Vadim Zeitlin 9add303f76 Move wxEllipsize{Flags,Mode} to wx/gdicmn.h
This will allow using these constants from other headers without having to
include wx/control.h.

@class wxControl
This is the base class for a control or "widget".
A control is generally a small window which processes user input and/or
displays one or more item of data.
@beginEventEmissionTable{wxClipboardTextEvent}
@event{EVT_TEXT_COPY(id, func)}
Some or all of the controls content was copied to the clipboard.
@event{EVT_TEXT_CUT(id, func)}
Some or all of the controls content was cut (i.e. copied and
deleted).
@event{EVT_TEXT_PASTE(id, func)}
Clipboard content was pasted into the control.

Control identifier. If wxID_ANY, will automatically create an identifier.

Control position. wxDefaultPosition indicates that wxWidgets

Control size. wxDefaultSize indicates that wxWidgets should generate
a default size for the window. If no suitable size can be found, the
window will be sized to 20x20 pixels so that the window is visible but
obviously not correctly sized.

Determine the size needed by the control to leave the given area for
its text.
This function is mostly useful with control displaying short amounts of
text that can be edited by the user, e.g. wxTextCtrl, wxComboBox,
wxSearchCtrl etc. Typically it is used to size these controls for the
maximal amount of input they are supposed to contain, for example:
@code
// Create a control for post code entry.
wxTextCtrl* postcode = new wxTextCtrl(this, ...);
// And set its initial and minimal size to be big enough for
// entering 5 digits.
postcode->SetInitialSize(
postcode->GetSizeFromTextSize(
postcode->GetTextExtent("99999")));
@endcode
Currently this method is only implemented for wxTextCtrl, wxComboBox
and wxChoice in wxMSW and wxGTK.
@param xlen The horizontal extent of the area to leave for text, in
pixels.
@param ylen The vertical extent of the area to leave for text, in
pixels. By default -1 meaning that the vertical component of the
returned size should be the default height of this control.
@return The size that the control should have to leave the area of the
specified size for its text. May return wxDefaultSize if this
method is not implemented for this particular control under the
current platform.

to double it, i.e. use "&&". If this behaviour is undesirable, use
SetLabelText() instead.

/**
Sets the controls label to a string using markup.
Simple markup supported by this function can be used to apply different
fonts or colours to different parts of the control label when supported.
If markup is not supported by the control or platform, it is simply
stripped and SetLabel() is used with the resulting string.
For example,
@code
wxStaticText *text;
...
text->SetLabelMarkup("<b>&amp;Bed</b> &amp;mp; "
"<span foreground='red'>breakfast</span> "
"available <big>HERE</big>");
@endcode
would show the string using bold, red and big for the corresponding
words under wxGTK but will simply show the string "Bed &amp; breakfast
available HERE" on the other platforms. In any case, the "B" of "Bed"
will be underlined to indicate that it can be used as a mnemonic for
this control.

This markup language is a strict subset of Pango markup (described at
http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/unstable/PangoMarkupFormat.html)
and any tags and span attributes not documented above can't be used
under non-GTK platforms.
Also note that you need to escape the following special characters:
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD><b>Special character</b></TD>
<TD><b>Escape as</b></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>@c &amp;</TD>
<TD>@c &amp;amp; or as @c &amp;&amp;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>@c &apos;</TD>
<TD>@c &amp;apos;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>@c &quot;</TD>
<TD>@c &amp;quot;</TD>
</TR>

<TD>@c &amp;lt;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>@c &gt;</TD>
<TD>@c &amp;gt;</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
The non-escaped ampersand @c &amp; characters are interpreted as
mnemonics as with wxControl::SetLabel.
@param markup
String containing markup for the label. It may contain markup tags
described above and newline characters but currently only wxGTK and
wxOSX support multiline labels with markup, the generic
implementation (also used in wxMSW) only handles single line markup
labels. Notice that the string must be well-formed (e.g. all tags
must be correctly closed) and won't be shown at all otherwise.
@return
@true if the new label was set (even if markup in it was ignored)
or @false if we failed to parse the markup. In this case the label
remains unchanged.
Currently wxButton supports markup in all major ports (wxMSW, wxGTK and
wxOSX/Cocoa) while wxStaticText supports it in wxGTK and wxOSX and its
generic version (which can be used under MSW if markup support is
required). Extending support to more controls is planned in the future.

This function can be helpful if you need to set the controls label to a
user-provided string. If the string contains ampersands, they wouldn't
appear on the display but be used instead to indicate that the
character following the first of them can be used as a control mnemonic.
While this can sometimes be desirable (e.g. to allow the user to
configure mnemonics of the controls), more often you will want to use
this function before passing a user-defined string to SetLabel().
Alternatively, if the label is entirely user-defined, you can just call
SetLabelText() directly -- but this function must be used if the label
is a combination of a part defined by program containing the control
mnemonics and a user-defined part.
