    wxHtmlListBox is an implementation of wxVListBox which
    shows HTML content in the listbox rows. This is still an abstract base class
    and you will need to derive your own class from it (see htlbox sample for the
    example) but you will only need to override a single
    wxHtmlListBox::OnGetItem function.

/**
    @class wxSimpleHtmlListBox
    @wxheader{htmllbox.h}

    wxSimpleHtmlListBox is an implementation of wxHtmlListBox which
    shows HTML content in the listbox rows.

    Unlike wxHtmlListBox, this is not an abstract class and thus it
    has the advantage that you can use it without deriving your own class from it.
    However, it also has the disadvantage that this is not a virtual control and
    thus it's not
    well-suited for those cases where you need to show a huge number of items:
    every time you
    add/insert a string, it will be stored internally and thus will take memory.

    The interface exposed by wxSimpleHtmlListBox fully implements the
    wxControlWithItems interface, thus you should refer to
    wxControlWithItems's documentation for the API reference
    for adding/removing/retrieving items in the listbox.
    Also note that the wxVListBox::SetItemCount function is
    @c protected in wxSimpleHtmlListBox's context so that you cannot call it
    directly,
    wxSimpleHtmlListBox will do it for you.

    Note: in case you need to append a lot of items to the control at once, make
    sure to use the
    @ref wxControlWithItems::append "Append(const wxArrayString )" function.

    Thus the only difference between a wxListBox and a wxSimpleHtmlListBox
    is that the latter stores strings which can contain HTML fragments (see the
    list of
    @ref overview_htmltagssupported "tags supported by wxHTML").

    Note that the HTML strings you fetch to wxSimpleHtmlListBox should not contain
    the @c html
    or @c body tags.
