+You need to override \helpref{GetRowCount}{wxdataviewlistmodelgetrowcount},
+\helpref{GetColumnCount}{wxdataviewlistmodelgetcolumncount},
+\helpref{GetColumnType}{wxdataviewlistmodelgetcolumntype} and
+\helpref{GetValue}{wxdataviewlistmodelgetvalue} in order to
+define the data model (which acts as an interface between
+your actual data and the wxDataViewCtrl). Since you will
+usually also allow the wxDataViewCtrl to change your data
+through its graphical interface, you will also have to override
+\helpref{SetValue}{wxdataviewlistmodelsetvalue} which the
+wxDataViewCtrl will call when a change to some data has been
+commited.
+
+The data that is presented through this data model is expected
+to change at run-time. You need to inform the data model that
+a change happens. Depending on what happened you need to call
+one of the following methods:
+\helpref{ValueChanged}{wxdataviewlistmodelvaluechanged},
+\helpref{RowChanged}{wxdataviewlistmodelrowchanged},
+\helpref{RowAppended}{wxdataviewlistmodelrowappended},
+\helpref{RowPrepended}{wxdataviewlistmodelrowprepended},
+\helpref{RowInserted}{wxdataviewlistmodelrowinserted},
+\helpref{RowDeleted}{wxdataviewlistmodelrowdeleted},
+\helpref{RowsReordered}{wxdataviewlistmodelrowsreordered} or
+\helpref{RowsCleared}{wxdataviewlistmodelcleared}.
+
+
+
+wxDataViewModel and this class (as indeed the entire wxDataViewCtrl
+code) is using \helpref{wxVariant}{wxvariant} to store data and
+its type in a generic way. wxVariant can be extended to contain
+almost any data without changes to the original class.
