.. class:: ThumbnailCtrl(wx.Panel)

   :class:`ThumbnailCtrl` is a widget that can be used to display a series of images in
   a "thumbnail" format.

   .. method:: __init__(self, parent, id=wx.ID_ANY, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=wx.DefaultSize, thumboutline=THUMB_OUTLINE_IMAGE, thumbfilter=THUMB_FILTER_IMAGES, imagehandler=PILImageHandler)

      Default class constructor.
      
      :param `parent`: parent window. Must not be ``None``;
      :param `id`: window identifier. A value of -1 indicates a default value;
      :param `pos`: the control position. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default position,
       chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform;
      :param `size`: the control size. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default size,
       chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform;
      :param `thumboutline`: outline style for :class:`ThumbnailCtrl`, which may be:
      
       =========================== ======= ==================================
       Outline Flag                 Value  Description
       =========================== ======= ==================================
       ``THUMB_OUTLINE_NONE``            0 No outline is drawn on selection
       ``THUMB_OUTLINE_FULL``            1 Full outline (image+caption) is drawn on selection
       ``THUMB_OUTLINE_RECT``            2 Only thumbnail bounding rectangle is drawn on selection (default)
       ``THUMB_OUTLINE_IMAGE``           4 Only image bounding rectangle is drawn.
       =========================== ======= ==================================
      
      :param `thumbfilter`: filter for image/video/audio files. Actually only
       ``THUMB_FILTER_IMAGES`` is implemented;
      :param `imagehandler`: can be :class:`PILImageHandler` if PIL is installed (faster), or
       :class:`NativeImageHandler` which only uses wxPython image methods.

   .. method:: OnComboBox(self, event)

      Handles the ``wx.EVT_COMBOBOX`` for the folder combobox.
      
      :param `event`: a :class:`CommandEvent` event to be processed.


   .. method:: RecreateComboBox(self, newdir)

      Recreates the folder combobox every time a new directory is explored.
      
      :param `newdir`: the new folder to be explored.


   .. method:: ShowComboBox(self, show=True)

      Shows/Hide the top folder :class:`ComboBox`.
