+A list control presents lists in a number of formats: list view, report view,
+icon view and small icon view. In any case, elements are numbered from zero.
+For all these modes, the items are stored in the control and must be added to
+it using \helpref{InsertItem}{wxlistctrlinsertitem} method.
+
+A special case of report view quite different from the other modes of the list
+control is a virtual control in which the items data (including text, images
+and attributes) is managed by the main program and is requested by the control
+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
+\helpref{SetItemCount}{wxlistctrlsetitemcount} first and overload at least
+\helpref{OnGetItemText}{wxlistctrlongetitemtext} (and optionally
+\helpref{OnGetItemImage}{wxlistctrlongetitemimage} or \helpref{OnGetItemColumnImage}{wxlistctrlongetitemcolumnimage} and
+\helpref{OnGetItemAttr}{wxlistctrlongetitemattr}) 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. 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}.
+
+To intercept events from a list control, use the event table macros described
+in \helpref{wxListEvent}{wxlistevent}.
+
+{\bf Mac Note:} Starting with 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 the
+mac.listctrl.always\_use\_generic \helpref{wxSystemOption}{wxsystemoptions} to
+1.
