This control is implemented natively under macOS and GTK 3.6 or later and generically for all the other platforms. Please note that this class provides many wxTextCtrl-like methods, but does _not_ necessarily derive from wxTextCtrl in all ports (it actually only does so in the MacOSX version currently). Only the methods defined in the wxTextEntry interface class are guaranteed to be available under all platforms. @beginStyleTable @style{wxTE_PROCESS_TAB} The control will receive @c wxEVT_CHAR events for TAB pressed - normally, TAB is used for passing to the next control in a dialog instead. For the control created with this style, you can still use Ctrl-Enter to pass to the next control from the keyboard. @style{wxTE_NOHIDESEL} By default, the Windows text control doesn't show the selection when it doesn't have focus - use this style to force it to always show it. It doesn't do anything under other platforms. @style{wxTE_LEFT} The text in the control will be left-justified (default). @style{wxTE_CENTRE} The text in the control will be centered (currently wxMSW and wxGTK2 only). @style{wxTE_RIGHT} The text in the control will be right-justified (currently wxMSW and wxGTK2 only). @style{wxTE_CAPITALIZE} On PocketPC and Smartphone, causes the first letter to be capitalized. @endStyleTable @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent} To react to the changes in the control contents, use wxEVT_TEXT event, just as you would do with wxTextCtrl. However it is recommended to use wxEVT_SEARCH to actually start searching to avoid doing it too soon, while the user is still typing (note that wxEVT_SEARCH is also triggered by pressing Enter in the control). @event{EVT_SEARCH(id, func)} Respond to a @c wxEVT_SEARCH event, generated when the search button is clicked. Note that this does not initiate a search on its own, you need to perform the appropriate action in your event handler. You may use @code event.GetString() @endcode to retrieve the string to search for in the event handler code. @event{EVT_SEARCH_CANCEL(id, func)} Respond to a @c wxEVT_SEARCH_CANCEL event, generated when the cancel button is clicked. @endEventTable @library{wxcore} @category{ctrl} @appearance{searchctrl} @see wxTextCtrl */ class wxSearchCtrl : public wxControl, public wxTextEntry { public: /** Default constructor */ wxSearchCtrl(); /** Constructor, creating and showing a text control. @param parent Parent window.
