NAME

       wxControl - Functions for wxControl class

DESCRIPTION

       This is the base class for a control or "widget".

       A  control  is  generally  a  small window which processes user input and/or displays one or more item of
       data.

       See: wxValidator (not implemented in wx)

       This class is derived (and can use functions) from: wxWindow wxEvtHandler

       wxWidgets docs: wxControl

EVENTS

       Event types emitted from this class: command_text_copy, command_text_cut, command_text_paste

DATA TYPES

       wxControl() = wx:wx_object()

EXPORTS

       getLabel(This) -> unicode:charlist()

              Types:

                 This = wxControl()

              Returns the control's label, as it was passed to setLabel/2.

              Note that the returned string may contains mnemonics ("&" characters) if they were passed  to  the
              setLabel/2 function; use GetLabelText() (not implemented in wx) if they are undesired.

              Also  note that the returned string is always the string which was passed to setLabel/2 but may be
              different from the string passed to SetLabelText() (not implemented in wx) (since  this  last  one
              escapes mnemonic characters).

       setLabel(This, Label) -> ok

              Types:

                 This = wxControl()
                 Label = unicode:chardata()

              Sets the control's label.

              All  "&"  characters  in  the  label  are  special  and indicate that the following character is a
              mnemonic for this control and can be used to activate it from the keyboard (typically by using Alt
              key in combination with it). To insert a literal ampersand character, you need to double it,  i.e.
              use "&&". If this behaviour is undesirable, use SetLabelText() (not implemented in wx) instead.
