    @class wxHeaderCtrl

    wxHeaderCtrl is the control containing the column headings which is usually
    used for display of tabular data.

    It is used as part of wxGrid and (will be used in the near future) in
    in wxDataViewCtrl and report view of wxListCtrl but can be also used
    independently.

    In addition to labeling the columns, the control has the following
    features:
        - Column reordering support, either by explicitly configuring the
          columns order and calling SetColumnsOrder() or by dragging the
          columns interactively (if enabled).
        - Display of the icons in the header: this is often used to display a
          sort or reverse sort indicator when the column header is clicked.

    Notice that this control itself doesn't do anything other than displaying
    the column headers. In particular column reordering and sorting must still
    be supported by the associated control displaying the real data under the
    header.

    This control is implemented using the native header control under MSW
    systems and a generic implementation elsewhere.

    @beginStyleTable
        @style{wxHD_DRAGDROP}
            If this style is specified (it is by default), the user can reorder
            the control columns by dragging them.
        @style{wxHD_DEFAULT_STYLE}
            Symbolic name for the default control style, currently equal to @c
            wxHD_DRAGDROP.
    @endStyleTable

    @beginEventTable{wxHeaderEvent}
    @event{EVT_HEADER_CLICK(id, func)}
        A column heading was clicked.
    @endEventTable

    @library{wxcore}
    @category{ctrl}

    @see wxGrid, wxListCtrl, wxDataViewCtrl


    @section headerctrl_improvements Future Improvements

    Some features are supported by the native MSW control and so could be
    easily implemented in this version of wxHeaderCtrl but need to be
    implemented in the generic version as well to be really useful. Please let
    us know if you need or, better, plan to work on implementing, any of them:
        - Displaying bitmaps instead of or together with the text
        - Custom drawn headers
        - Filters associated with a column.
