==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.ListView**
==========================================================================================================================================

This class currently simply presents a simpler to use interface for the :ref:`wx.ListCtrl`  –  it can be thought of as a `façade`  for that complicated class.          

Using it is preferable to using :ref:`wx.ListCtrl`  directly whenever possible because in the future some ports might implement :ref:`wx.ListView`  but not the full set of :ref:`wx.ListCtrl`  features. 

Other than different interface, this class is identical to :ref:`wx.ListCtrl`. In particular, it uses the same events, same window styles and so on.

      :type `col`: int




                  



      .. seealso:: :meth:`SetColumnImage`

   .. method:: GetFirstSelected(self)

      Returns the first selected item in a (presumably) multiple selection control.                  

      Together with :meth:`GetNextSelected`   it can be used to iterate over all selected items in the control.

      :returns: 

         The first selected item, if any, -1 otherwise.

      Returns the currently focused item or -1 if none.                  

                

      :rtype: `long`

      Used together with :meth:`GetFirstSelected`   to iterate over all selected items in the control.                  

                


      :param `item`: 
      :type `item`: long




      :rtype: `long`







      :returns: 

         Returns the next selected item or -1 if there are no more of them.   








   .. method:: IsSelected(self, index)

      Returns ``True`` if the item with the given `index`  is selected, ``False`` otherwise.

   .. method:: Select(self, n, on=True)

      Selects or unselects the given item.                  

      Notice that this method inherits the unusual behaviour of :meth:`wx.ListCtrl.SetItemState`   which sends a wxEVT_LIST_ITEM_SELECTED event when it is used to select an item, contrary to the usual rule that only the user actions result in selection. 




      :param `n`: the item to select or unselect   
      :type `n`: long
      :param `on`: if ``True`` (default), selects the item, otherwise unselects it

   .. method:: SetColumnImage(self, col, image)

      Sets the column image for the specified column.                  

      To use the column images, the control must have a valid image list with at least one image. 




      :param `col`: the column to set image for   
      :type `col`: int
      :param `image`: the index of the column image in the controls image list   
      :type `image`: int
