\helpref{wxScrolledWindow}{wxscrolledwindow} class which can be only used when
all lines have the same height. It lacks some other wxScrolledWindow features
however, notably there is currently no support for horizontal scrolling; it
can't scroll another window nor only a rectangle of the window and not its
entire client area.

+\membersection{wxVScrolledWindow::EstimateTotalHeight}\label{wxvscrolledwindowestimatetotalheight}
+
+\constfunc{virtual wxCoord}{EstimateTotalHeight}{\void}
+
+This protected function is used internally by wxVScrolledWindow to estimate the
+total height of the window when \helpref{SetLineCount}{wxvscrolledwindowsetlinecount}
+is called. The default implementation uses the brute force approach if the
+number of the items in the control is small enough. Otherwise, it tries to find
+the average line height using some lines in the beginning, middle and the end.
+
+If it is undesirable to access all these lines (some of which might be never
+shown) just for the total height calculation, you may override the function and
+provide your own guess better and/or faster.
+
+Note that although returning a totally wrong value would still work, it risks
+to result in very strange scrollbar behaviour so this function should really
+try to make the best guess possible.

\membersection{wxVScrolledWindow::GetFirstVisibleLine}\label{wxvscrolledwindowgetfirstvisibleline}
\constfunc{size\_t}{GetFirstVisibleLine}{\void}
Returns the index of the first currently visible line.
+This is same as \helpref{GetVisibleBegin}{wxvscrolledwindowgetvisiblebegin} and
+exists only for symmetry with \helpref{GetLastVisibleLine}{wxvscrolledwindowgetlastvisibleline}.

+Returns the index of the last currently visible line. Note that this method
+returns \texttt{(size\_t)-1} (i.e. a huge positive number) if the control is

+instead.

+
+Returns the index of the first line after the currently visible one. If the
+return value is $0$ it means that no lines are currently shown (which only
+happens if the control is empty). Note that the index returned by this method
+is not always a valid index as it may be equal to \helpref{GetLineCount}{wxvscrolledwindowgetlinecount}.

-\constfunc{wxCoord}{OnGetLineHeight}{\param{size\_t }{n}}
+\constfunc{virtual wxCoord}{OnGetLineHeight}{\param{size\_t }{n}}
This protected virtual function must be overridden in the derived class and it
should return the height of the given line in pixels.

This function doesn't have to be overridden but it may be useful to do
it if calculating the lines heights is a relatively expensive operation
as it gives the user code a possibility to calculate several of them at
once.

as usual.

+returned by \helpref{OnGetLineHeight}{wxvscrolledwindowongetlineheight} change
+for some reason and the window must be updated to reflect this.
