+\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.
