wxDataViewModel is the base class for all data model to be
displayed by a \helpref{wxDataViewCtrl}{wxdataviewctrl}.
Currently, this class has no functionality at all and the
only existing implementation of it is the
\helpref{wxDataViewListModel}{wxdataviewlistmodel}. The
plan is to move all functionality of wxDataViewListModel
and a to-be-written wxDataViewTreeModel into wxDataViewModel
and make wxDataViewListModel and wxDataViewTreeModel subsets
of the abstract wxDataViewModel.
All other models derive from it and must implement its
pure virtual functions in order to define a complete
data model. In detail, you need to override
\helpref{IsContainer}{wxdataviewmodeliscontainer},
\helpref{GetParent}{wxdataviewmodelgetparent},
\helpref{GetColumnCount}{wxdataviewmodelgetcolumncount},
\helpref{GetColumnType}{wxdataviewmodelgetcolumntype} and
\helpref{GetValue}{wxdataviewmodelgetvalue} in order to
define the data model which acts as an interface between
your actual data and the wxDataViewCtrl. Since you will
usually also allow the wxDataViewCtrl to change your data
through its graphical interface, you will also have to override
\helpref{SetValue}{wxdataviewlistmodelsetvalue} which the
wxDataViewCtrl will call when a change to some data has been
commited.
wxDataViewModel (as indeed the entire wxDataViewCtrl
code) is using \helpref{wxVariant}{wxvariant} to store data and
its type in a generic way. wxVariant can be extended to contain
almost any data without changes to the original class.
The data that is presented through this data model is expected
to change at run-time. You need to inform the data model when
a change happened. Depending on what happened you need to call
one of the following methods:
\helpref{ValueChanged}{wxdataviewmodelvaluechanged},
\helpref{ItemAdded}{wxdataviewmodelitemadded},
\helpref{ItemDeleted}{wxdataviewmodelitemdeleted},
\helpref{ItemChanged}{wxdataviewmodelitemchanged},
\helpref{Cleared}{wxdataviewmodelcleared}.
Note that wxDataViewModel does not define the position or
index of any item in the control since several control might
display the data differently, but wxDataViewModel does
provide a \helpref{Compare}{wxdataviewmodelcompare} method
which the wxDataViewCtrl may use to sort the data.
This class maintains a list of
\helpref{wxDataViewModelNotifier}{wxdataviewmodelnotifier}
which link this class to the specific implementations on the
supported platforms so that e.g. calling
\helpref{ValueChanged}{wxdataviewmodelvaluechanged}
on this model will just call
\helpref{wxDataViewModelNotifier::ValueChanged}{wxdataviewmodelnotifiervaluechanged}
for each notifier that has been added. You can also add
your own notifier in order to get informed about any changes
to the data in the list model.
Currently wxWidgets provides the following models apart
from the base model:
\helpref{wxDataViewIndexListModel}{wxdataviewindexlistmodel}.
It is planned to add helper classes for simple tree
and list stores in the future.

\section{\class{wxDataViewListModel}}\label{wxdataviewlistmodel}
wxDataViewListModel is currently the only existing variant
of a \helpref{wxDataViewModel}{wxdataviewmodel}. It allows
to define a table like data model to be displayed by a
\helpref{wxDataViewCtrl}{wxdataviewctrl}. You need to derive
from this class to define your own data model.
You need to override \helpref{GetRowCount}{wxdataviewlistmodelgetrowcount},

\helpref{GetColumnType}{wxdataviewlistmodelgetcolumntype} and

\membersection{wxDataViewModel::AddNotifier}\label{wxdataviewmodeladdnotifier}
wxDataViewModel and this class (as indeed the entire wxDataViewCtrl
code) is using \helpref{wxVariant}{wxvariant} to store data and
its type in a generic way. wxVariant can be extended to contain
almost any data without changes to the original class.
\func{void}{AddNotifier}{\param{wxDataViewModelNotifier* }{notifier}}
This class maintains a list of
\helpref{wxDataListViewListModelNotifier}{wxdataviewlistmodelnotifier}
which link this class to the specific implementations on the
supported platforms so that e.g. calling
\helpref{ValueChanged}{wxdataviewlistmodelvaluechanged}
on this model will just call
\helpref{wxDataListViewListModelNotifier::ValueChanged}{wxdataviewlistmodelnotifiervaluechanged}
for each notifier that has been added. This is used both for
informing the native controls to redraw themselves and for informing
e.g. the \helpref{wxDataViewSortedListModel}{wxdataviewsortedlistmodel}
to resort itself. You can also add your own notifier in order
to get informed about any changes to the data in the list model.
Adds a \helpref{wxDataViewModelNotifier}{wxdataviewlistmodelnotifier}
to the model.
Additionally, this class maintains a list of all
\helpref{wxDataViewColumns}{wxdataviewcolumn} which
display a certain column of this list model. This is
mostly used internally.

\membersection{wxDataViewListModel::SetValue}\label{wxdataviewlistmodelsetvalue}
\func{virtual bool}{SetValue}{\param{const wxVariant\& }{variant}, \param{unsigned int }{col}, \param{unsigned int }{row}}
This method gets called by e.g. the wxDataViewCtrl class if a
value has been changed through its graphical interface. You
need to override this method in order to update the data in
the underlying data structur. Afterwards,
\helpref{ValueChanged}{wxdataviewlistmodelvaluechanged} is called.
\membersection{wxDataViewListModel::ValueChanged}\label{wxdataviewlistmodelvaluechanged}

Call this if a value in the model has been changed.
\section{\class{wxDataViewSortedListModel}}\label{wxdataviewsortedlistmodel}
This class is used for sorting data. It does not contain any
data itself. Rather, it provides a sorted interface for
another list model.
Currently, the sorting algorithm isn't thread safe. This needs
to be fixed.

Set the sort order of the data.
This gets called in order to set a value in the data model.
The most common scenario is that the wxDataViewCtrl calls
this method after the user changed some data in the view.
Afterwards \helpref{ValueChanged}{wxdataviewmodelvaluechanged}
has to be called!
\membersection{wxDataViewModel::ValueChanged}\label{wxdataviewmodelvaluechanged}
\func{bool}{ValueChanged}{\param{const wxDataViewItem\& }{item}, \param{unsigned int }{col}}
Call this to inform this model that a value in
the model has been changed.
