NAME

6       wxControl - Functions for wxControl class
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This is the base class for a control or "widget".
10
11       A control is generally a small window which processes user input and/or
12       displays one or more item of data.
13
14       See: wxValidator (not implemented in wx)
15
16       This class is derived  (and  can  use  functions)  from:  wxWindow  wx‐
17       EvtHandler

DATA TYPES

26       wxControl() = wx:wx_object()

EXPORTS

29       getLabel(This) -> unicode:charlist()
30
31              Types:
32
33                 This = wxControl()
34
35              Returns the control's label, as it was passed to setLabel/2.
36
37              Note that the returned string may contains mnemonics ("&"  char‐
38              acters) if they were passed to the setLabel/2 function; use Get‐
39              LabelText() (not implemented in wx) if they are undesired.
40
41              Also note that the returned string is always  the  string  which
42              was  passed  to  setLabel/2 but may be different from the string
43              passed to SetLabelText() (not implemented  in  wx)  (since  this
44              last one escapes mnemonic characters).
45
46       setLabel(This, Label) -> ok
47
48              Types:
49
50                 This = wxControl()
51                 Label = unicode:chardata()
52
53              Sets the control's label.
54
55              All  "&"  characters  in the label are special and indicate that
56              the following character is a mnemonic for this control  and  can
57              be used to activate it from the keyboard (typically by using Alt
58              key in combination with it). To insert a literal ampersand char‐
59              acter,  you  need to double it, i.e. use "&&". If this behaviour
60              is undesirable, use SetLabelText() (not implemented in  wx)  in‐
61              stead.
