:class:`~wx.lib.agw.pycollapsiblepane.PyCollapsiblePane` is a container with an embedded button-like control which
can be used by the user to collapse or expand the pane's contents.


Description
===========

A collapsible pane is a container with an embedded button-like control which
can be used by the user to collapse or expand the pane's contents.
Once constructed you should use the :meth:`~PyCollapsiblePane.GetPane` function to access the pane and
add your controls inside it (i.e. use the window returned from :meth:`~PyCollapsiblePane.GetPane` as the
parent for the controls which must go in the pane, **not** the :class:`PyCollapsiblePane`
itself!).

:note: Note that because of its nature of control which can dynamically (and drastically)
 change its size at run-time under user-input, when putting :class:`PyCollapsiblePane`
 inside a :class:`wx.Sizer` you should be careful to add it with a proportion value of zero;
 this is because otherwise all other windows with non-null proportion values would
 automatically get resized each time the user expands or collapse the pane window
 resulting usually in a weird, flickering effect.


Usage
=====

Usage example::

    import wx
    import wx.lib.agw.pycollapsiblepane as PCP

    class MyFrame(wx.Frame):

        def __init__(self, parent):

            wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, "PyCollapsiblePane Demo")

            panel = wx.Panel(self)

            title = wx.StaticText(panel, label="PyCollapsiblePane")
            title.SetFont(wx.Font(18, wx.FONTFAMILY_SWISS, wx.FONTSTYLE_NORMAL, wx.FONTWEIGHT_BOLD))
            title.SetForegroundColour("blue")

            self.cp = cp = PCP.PyCollapsiblePane(panel, label="Some Data",
                                                 style=wx.CP_DEFAULT_STYLE | wx.CP_NO_TLW_RESIZE)

            self.MakePaneContent(cp.GetPane())

            sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
            sizer.Add(title, 0, wx.ALL, 25)
            sizer.Add(cp, 0, wx.RIGHT | wx.LEFT | wx.EXPAND, 25)

            panel.SetSizer(sizer)
            sizer.Layout()


        def MakePaneContent(self, pane):
            ''' Just makes a few controls to put on `PyCollapsiblePane`. '''

            nameLbl = wx.StaticText(pane, -1, "Name:")
            name = wx.TextCtrl(pane, -1, "");

            addrLbl = wx.StaticText(pane, -1, "Address:")
            addr1 = wx.TextCtrl(pane, -1, "");
            addr2 = wx.TextCtrl(pane, -1, "");

            cstLbl = wx.StaticText(pane, -1, "City, State, Zip:")
            city  = wx.TextCtrl(pane, -1, "", size=(150,-1));
            state = wx.TextCtrl(pane, -1, "", size=(50,-1));
            zip   = wx.TextCtrl(pane, -1, "", size=(70,-1));

            addrSizer = wx.FlexGridSizer(cols=2, hgap=5, vgap=5)
            addrSizer.AddGrowableCol(1)
            addrSizer.Add(nameLbl, 0,
                          wx.ALIGN_RIGHT | wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL)
            addrSizer.Add(name, 0, wx.EXPAND)
            addrSizer.Add(addrLbl, 0,
                          wx.ALIGN_RIGHT | wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL)
            addrSizer.Add(addr1, 0, wx.EXPAND)
            addrSizer.Add((5,5))
            addrSizer.Add(addr2, 0, wx.EXPAND)

            addrSizer.Add(cstLbl, 0,
                          wx.ALIGN_RIGHT | wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL)

            cstSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
            cstSizer.Add(city, 1)
            cstSizer.Add(state, 0, wx.LEFT | wx.RIGHT, 5)
            cstSizer.Add(zip)
            addrSizer.Add(cstSizer, 0, wx.EXPAND)

            border = wx.BoxSizer()
            border.Add(addrSizer, 1, wx.EXPAND | wx.ALL, 5)
            pane.SetSizer(border)


    # our normal wxApp-derived class, as usual

    app = wx.App(0)

    frame = MyFrame(None)
    app.SetTopWindow(frame)
    frame.Show()

    app.MainLoop()



Window Styles
=============

This class supports the following window styles:

==================== =========== ==================================================
Window Styles        Hex Value   Description
==================== =========== ==================================================
``CP_NO_TLW_RESIZE``         0x2 By default :class:`PyCollapsiblePane` resizes the top level window containing it when its own size changes. This allows to easily implement dialogs containing an optionally shown part, for example, and so is the default behaviour but can be inconvenient in some specific cases -- use this flag to disable this automatic parent resizing then.
``CP_GTK_EXPANDER``          0x4 Uses a GTK expander instead of a button.
``CP_USE_STATICBOX``         0x8 Uses a :class:`StaticBox` around :class:`PyCollapsiblePane`.
``CP_LINE_ABOVE``           0x10 Draws a line above :class:`PyCollapsiblePane`.
==================== =========== ==================================================


Events Processing
=================

This class processes the following events:

=============================== ==================================================
Event Name                      Description
=============================== ==================================================
``EVT_COLLAPSIBLEPANE_CHANGED`` The user showed or hid the collapsible pane.
