itself only when needed which allows to have controls with millions of items
without consuming much memory. To use virtual list control you must use
- wxListCtrl::SetItemCount first and overload at least wxListCtrl::OnGetItemText
+ wxListCtrl::SetItemCount first and override at least wxListCtrl::OnGetItemText
(and optionally wxListCtrl::OnGetItemImage or wxListCtrl::OnGetItemColumnImage and
wxListCtrl::OnGetItemAttr) to return the information 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.
<b>wxMac Note</b>: Starting with wxWidgets 2.8, wxListCtrl uses a native
implementation for report mode, and uses a generic implementation for other
modes. You can use the generic implementation for report mode as well by setting
