+about the items when the control requests it. Virtual list control can be used
+as a normal one except that no operations which can take time proportional to
+the number of items in the control happen -- this is required to allow having a
+practically infinite number of items. For example, in a multiple selection
+virtual list control, the selections won't be sent when many items are selected
+at once because this could mean iterating over all the items.
Using many of wxListCtrl features is shown in the
\helpref{corresponding sample}{samplelistctrl}.

\membersection{wxListCtrl::SetBackgroundColour}\label{wxlistctrlsetbackgroundcolour}
This method can only be used with virtual list controls. It is used to indicate
to the control the number of items it contains. After calling it, the main
program should be ready to handle calls to various item callbacks (such as
-\helpref{OnGetItemText}{wxlistctrlongetitemtext}) for all vitems in the range
+\helpref{OnGetItemText}{wxlistctrlongetitemtext}) for all items in the range
from $0$ to {\it count}.
