NAME
       wxControlWithItems - Functions for wxControlWithItems class

DESCRIPTION
       This  is convenience class that derives from both wxControl and wxItem-
       Container (not implemented in wx). It is used as basis for some  wxWid-
       gets controls (wxChoice and wxListBox).

       See:  wxItemContainer (not implemented in wx), wxItemContainerImmutable
       (not implemented in wx)

       This class is derived (and can use functions) from: wxControl  wxWindow
       wxEvtHandler

       wxWidgets docs: wxControlWithItems

DATA TYPES
       wxControlWithItems() = wx:wx_object()

EXPORTS
       append(This, Item) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 Item = unicode:chardata()

              Appends item into the control.

              Return:  The  return  value  is  the index of the newly inserted
              item. Note that this may be different from the last one  if  the
              control is sorted (e.g. has wxLB_SORT or wxCB_SORT style).

       append(This, Item, ClientData) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 Item = unicode:chardata()
                 ClientData = term()

              Appends item into the control.

              Return:  The  return  value  is  the index of the newly inserted
              item. Note that this may be different from the last one  if  the
              control is sorted (e.g. has wxLB_SORT or wxCB_SORT style).

       appendStrings(This, Items) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 Items = [unicode:chardata()]

              Appends several items at once into the control.

              Notice  that  calling  this  method  is usually much faster than
              appending them one by one if you need to add a lot of items.

       appendStrings(This, Items, ClientsData) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 Items = [unicode:chardata()]
                 ClientsData = [term()]

              Appends several items at once into the control.

              Notice that calling this method  is  usually  much  faster  than
              appending them one by one if you need to add a lot of items.

       clear(This) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()

              Removes all items from the control.

              clear/1 also deletes the client data of the existing items if it
              is owned by the control.

       delete(This, N) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 N = integer()

              Deletes an item from the control.

              The client data associated with the item will be also deleted if
              it  is owned by the control. Note that it is an error (signalled
              by an assert failure in debug builds) to remove an item with the
              index  negative  or greater or equal than the number of items in
              the control.

              If there is a currently  selected  item  below  the  item  being
              deleted,  i.e.  if  getSelection/1 returns a valid index greater
              than or equal to n, the selection is invalidated when this func-
              tion  is called. However if the selected item appears before the
              item being deleted, the selection is preserved unchanged.

              See: clear/1

       findString(This, String) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 String = unicode:chardata()

       findString(This, String, Options :: [Option]) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 String = unicode:chardata()
                 Option = {bCase, boolean()}

              Finds an item whose label matches the given string.

              Return: The zero-based position of the item, or  wxNOT_FOUND  if
              the string was not found.

       getClientData(This, N) -> term()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 N = integer()

              Returns  a  pointer to the client data associated with the given
              item (if any).

              It is an error to call this function for a control which doesn't
              have  typed client data at all although it is OK to call it even
              if the given item doesn't have any client data  associated  with
              it (but other items do).

              Notice  that  the returned pointer is still owned by the control
              and will be deleted by it, use DetachClientObject() (not  imple-
              mented  in  wx)  if you want to remove the pointer from the con-
              trol.

              Return: A pointer to the client data, or NULL if not present.

       setClientData(This, N, Data) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 N = integer()
                 Data = term()

              Associates the given typed client data pointer  with  the  given
              item:  the  data object will be deleted when the item is deleted
              (either explicitly by using delete/2 or implicitly when the con-
              trol itself is destroyed).

              Note  that  it  is an error to call this function if any untyped
              client data pointers had been associated with the control  items
              before.

       getCount(This) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()

              Returns the number of items in the control.

              See: isEmpty/1

       getSelection(This) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()

              Returns the index of the selected item or wxNOT_FOUND if no item
              is selected.

              Return: The position of the current selection.

              Remark: This method can be used with single selection list boxes
              only,  you  should  use  wxListBox:getSelections/1  for the list
              boxes with wxLB_MULTIPLE style.

              See: setSelection/2, getStringSelection/1

       getString(This, N) -> unicode:charlist()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 N = integer()

              Returns the label of the item with the given index.

              Return: The label of the item or an empty string if the position
              was invalid.

       getStringSelection(This) -> unicode:charlist()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()

              Returns  the label of the selected item or an empty string if no
              item is selected.

              See: getSelection/1

       insert(This, Item, Pos) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 Item = unicode:chardata()
                 Pos = integer()

              Inserts item into the control.

              Return: The return value is the  index  of  the  newly  inserted
              item. If the insertion failed for some reason, -1 is returned.

       insert(This, Item, Pos, ClientData) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 Item = unicode:chardata()
                 Pos = integer()
                 ClientData = term()

              Inserts item into the control.

              Return:  The  return  value  is  the index of the newly inserted
              item. If the insertion failed for some reason, -1 is returned.

       insertStrings(This, Items, Pos) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 Items = [unicode:chardata()]
                 Pos = integer()

              Inserts several items at once into the control.

              Notice that calling this method  is  usually  much  faster  than
              inserting them one by one if you need to insert a lot of items.

              Return: The return value is the index of the last inserted item.
              If the insertion failed for some reason, -1 is returned.

       insertStrings(This, Items, Pos, ClientsData) -> integer()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 Items = [unicode:chardata()]
                 Pos = integer()
                 ClientsData = [term()]

              Inserts several items at once into the control.

              Notice that calling this method  is  usually  much  faster  than
              inserting them one by one if you need to insert a lot of items.

              Return: The return value is the index of the last inserted item.
              If the insertion failed for some reason, -1 is returned.

       isEmpty(This) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()

              Returns true if the control is empty or false  if  it  has  some
              items.

              See: getCount/1

       select(This, N) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 N = integer()

              This is the same as setSelection/2 and exists only because it is
              slightly more natural for controls which support multiple selec-
              tion.

       setSelection(This, N) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 N = integer()

              Sets  the selection to the given item n or removes the selection
              entirely if n == wxNOT_FOUND.

              Note that this does not cause any command events to  be  emitted
              nor  does it deselect any other items in the controls which sup-
              port multiple selections.

              See: setString/3, setStringSelection/2

       setString(This, N, String) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 N = integer()
                 String = unicode:chardata()

              Sets the label for the given item.

       setStringSelection(This, String) -> boolean()

              Types:

                 This = wxControlWithItems()
                 String = unicode:chardata()

              Selects the item with the specified string in the control.

              This method doesn't cause any command events to be emitted.

              Notice that this method is case-insensitive, i.e. the string  is
              compared with all the elements of the control case-insensitively
              and the first matching entry is selected,  even  if  it  doesn't
              have  exactly the same case as this string and there is an exact
              match afterwards.

              Return: true if the specified string has been selected, false if
              it wasn't found in the control.
