+several items, such as \helpref{wxListBox}{wxlistbox} and

\helpref{wxChoice}{wxchoice} and \helpref{wxComboBox}{wxcombobox}.
It defines the methods for accessing the controls items and although each of
the derived classes implements them differently, they still all conform to the
same interface.

optionally, client data associated with them. Client data may be of two
different kinds: either simple untyped ({\tt void *}) pointers which are simply
stored by the control but not used in any way by it, or typed pointers
({\tt wxClientData *}) which are owned by the control meaning that the typed
