Re: [wxperl-users] Bug: wxMac 2.8.0 ListCtrl binding in Wx 0.67

[Edward H. <ed...@do...>]

I've been looking at this further and wondering if the problem arises 
somehow from this:

http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.8.0/wx_wxlistctrl.html
*Mac Note:* Starting with 2.8, wxListCtrl uses a native implementation 
for report mode, and uses a generic implementation for other modes. You 
can use the generic implementation for report mode as well by setting 
the mac.listctrl.always_use_generic wxSystemOption 
<http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.8.0/wx_wxsystemoptions.html#wxsystemoptions> 
to 1.

Sounds likely since this weirdness is seen only in report mode, only on 
the mac.  Also sounds likely that we'll want to set that option in any 
case because we want consistent behavior across platforms as much as 
possible.

If wxSystemOptions are available in wxPerl, though, it's not clear to me 
how to get or set them.  Can you get or set wxSystemOptions in wxPerl?
