    wxHtmlListBox is an implementation of wxVListBox which shows HTML content in
    the listbox rows. This is still an abstract base class and you will need to
    derive your own class from it (see htlbox sample for the example) but you will
    only need to override a single wxHtmlListBox::OnGetItem function.

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxHtmlCellEvent,wxHtmlLinkEvent}
    @event{EVT_HTML_CELL_CLICKED(id, func)}
        A wxHtmlCell was clicked.
    @event{EVT_HTML_CELL_HOVER(id, func)}
        The mouse passed over a wxHtmlCell.
    @event{EVT_HTML_LINK_CLICKED(id, func)}
        A wxHtmlCell which contains an hyperlink was clicked.

/**
    @class wxSimpleHtmlListBox

    wxSimpleHtmlListBox is an implementation of wxHtmlListBox which
    shows HTML content in the listbox rows.

    Unlike wxHtmlListBox, this is not an abstract class and thus it has the
    advantage that you can use it without deriving your own class from it.
    However, it also has the disadvantage that this is not a virtual control and
    thus it's not well-suited for those cases where you need to show a huge number
    of items: every time you add/insert a string, it will be stored internally
    and thus will take memory.

    The interface exposed by wxSimpleHtmlListBox fully implements the
    wxControlWithItems interface, thus you should refer to wxControlWithItems's
    documentation for the API reference for adding/removing/retrieving items in
    the listbox. Also note that the wxVListBox::SetItemCount function is
    @c protected in wxSimpleHtmlListBox's context so that you cannot call it
    directly, wxSimpleHtmlListBox will do it for you.

    Note: in case you need to append a lot of items to the control at once, make
    sure to use the
    @ref wxControlWithItems::Append "Append(const wxArrayString&)" function.

    Thus the only difference between a wxListBox and a wxSimpleHtmlListBox
    is that the latter stores strings which can contain HTML fragments (see the
    list of @ref overview_html_supptags "tags supported by wxHTML").

    Note that the HTML strings you fetch to wxSimpleHtmlListBox should not contain
    the @c \<html\> or @c \<body\> tags.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxHLB_DEFAULT_STYLE}
           The default style: wxBORDER_SUNKEN
    @style{wxHLB_MULTIPLE}
           Multiple-selection list: the user can toggle multiple items on and off.
    @endStyleTable


    A wxSimpleHtmlListBox emits the same events used by wxListBox and by wxHtmlListBox.

    @beginEventEmissionTable
    @event{EVT_LISTBOX(id, func)}
        Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_SELECTED event, when an item on the list
        is selected. See wxCommandEvent.
    @event{EVT_LISTBOX_DCLICK(id, func)}
        Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_DOUBLECLICKED event, when the listbox is
        double-clicked. See wxCommandEvent.
    @event{EVT_HTML_CELL_CLICKED(id, func)}
        A wxHtmlCell was clicked. See wxHtmlCellEvent.
    @event{EVT_HTML_CELL_HOVER(id, func)}
        The mouse passed over a wxHtmlCell. See wxHtmlCellEvent.
    @event{EVT_HTML_LINK_CLICKED(id, func)}
        A wxHtmlCell which contains an hyperlink was clicked. See wxHtmlLinkEvent
