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.

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