  10     @class wxListBox
  11
  12     A listbox is used to select one or more of a list of strings.
  13
  14     The strings are displayed in a scrolling box, with the selected string(s)
  15     marked in reverse video. A listbox can be single selection (if an item is
  16     selected, the previous selection is removed) or multiple selection
  17     (clicking an item toggles the item on or off independently of other
  18     selections).
  19
  20     List box elements are numbered from zero.
  21     Their number may be limited under some platforms.
  22
  23     A listbox callback gets an event @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_SELECTED for
  24     single clicks, and @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_DOUBLECLICKED for double clicks.
  25
  26     @beginStyleTable
  27     @style{wxLB_SINGLE}
  28         Single-selection list.
  29     @style{wxLB_MULTIPLE}
  30         Multiple-selection list: the user can toggle multiple items on and off.
  31         This is the same as wxLB_EXTENDED in wxGTK2 port.
  32     @style{wxLB_EXTENDED}
  33         Extended-selection list: the user can extend the selection by using
  34         @c SHIFT or @c CTRL keys together with the cursor movement keys or
  35         the mouse.
  36     @style{wxLB_HSCROLL}
  37         Create horizontal scrollbar if contents are too wide (Windows only).
  38     @style{wxLB_ALWAYS_SB}
  39         Always show a vertical scrollbar.
  40     @style{wxLB_NEEDED_SB}
  41         Only create a vertical scrollbar if needed.
  42     @style{wxLB_NO_SB}
  43         Don't create vertical scrollbar (wxMSW only).
  44     @style{wxLB_SORT}
  45         The listbox contents are sorted in alphabetical order.
  46     @endStyleTable
  47
  48     Note that @c wxLB_SINGLE, @c wxLB_MULTIPLE and @c wxLB_EXTENDED styles are
  49     mutually exclusive and you can specify at most one of them (single selection
  50     is the default). See also @ref overview_windowstyles.
  51
  52     @beginEventEmissionTable{wxCommandEvent}
  53     @event{EVT_LISTBOX(id, func)}
  54         Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_SELECTED event, when an item on the
  55         list is selected or the selection changes.
  56     @event{EVT_LISTBOX_DCLICK(id, func)}
  57         Process a @c wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_DOUBLECLICKED event, when the listbox
  58         is double-clicked.
  59     @endEventTable
