    @class wxListBox

    A listbox is used to select one or more of a list of strings.

    The strings are displayed in a scrolling box, with the selected string(s)
    marked in reverse video. A listbox can be single selection (if an item is
    selected, the previous selection is removed) or multiple selection
    (clicking an item toggles the item on or off independently of other
    selections).

    List box elements are numbered from zero.
    Their number may be limited under some platforms.

    A listbox callback gets an event @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_SELECTED for
    single clicks, and @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_DOUBLECLICKED for double clicks.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxLB_SINGLE}
        Single-selection list.
    @style{wxLB_MULTIPLE}
        Multiple-selection list: the user can toggle multiple items on and off.
        This is the same as wxLB_EXTENDED in wxGTK2 port.
    @style{wxLB_EXTENDED}
        Extended-selection list: the user can extend the selection by using
        @c SHIFT or @c CTRL keys together with the cursor movement keys or
        the mouse.
    @style{wxLB_HSCROLL}
        Create horizontal scrollbar if contents are too wide (Windows only).
    @style{wxLB_ALWAYS_SB}
        Always show a vertical scrollbar.
    @style{wxLB_NEEDED_SB}
        Only create a vertical scrollbar if needed.
    @style{wxLB_NO_SB}
        Don't create vertical scrollbar (wxMSW only).
    @style{wxLB_SORT}
        The listbox contents are sorted in alphabetical order.
    @endStyleTable

    Note that @c wxLB_SINGLE, @c wxLB_MULTIPLE and @c wxLB_EXTENDED styles are
    mutually exclusive and you can specify at most one of them (single selection
    is the default). See also @ref overview_windowstyles.

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
    @event{EVT_LISTBOX(id, func)}
        Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_SELECTED event, when an item on the
        list is selected or the selection changes.
    @event{EVT_LISTBOX_DCLICK(id, func)}
        Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_DOUBLECLICKED event, when the listbox
        is double-clicked.
    @endEventTable
