# TODO List
#
# 1)  Subitem selection;
# 2)  Watermark? (almost, does not work very well :-( );
# 3)  Groups? (Maybe, check ObjectListView);
# 4)  Scrolling items as headers and footers;
# 5)  Alpha channel for text/background of items;
# 6)  Custom renderers for headers/footers (done);
# 7)  Fading in and out on mouse motion (a la Windows Vista Aero);
# 8)  Sub-text for headers/footers (grey text below the header/footer text);
# 9)  Fixing the columns to the left or right side of the control layout;
# 10) Skins for header and scrollbars (implemented for headers/footers).

Description
===========

UltimateListCtrl is a class that mimics the behaviour of `wx.ListCtrl`, with almost
the same base functionalities plus some more enhancements. This class does
not rely on the native control, as it is a full owner-drawn list control.

In addition to the standard `wx.ListCtrl` behaviour this class supports:


Appearance
==========

* Multiple images for items/subitems;
* Images can be of any size and not limited to a single specific pair of `width`, `height`
  as it is the case of `wx.ImageList`. Simply use L{PyImageList} instead of `wx.ImageList`
  to add your images.
* Font, colour, background, custom renderers and formatting for items and subitems;
* Ability to add persistent data to an item using L{SetItemPyData} and L{GetItemPyData}:
  the data can be any Python object and not necessarily an integer as in `wx.ListCtrl`;
* CheckBox-type items and subitems;
* RadioButton-type items and subitems;
* Overflowing items/subitems, a la `wx.grid.Grid`, i.e. an item/subitem may overwrite neighboring
  items/subitems if its text would not normally fit in the space allotted to it;
* Hyperlink-type items and subitems: they look like an hyperlink, with the proper mouse
  cursor on hovering;
* Multiline text items and subitems;
* Variable row heights depending on the item/subitem kind/text/window;
* User defined item/subitem renderers: these renderer classes **must** implement the methods
  `DrawSubItem`, `GetLineHeight` and `GetSubItemWidth` (see the demo);
* Enabling/disabling items (together with their plain or grayed out icons);
* Whatever non-toplevel widget can be attached next to an item/subitem;
* Column headers are fully customizable in terms of icons, colour, font, alignment etc...;
* Column headers can have their own checkbox/radiobutton;
* Column footers are fully customizable in terms of icons, colour, font, alignment etc...;
* Column footers can have their own checkbox/radiobutton;
* Ability to hide/show columns;
* Default selection style, gradient (horizontal/vertical) selection style and Windows
  Vista selection style.


And a lot more. Check the demo for an almost complete review of the functionalities.


Window Styles
=============

This class supports the following window styles:

===============================  =========== ====================================================================================================
Window Styles                    Hex Value   Description
===============================  =========== ====================================================================================================
``ULC_VRULES``                           0x1 Draws light vertical rules between rows in report mode.
``ULC_HRULES``                           0x2 Draws light horizontal rules between rows in report mode.
``ULC_ICON``                             0x4 Large icon view, with optional labels.
``ULC_SMALL_ICON``                       0x8 Small icon view, with optional labels.
``ULC_LIST``                            0x10 Multicolumn list view, with optional small icons. Columns are computed automatically, i.e. you don't set columns as in ``ULC_REPORT``. In other words, the list wraps, unlike a `wx.ListBox`.
``ULC_REPORT``                          0x20 Single or multicolumn report view, with optional header.
``ULC_ALIGN_TOP``                       0x40 Icons align to the top. Win32 default, Win32 only.
``ULC_ALIGN_LEFT``                      0x80 Icons align to the left.
``ULC_AUTOARRANGE``                    0x100 Icons arrange themselves. Win32 only.
``ULC_VIRTUAL``                        0x200 The application provides items text on demand. May only be used with ``ULC_REPORT``.
``ULC_EDIT_LABELS``                    0x400 Labels are editable: the application will be notified when editing starts.
``ULC_NO_HEADER``                      0x800 No header in report mode.
``ULC_NO_SORT_HEADER``                0x1000 No Docs.
``ULC_SINGLE_SEL``                    0x2000 Single selection (default is multiple).
``ULC_SORT_ASCENDING``                0x4000 Sort in ascending order. (You must still supply a comparison callback in `wx.ListCtrl.SortItems`.)
``ULC_SORT_DESCENDING``               0x8000 Sort in descending order. (You must still supply a comparison callback in `wx.ListCtrl.SortItems`.)
``ULC_TILE``                         0x10000 Each item appears as a full-sized icon with a label of one or more lines beside it (partially implemented).
``ULC_NO_HIGHLIGHT``                 0x20000 No highlight when an item is selected.
``ULC_STICKY_HIGHLIGHT``             0x40000 Items are selected by simply hovering on them, with no need to click on them.
``ULC_STICKY_NOSELEVENT``            0x80000 Don't send a selection event when using ``ULC_STICKY_HIGHLIGHT`` style.
``ULC_SEND_LEFTCLICK``              0x100000 Send a left click event when an item is selected.
``ULC_HAS_VARIABLE_ROW_HEIGHT``     0x200000 The list has variable row heights.
``ULC_AUTO_CHECK_CHILD``            0x400000 When a column header has a checkbox associated, auto-check all the subitems in that column.
``ULC_AUTO_TOGGLE_CHILD``           0x800000 When a column header has a checkbox associated, toggle all the subitems in that column.
``ULC_AUTO_CHECK_PARENT``          0x1000000 Only meaningful foe checkbox-type items: when an item is checked/unchecked its column header item is checked/unchecked as well.
``ULC_SHOW_TOOLTIPS``              0x2000000 Show tooltips for ellipsized items/subitems (text too long to be shown in the available space) containing the full item/subitem text.
``ULC_HOT_TRACKING``               0x4000000 Enable hot tracking of items on mouse motion.
``ULC_BORDER_SELECT``              0x8000000 Changes border colour whan an item is selected, instead of highlighting the item.
``ULC_TRACK_SELECT``              0x10000000 Enables hot-track selection in a list control. Hot track selection means that an item is automatically selected when the cursor remains over the item for a certain period of time. The delay is retrieved on Windows using the `win32api` call `win32gui.SystemParametersInfo(win32con.SPI_GETMOUSEHOVERTIME)`, and is defaulted to 400ms on other platforms. This style applies to all views of `UltimateListCtrl`.
``ULC_HEADER_IN_ALL_VIEWS``       0x20000000 Show column headers in all view modes.
``ULC_NO_FULL_ROW_SELECT``        0x40000000 When an item is selected, the only the item in the first column is highlighted.
``ULC_FOOTER``                    0x80000000 Show a footer too (only when header is present).
``ULC_USER_ROW_HEIGHT``          0x100000000 Allows to set a custom row height (one value for all the items, only in report mode).

         ``ULC_AUTO_CHECK_PARENT``          0x1000000 Only meaningful foe checkbox-type items: when an item is checked/unchecked its column header item is checked/unchecked as well.

         ``ULC_BORDER_SELECT``              0x8000000 Changes border colour whan an item is selected, instead of highlighting the item.
         ``ULC_TRACK_SELECT``              0x10000000 Enables hot-track selection in a list control. Hot track selection means that an item is automatically selected when the cursor remains over the item for a certain period of time. The delay is retrieved on Windows using the `win32api` call `win32gui.SystemParametersInfo(win32con.SPI_GETMOUSEHOVERTIME)`, and is defaulted to 400ms on other platforms. This style applies to all views of `UltimateListCtrl`.
         ``ULC_HEADER_IN_ALL_VIEWS``       0x20000000 Show column headers in all view modes.
         ``ULC_NO_FULL_ROW_SELECT``        0x40000000 When an item is selected, the only the item in the first column is highlighted.

         ``ULC_USER_ROW_HEIGHT``          0x100000000 Allows to set a custom row height (one value for all the items, only in report mode).

         ``ULC_REPORT``                          0x20 Single or multicolumn report view, with optional header.

         ``ULC_NO_HEADER``                      0x800 No header in report mode.

         ``ULC_STICKY_HIGHLIGHT``             0x40000 Items are selected by simply hovering on them, with no need to click on them.
         ``ULC_STICKY_NOSELEVENT``            0x80000 Don't send a selection event when using ``ULC_STICKY_HIGHLIGHT`` style.
         ``ULC_SEND_LEFTCLICK``              0x100000 Send a left click event when an item is selected.
         ``ULC_HAS_VARIABLE_ROW_HEIGHT``     0x200000 The list has variable row heights.
         ``ULC_AUTO_CHECK_CHILD``            0x400000 When a column header has a checkbox associated, auto-check all the subitems in that column.
         ``ULC_AUTO_TOGGLE_CHILD``           0x800000 When a column header has a checkbox associated, toggle all the subitems in that column.
         ``ULC_AUTO_CHECK_PARENT``          0x1000000 Only meaningful foe checkbox-type items: when an item is checked/unchecked its column header item is checked/unchecked as well.
         ``ULC_SHOW_TOOLTIPS``              0x2000000 Show tooltips for ellipsized items/subitems (text too long to be shown in the available space) containing the full item/subitem text.
         ``ULC_HOT_TRACKING``               0x4000000 Enable hot tracking of items on mouse motion.
         ``ULC_BORDER_SELECT``              0x8000000 Changes border colour whan an item is selected, instead of highlighting the item.
         ``ULC_TRACK_SELECT``              0x10000000 Enables hot-track selection in a list control. Hot track selection means that an item is automatically selected when the cursor remains over the item for a certain period of time. The delay is retrieved on Windows using the `win32api` call `win32gui.SystemParametersInfo(win32con.SPI_GETMOUSEHOVERTIME)`, and is defaulted to 400ms on other platforms. This style applies to all views of `UltimateListCtrl`.
         ``ULC_HEADER_IN_ALL_VIEWS``       0x20000000 Show column headers in all view modes.
         ``ULC_NO_FULL_ROW_SELECT``        0x40000000 When an item is selected, the only the item in the first column is highlighted.
         ``ULC_FOOTER``                    0x80000000 Show a footer too (only when header is present).
         ``ULC_USER_ROW_HEIGHT``          0x100000000 Allows to set a custom row height (one value for all the items, only in report mode).
