Chapter 12. Advanced Window Classes
Although this book can't cover all the classes in wxWidgets in detail, it's worth looking at a few of the more advanced GUI classes that can contribute to the creation of a more interesting application. This chapter covers the following topics:
- wxTReeCtrl; a control that helps you model hierarchical data.
- wxListCtrl; a flexible control for showing lists of text labels and icons in several styles.
- wxWizard; a special dialog to guide your user through a specific task using a sequence of pages.
- 257Window; a highly versatile, lightweigh254 control for use in anything from "About" boxes to report windows.
- wxGrid; a feature-rich control for displaying tabular data.
- wxTaskBarIcon; a quick way for your users to access features in your application from the system tray or equivalent.
- Writing your own controls. The necessary steps to build a well-behaved "custom control."
