  13
  14     wxItemContainer defines an interface which is implemented by all controls
  15     which have string subitems each of which may be selected.
  16
  17     It is decomposed in wxItemContainerImmutable which omits all methods
  18     adding/removing items and is used by wxRadioBox and wxItemContainer itself.
  19
  20     Note that this is not a control, it's a mixin interface that classes
  21     have to derive from in addition to wxControl or wxWindow.
  22
  23     Examples: wxListBox, wxCheckListBox, wxChoice and wxComboBox (which
  24     implements an extended interface deriving from this one)

 160     This class is an abstract base class for some wxWidgets controls which
 161     contain several items such as wxListBox, wxCheckListBox, wxComboBox or
 162     wxChoice. It defines an interface which is implemented by all controls
 163     which have string subitems each of which may be selected.
 164
 165     wxItemContainer extends wxItemContainerImmutable interface with methods
 166     for adding/removing items.
 167
 168     It defines the methods for accessing the controls items and although each
 169     of the derived classes implements them differently, they still all conform
 170     to the same interface.
 171
 172     The items in a wxItemContainer have (non-empty) string labels and,
 173     optionally, client data associated with them. Client data may be of two
 174     different kinds: either simple untyped (@c void *) pointers which are
 175     simply stored by the control but not used in any way by it, or typed
 176     pointers (wxClientData*) which are owned by the control meaning that the
 177     typed client data (and only it) will be deleted when an item is deleted
 178     using Delete() or the entire control is cleared using Clear(), which also
 179     happens when it is destroyed.
 180
 181     Finally note that in the same control all items must have client data of
 182     the same type (typed or untyped), if any. This type is determined by the
 183     first call to Append() (the version with client data pointer) or
 184     SetClientData().
 185
 186     Note that this is not a control, it's a mixin interface that classes
 187     have to derive from in addition to wxControl or wxWindow. Convenience
 188     class wxControlWithItems is provided for this purpose.
