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

141 /**
142 @class wxSimpleHtmlListBox
143
144 wxSimpleHtmlListBox is an implementation of wxHtmlListBox which
145 shows HTML content in the listbox rows.
146
147 Unlike wxHtmlListBox, this is not an abstract class and thus it has the
148 advantage that you can use it without deriving your own class from it.
149 However, it also has the disadvantage that this is not a virtual control and
150 thus it's not well-suited for those cases where you need to show a huge number
151 of items: every time you add/insert a string, it will be stored internally
152 and thus will take memory.
153
154 The interface exposed by wxSimpleHtmlListBox fully implements the
155 wxControlWithItems interface, thus you should refer to wxControlWithItems's
156 documentation for the API reference for adding/removing/retrieving items in
157 the listbox. Also note that the wxVListBox::SetItemCount function is
158 @c protected in wxSimpleHtmlListBox's context so that you cannot call it
159 directly, wxSimpleHtmlListBox will do it for you.
160
161 Note: in case you need to append a lot of items to the control at once, make
162 sure to use the
163 @ref wxControlWithItems::Append "Append(const wxArrayString&)" function.
164
165 Thus the only difference between a wxListBox and a wxSimpleHtmlListBox
166 is that the latter stores strings which can contain HTML fragments (see the
167 list of @ref overview_html_supptags "tags supported by wxHTML").
168
169 Note that the HTML strings you fetch to wxSimpleHtmlListBox should not contain
170 the @c \<html\> or @c \<body\> tags.
171
172 @beginStyleTable
173 @style{wxHLB_DEFAULT_STYLE}
