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

142 /**
143 @class wxSimpleHtmlListBox
144
145 wxSimpleHtmlListBox is an implementation of wxHtmlListBox which
146 shows HTML content in the listbox rows.
147
148 Unlike wxHtmlListBox, this is not an abstract class and thus it has the
149 advantage that you can use it without deriving your own class from it.
150 However, it also has the disadvantage that this is not a virtual control and
151 thus it's not well-suited for those cases where you need to show a huge number
152 of items: every time you add/insert a string, it will be stored internally
153 and thus will take memory.
154
155 The interface exposed by wxSimpleHtmlListBox fully implements the
156 wxControlWithItems interface, thus you should refer to wxControlWithItems's
157 documentation for the API reference for adding/removing/retrieving items in
158 the listbox. Also note that the wxVListBox::SetItemCount function is
159 @c protected in wxSimpleHtmlListBox's context so that you cannot call it
160 directly, wxSimpleHtmlListBox will do it for you.
161
162 Note: in case you need to append a lot of items to the control at once, make
163 sure to use the
164 @ref wxControlWithItems::Append "Append(const wxArrayString&)" function.
165
166 Thus the only difference between a wxListBox and a wxSimpleHtmlListBox
167 is that the latter stores strings which can contain HTML fragments (see the
168 list of @ref overview_html_supptags "tags supported by wxHTML").
169
170 Note that the HTML strings you fetch to wxSimpleHtmlListBox should not contain
171 the @c \<html\> or @c \<body\> tags.
172
173 @beginStyleTable
174 @style{wxHLB_DEFAULT_STYLE}

187 @event{EVT_LISTBOX_DCLICK(id, func)}
188 Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_DOUBLECLICKED event, when the listbox is
189 double-clicked. See wxCommandEvent.
190 @event{EVT_HTML_CELL_CLICKED(id, func)}
191 A wxHtmlCell was clicked. See wxHtmlCellEvent.
