#### TextCtrl that stores input as entered with optional validation
################################################################################
class ValidatedTxtCtrl(wx.TextCtrl):
    '''Create a TextCtrl widget that uses a validator to prevent the
    entry of inappropriate characters and changes color to highlight
    when invalid input is supplied. As valid values are typed,
    they are placed into the dict or list where the initial value
    came from. The type of the initial value must be int,
    float or str or None (see :obj:`key` and :obj:`typeHint`);
    this type (or the one in :obj:`typeHint`) is preserved.

    Float values can be entered in the TextCtrl as numbers or also
    as algebraic expressions using operators + - / \* () and \*\*,
    in addition pi, sind(), cosd(), tand(), and sqrt() can be used,
    as well as appreviations s, sin, c, cos, t, tan and sq. 

    :param wx.Panel parent: name of panel or frame that will be
      the parent to the TextCtrl. Can be None.

    :param dict/list loc: the dict or list with the initial value to be
      placed in the TextCtrl. 

    :param int/str key: the dict key or the list index for the value to be
      edited by the TextCtrl. The ``loc[key]`` element must exist, but may
      have value None. If None, the type for the element is taken from
      :obj:`typeHint` and the value for the control is set initially
      blank (and thus invalid.) This is a way to specify a field without a
      default value: a user must set a valid value. 
      If the value is not None, it must have a base
      type of int, float, str or unicode; the TextCrtl will be initialized
      from this value.
      
    :param list nDig: number of digits, places and optionally the format 
     ([nDig,nPlc,fmt]) after decimal to use for display of float. The format 
     is either 'f' (default) or 'g'. Alternately, None can be specified which 
     causes numbers to be displayed with approximately 5 significant figures
      (Default=None).

    :param bool notBlank: if True (default) blank values are invalid
      for str inputs.
      
    :param number min: minimum allowed valid value. If None (default) the
      lower limit is unbounded.
      NB: test in NumberValidator is val >= min not val > min

    :param number max: maximum allowed valid value. If None (default) the
      upper limit is unbounded
      NB: test in NumberValidator is val <= max not val < max
      
    :param list exclLim: if True exclude min/max value ([exclMin,exclMax]); 
     (Default=[False,False]) 

    :param function OKcontrol: specifies a function or method that will be
      called when the input is validated. The called function is supplied
      with one argument which is False if the TextCtrl contains an invalid
      value and True if the value is valid.
      Note that this function should check all values
      in the dialog when True, since other entries might be invalid.
      The default for this is None, which indicates no function should
      be called.

    :param function OnLeave: specifies a function or method that will be
      called when the focus for the control is lost.
      The called function is supplied with (at present) three keyword arguments:

         * invalid: (*bool*) True if the value for the TextCtrl is invalid
         * value:   (*int/float/str*)  the value contained in the TextCtrl
         * tc:      (*wx.TextCtrl*)  the TextCtrl object

      The number of keyword arguments may be increased in the future should needs arise,
      so it is best to code these functions with a \*\*kwargs argument so they will
      continue to run without errors

      The default for OnLeave is None, which indicates no function should
      be called.

    :param type typeHint: the value of typeHint is overrides the initial value
      for the dict/list element ``loc[key]``, if set to 
      int or float, which specifies the type for input to the TextCtrl.
      Defaults as None, which is ignored.

    :param bool CIFinput: for str input, indicates that only printable
      ASCII characters may be entered into the TextCtrl. Forces output
      to be ASCII rather than Unicode. For float and int input, allows
      use of a single '?' or '.' character as valid input.

    :param dict OnLeaveArgs: a dict with keyword args that are passed to
      the :attr:`OnLeave` function. Defaults to ``{}``

    :param bool ASCIIonly: if set as True will remove unicode characters from
      strings

    :param (other): other optional keyword parameters for the
      wx.TextCtrl widget such as size or style may be specified.
