItem}{\param{long }{index}, \param{int }{col}, \param{const wxString\& }{label}, \param{int }{imageId = -1}} Sets a string field at a particular column. \pythonnote{In place of a single overloaded method name, wxPython implements the following methods:\par \indented{2cm}{\begin{twocollist} \twocolitem{{\bf SetItem(item)}}{Sets information about the given wxListItem.} \twocolitem{{\bf SetStringItem(index, col, label, imageId)}}{Sets a string or image at a given location.} \end{twocollist}} } \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetItemBackgroundColour}\label{wxlistctrlsetitembackgroundcolour} \func{void}{SetItemBackgroundColour}{\param{long }{item}, \param{const wxColour\& }{col}} Sets the background colour for this item. This function only works in report view. The colour can be retrieved using \helpref{GetItemBackgroundColour}{wxlistctrlgetitembackgroundcolour}. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetItemCount}\label{wxlistctrlsetitemcount} \func{void}{SetItemCount}{\param{long }{count}} This method can only be used with virtual list controls. It is used to indicate to the control the number of items it contains. After calling it, the main program should be ready to handle calls to various item callbacks (such as \helpref{OnGetItemText}{wxlistctrlongetitemtext}) for all items in the range from $0$ to {\it count}. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetItemData}\label{wxlistctrlsetitemdata} \func{bool}{SetItemData}{\param{long }{item}, \param{long }{data}} Associates application-defined data with this item. Notice that this function cannot be used to associate pointers with the control items, use \helpref{SetItemPtrData}{wxlistctrlsetitemptrdata} instead. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetItemFont}\label{wxlistctrlsetitemfont} \func{void}{SetItemFont}{\param{long }{item}, \param{const wxFont\& }{font}} Sets the item's font. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetItemImage}\label{wxlistctrlsetitemimage} \func{bool}{SetItemImage}{\param{long }{item}, \param{int }{image}} Sets the image associated with the item. The image is an index into the image list associated with the list control. In report view, this only sets the image for the first column. \func{bool}{SetItemImage}{\param{long }{item}, \param{int }{image}, \param{int }{selImage}} Sets the unselected and selected images associated with the item. The images are indices into the image list associated with the list control. This form is deprecated: {\it selImage} is not used. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetItemColumnImage}\label{wxlistctrlsetitemcolumnimage} \func{bool}{SetItemImage}{\param{long }{item}, \param{long }{column}\param{int }{image}} Sets the image associated with the item. In report view, you can specify the column. The image is an index into the image list associated with the list control. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetItemPosition}\label{wxlistctrlsetitemposition} \func{bool}{SetItemPosition}{\param{long }{item}, \param{const wxPoint\& }{pos}} Sets the position of the item, in icon or small icon view. Windows only. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetItemPtrData}\label{wxlistctrlsetitemptrdata} \func{bool}{SetItemPtrData}{\param{long }{item}, \param{wxUIntPtr }{data}} Associates application-defined data with this item. The \arg{data} parameter may be either an integer or a pointer cast to the \texttt{wxUIntPtr} type which is guaranteed to be large enough to be able to contain all integer types and pointers. \newsince{2.8.4} \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetItemState}\label{wxlistctrlsetitemstate} \func{bool}{SetItemState}{\param{long }{item}, \param{long }{state}, \param{long }{stateMask}} Sets the item state. For a list of state flags, see \helpref{wxListCtrl::SetItem}{wxlistctrlsetitem}. The {\bf stateMask} indicates which state flags are valid. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetItemText}\label{wxlistctrlsetitemtext} \func{void}{SetItemText}{\param{long }{item}, \param{const wxString\& }{text}} Sets the item text for this item. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetItemTextColour}\label{wxlistctrlsetitemtextcolour} \func{void}{SetItemTextColour}{\param{long }{item}, \param{const wxColour\& }{col}} Sets the colour for this item. This function only works in report view. The colour can be retrieved using \helpref{GetItemTextColour}{wxlistctrlgetitemtextcolour}. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetSingleStyle}\label{wxlistctrlsetsinglestyle} \func{void}{SetSingleStyle}{\param{long }{style}, \param{bool }{add = true}} Adds or removes a single window style. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetTextColour}\label{wxlistctrlsettextcolour} \func{void}{SetTextColour}{\param{const wxColour\& }{col}} Sets the text colour of the list control. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SetWindowStyleFlag}\label{wxlistctrlsetwindowstyleflag} \func{void}{SetWindowStyleFlag}{\param{long }{style}} Sets the whole window style, deleting all items. \membersection{wxListCtrl::SortItems}\label{wxlistctrlsortitems} \func{bool}{SortItems}{\param{wxListCtrlCompare }{fnSortCallBack}, \param{long }{data}} Call this function to sort the items in the list control. Sorting is done using the specified {\it fnSortCallBack} function. This function must have the following prototype: \begin{verbatim} int wxCALLBACK wxListCompareFunction(long item1, long item2, long sortData) \end{verbatim} It is called each time when the two items must be compared and should return 0 if the items are equal, negative value if the first item is less than the second one and positive value if the first one is greater than the second one (the same convention as used by {\tt qsort(3)}). \wxheading{Parameters} \docparam{item1}{client data associated with the first item ({\bf NOT} the index).} \docparam{item2}{client data associated with the second item ({\bf NOT} the index).} \docparam{data}{the value passed to SortItems() itself.} Notice that the control may only be sorted on client data associated with the items, so you {\bf must} use \helpref{SetItemData}{wxlistctrlsetitemdata} if you want to be able to sort the items in the control. Please see the \helpref{listctrl sample}{samplelistctrl} for an example of using this function. \pythonnote{wxPython uses the sortData parameter to pass the Python function to call, so it is not available for programmer use. Call SortItems with a reference to a callable object that expects two parameters.} \perlnote{In wxPerl the comparison function must take just two parameters; however, you may use a closure to achieve an effect similar to the SortItems third parameter.}
