+ wxListCtrl with @c wxLC_VIRTUAL style, once more than a few hundreds items
+ need to be displayed because this control is not optimized, neither from
+ performance nor from user interface point of view, for large number of
+ items.
+
+ Notice that currently @c TAB characters in list box items text are not
+ handled consistently under all platforms, so they should be replaced by
+ spaces to display strings properly everywhere. The list box doesn't
+ support any other control characters at all.
