wxVListBox is a listbox-like control with the following two main differences
from a regular listbox: it can have an arbitrarily huge number of items because
-it doesn't store them itself but uses \helpref{OnDrawItem()}{wxvlistboxondrawitem}

However it emits the same events as \helpref{wxListBox}{wxlistbox} and the same
-event macros may be used with it.

+event macros may be used with it. Since wxVListBox does not store its items

+string of an item.
