-    @class wxControlWithItems

     @wxheader{ctrlsub.h}
 
     @wxheader{ctrlsub.h}
 

-    This class is an abstract base class for some wxWidgets controls which contain
-    several items, such as wxListBox and
-    wxCheckListBox derived from it,
-    wxChoice and wxComboBox.
+    wxItemContainer defines an interface which is implemented by all controls
+    which have string subitems each of which may be selected.

 
 

-    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.
+    It is decomposed in wxItemContainerImmutable which omits all methods
+    adding/removing items and is used by wxRadioBox and wxItemContainer itself.

 
 

-    The items in a wxControlWithItems have (non-empty) string labels and,
-    optionally, client data associated with them. Client data may be of two
-    different kinds: either simple untyped (@c void *) pointers which are simply
-    stored by the control but not used in any way by it, or typed pointers
-    (@c wxClientData *) which are owned by the control meaning that the typed
-    client data (and only it) will be deleted when an item is
-    @ref wxControlWithItems::delete deleted or the entire control is
-    @ref wxControlWithItems::clear cleared (which also happens when it is
-    destroyed). Finally note that in the same control all items must have client
-    data of the same type (typed or untyped), if any. This type is determined by
-    the first call to wxControlWithItems::Append (the version with
-    client data pointer) or wxControlWithItems::SetClientData.
+    Note that this is not a control, it's a mixin interface that classes
+    have to derive from in addition to wxControl or wxWindow.
+
+    Examples: wxListBox, wxCheckListBox, wxChoice and wxComboBox (which
+    implements an extended interface deriving from this one)
