wxCheckListBox Filtering function

Question

I'm currently trying to apply a filter to the wxCheckListBox (for a search of specific elements). So far i have no idea how to do it. The Problem with it is, that I don't want to have a copy of the Control and always delete the unnecessary items from the copy, and as soon as the search changes it has to be copied again from the original and delete the items again. I was wondering if there is a way to simply hide some items and not the entire control

Answer 1

You can't hide the items in a wxListBox or wxCheckListBox. To have this sort of dynamic control over the items appearing in the control you need to use wxListCtrl in virtual mode.

However it's not usually really a problem to delete some items from a wxListBox and then insert them back (or, even simpler, store all the items, delete some of them from the control and then, to revert, clear the control and restore all the initially stored items).
