  11
  12     A listbox is used to select one or more of a list of strings. The
  13     strings are displayed in a scrolling box, with the selected string(s)
  14     marked in reverse video. A listbox can be single selection (if an item
  15     is selected, the previous selection is removed) or multiple selection
  16     (clicking an item toggles the item on or off independently of other
  17     selections).
  18
  19     List box elements are numbered from zero. Their number may be limited
  20     under some platforms.
  21
  22     A listbox callback gets an event wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_SELECTED for
  23     single clicks, and wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_DOUBLECLICKED for double clicks.
  24
  25     @beginStyleTable
  26     @style{wxLB_SINGLE}
  27            Single-selection list.
  28     @style{wxLB_MULTIPLE}
  29            Multiple-selection list: the user can toggle multiple items on and
  30            off. This is the same as wxLB_EXTENDED in wxGTK2 port.
  31     @style{wxLB_EXTENDED}
  32            Extended-selection list: the user can extend the selection by using
  33            @c SHIFT or @c CTRL keys together with the cursor movement keys or
  34            the mouse.
  35     @style{wxLB_HSCROLL}
  36            Create horizontal scrollbar if contents are too wide (Windows only).
  37     @style{wxLB_ALWAYS_SB}
  38            Always show a vertical scrollbar.
  39     @style{wxLB_NEEDED_SB}
  40            Only create a vertical scrollbar if needed.
  41     @style{wxLB_SORT}
  42            The listbox contents are sorted in alphabetical order.
  43     @endStyleTable
  44
  45     @beginEventTable{wxCommandEvent}
  46     @event{EVT_LISTBOX(id, func)}
  47            Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_SELECTED event, when an item on the
  48            list is selected or the selection changes.
  49     @event{EVT_LISTBOX_DCLICK(id, func)}
  50            Process a wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOXDOUBLECLICKED event, when the
  51            listbox is double-clicked.
