22 In the name of this class, "V" may stand for "variable" because it can be
23 used for scrolling lines of variable heights; "virtual" because it is not
24 necessary to know the heights of all lines in advance -- only those which
25 are shown on the screen need to be measured; or, even, "vertical" because
26 this class only supports scrolling in one direction currently (this could
27 and probably will change in the future however).
29 In any case, this is a generalization of the wxScrolledWindow class which
30 can be only used when all lines have the same height. It lacks some other
31 wxScrolledWindow features however, notably it currently lacks support for
32 horizontal scrolling; it can't scroll another window nor only a rectangle
33 of the window and not its entire client area.
