wx.VListBox and wx.HtmlListBox


The "V" in wxVListBox stands for both "virtual" because it can have an unlimited number of items since it doesn't store them itself, and "variable" since items can vary in height. It has much the same interface as wxListBox and also emits the same events so you can use the same EVT_LISTBOX function to connect a handler.

The wx.HtmlListBox derives from wx.VListBox, but draws each item itself as a wx.HtmlCell. This means that you just need to provide a snippet of HTML for each item when requested. """ if __name__ == '__main__': import sys,os import run run.main(['', os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])] + sys.argv[1:])
