DESCRIPTION
       The QListBox widget provides a list of selectable, read-only items.

       This is typically a single-column list in which either no item or one
       item is selected, but it can also be used in many other ways.

       QListBox will add scroll bars as necessary, but it isn't intended for
       really big lists. If you want more than a few thousand items, it's
       probably better to use a different widget mainly because the scroll
       bars won't provide very good navigation, but also because QListBox may
       become slow with huge lists. (See QListView and QTable for possible
       alternatives.)

       There are a variety of selection modes described in the
       QListBox::SelectionMode documentation. The default is Single selection
       mode, but you can change it using setSelectionMode().
       (setMultiSelection() is still provided for compatibility with Qt 1.x.
       We recommend using setSelectionMode() in all code.)

       Because QListBox offers multiple selection it must display keyboard
       focus and selection state separately. Therefore there are functions
       both to set the selection state of an item, i.e. setSelected(), and to
       set which item displays keyboard focus, i.e. setCurrentItem().

       The list box normally arranges its items in a single column and adds a
       vertical scroll bar if required. It is possible to have a different
       fixed number of columns (setColumnMode()), or as many columns as will
       fit in the list box's assigned screen space
       (setColumnMode(FitToWidth)), or to have a fixed number of rows
       (setRowMode()) or as many rows as will fit in the list box's assigned
       screen space (setRowMode(FitToHeight)). In all these cases QListBox
       will add scroll bars, as appropriate, in at least one direction.

       If multiple rows are used, each row can be as high as necessary (the
       normal setting), or you can request that all items will have the same
       height by calling setVariableHeight(FALSE). The same applies to a
       column's width, see setVariableWidth().

       The QListBox's items are QListBoxItem objects. QListBox provides
       methods to insert new items as strings, as pixmaps, and as QListBoxItem
       * (insertItem() with various arguments), and to replace an existing
       item with a new string, pixmap or QListBoxItem (changeItem() with
       various arguments). You can also remove items singly with removeItem()
       or clear() the entire list box. Note that if you create a QListBoxItem
       yourself and insert it, QListBox takes ownership of the item.

       You can also create a QListBoxItem, such as QListBoxText or
       QListBoxPixmap, with the list box as first parameter. The item will
       then append itself. When you delete an item it is automatically removed
       from the list box.

       The list of items can be arbitrarily large; QListBox will add scroll
       bars if necessary. QListBox can display a single-column (the common
       case) or multiple-columns, and offers both single and multiple
       selection. QListBox does not support multiple-column items (but
       QListView and QTable do), or tree hierarchies (but QListView does).

       The list box items can be accessed both as QListBoxItem objects
       (recommended) and using integer indexes (the original QListBox
       implementation used an array of strings internally, and the API still
       supports this mode of operation). Everything can be done using the new
       objects, and most things can be done using indexes.

       Each item in a QListBox contains a QListBoxItem. One of the items can
       be the current item. The currentChanged() signal and the highlighted()
       signal are emitted when a new item becomes current, e.g. because the
       user clicks on it or QListBox::setCurrentItem() is called. The
       selected() signal is emitted when the user double-clicks on an item or
       presses Enter on the current item.

       If the user does not select anything, no signals are emitted and
       currentItem() returns -1.

       A list box has WheelFocus as a default focusPolicy(), i.e. it can get
       keyboard focus by tabbing, clicking and through the use of the mouse
       wheel.

       New items can be inserted using insertItem(), insertStrList() or
       insertStringList(). inSort() is obsolete because this method is quite
       inefficient. It's preferable to insert the items normally and call
       sort() afterwards, or to insert a sorted QStringList().

       By default, vertical and horizontal scroll bars are added and removed
       as necessary. setHScrollBarMode() and setVScrollBarMode() can be used
       to change this policy.

       If you need to insert types other than strings and pixmaps, you must
       define new classes which inherit QListBoxItem.

       Warning: The list box assumes ownership of all list box items and will
       delete them when it does not need them any more.

   Member Type Documentation
QListBox::LayoutMode
       This enum type is used to specify how QListBox lays out its rows and
       columns.

       QListBox::FixedNumber - There is a fixed number of rows (or columns).

       QListBox::FitToWidth - There are as many columns as will fit on-screen.

       QListBox::FitToHeight - There are as many rows as will fit on-screen.

       QListBox::Variable - There are as many rows as are required by the
       column mode. (Or as many columns as required by the row mode.)

       Example: When you call setRowMode( FitToHeight ), columnMode()
       automatically becomes Variable to accommodate the row mode you've set.

QListBox::SelectionMode
       This enumerated type is used by QListBox to indicate how it reacts to
       selection by the user.

       QListBox::Single - When the user selects an item, any already-selected
       item becomes unselected and the user cannot unselect the selected item.
       This means that the user can never clear the selection, even though the
       selection may be cleared by the application programmer using
       QListBox::clearSelection().

       QListBox::Multi - When the user selects an item the selection status of
       that item is toggled and the other items are left alone. Also, multiple
       items can be selected by dragging the mouse while the left mouse button
       is kept pressed.

       QListBox::Extended - When the user selects an item the selection is
       cleared and the new item selected. However, if the user presses the
       Ctrl key when clicking on an item, the clicked item gets toggled and
       all other items are left untouched. And if the user presses the Shift
       key while clicking on an item, all items between the current item and
       the clicked item get selected or unselected, depending on the state of
       the clicked item. Also, multiple items can be selected by dragging the
       mouse while the left mouse button is kept pressed.

       QListBox::NoSelection - Items cannot be selected.

       In other words, Single is a real single-selection list box, Multi is a
       real multi-selection list box, Extended is a list box in which users
       can select multiple items but usually want to select either just one or
       a range of contiguous items, and NoSelection is for a list box where
       the user can look but not touch.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
QListBox::QListBox ( QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0, WFlags f = 0
       )
       Constructs a new empty list box called name and with parent parent.

       Performance is boosted by modifying the widget flags f so that only
       part of the QListBoxItem children is redrawn. This may be unsuitable
       for custom QListBoxItem classes, in which case WStaticContents and
       WNoAutoErase should be cleared immediately after construction.

       See also QWidget::clearWFlags() and Qt::WidgetFlags.

QListBox::~QListBox ()
       Destroys the list box. Deletes all list box items.

bool QListBox::autoBottomScrollBar () const
       This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       Returns TRUE if hScrollBarMode() is Auto; otherwise returns FALSE.

       This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       Returns TRUE if vScrollBarMode() is Auto; otherwise returns FALSE.

bool QListBox::bottomScrollBar () const
       This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       Returns FALSE if vScrollBarMode() is AlwaysOff; otherwise returns TRUE.

       This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       Returns the item height of item i.

       See also itemHeight().

int QListBox::cellHeight () const
       This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       behaves essentially like the above function.

       Returns the item height of the first item, item 0.

       See also itemHeight().

int QListBox::cellWidth () const
       This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       Returns the maximum item width.

       See also maxItemWidth().

void QListBox::centerCurrentItem ()
       This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       This function does exactly the same as ensureCurrentVisible()

       See also QListBox::ensureCurrentVisible().

void QListBox::changeItem ( const QListBoxItem * lbi, int index )
       Replaces the item at position index with lbi. If index is negative or
       too large, changeItem() does nothing.

       The item that has been changed will become selected.

       See also insertItem() and removeItem().

void QListBox::changeItem ( const QString & text, int index )
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       behaves essentially like the above function.

       Replaces the item at position index with a new list box text item with
       text text.

       The operation is ignored if index is out of range.

       See also insertItem() and removeItem().

void QListBox::changeItem ( const QPixmap & pixmap, int index )
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       behaves essentially like the above function.

       Replaces the item at position index with a new list box pixmap item
       with pixmap pixmap.

       The operation is ignored if index is out of range.

       See also insertItem() and removeItem().

void QListBox::changeItem ( const QPixmap & pixmap, const QString & text, int
       index )
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       behaves essentially like the above function.

       Replaces the item at position index with a new list box pixmap item
       with pixmap pixmap and text text.

       The operation is ignored if index is out of range.

       See also insertItem() and removeItem().

void QListBox::clear () [slot]
       Deletes all the items in the list.

       See also removeItem().

void QListBox::clearSelection () [virtual slot]
       Deselects all items, if possible.

       Note that a Single selection list box will automatically select an item
       if it has keyboard focus.

       Example: listbox/listbox.cpp.

void QListBox::clicked ( QListBoxItem * item ) [signal]
       This signal is emitted when the user clicks any mouse button. If item
       is not 0, the cursor is on item. If item is 0, the mouse cursor isn't
       on any item.

       Note that you must not delete any QListBoxItem objects in slots
       connected to this signal.

void QListBox::clicked ( QListBoxItem * item, const QPoint & pnt ) [signal]
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       behaves essentially like the above function.

       This signal is emitted when the user clicks any mouse button. If item
       is not 0, the cursor is on item. If item is 0, the mouse cursor isn't
       on any item.

       pnt is the position of the mouse cursor in the global coordinate system
       (QMouseEvent::globalPos()). (If the click's press and release differs
       by a pixel or two, pnt is the position at release time.)

       Note that you must not delete any QListBoxItem objects in slots
       connected to this signal.

LayoutMode QListBox::columnMode () const
       Returns the column layout mode for this list box. See the "columnMode"
       property for details.

void QListBox::contextMenuRequested ( QListBoxItem * item, const QPoint & pos
       ) [signal]
       This signal is emitted when the user invokes a context menu with the
       right mouse button or with special system keys, with item being the
       item under the mouse cursor or the current item, respectively.

       pos is the position for the context menu in the global coordinate
       system.

uint QListBox::count () const
       Returns the number of items in the list box. See the "count" property
       for details.

void QListBox::currentChanged ( QListBoxItem * item ) [signal]
       This signal is emitted when the user makes a new item the current item.
       item is the new current list box item.

       See also currentItem and currentItem.

int QListBox::currentItem () const
       Returns the current highlighted item. See the "currentItem" property
       for details.

QString QListBox::currentText () const
       Returns the text of the current item. See the "currentText" property
       for details.

void QListBox::doLayout () const [protected]
       This function does the hard layout work. You should never need to call
       it.

void QListBox::doubleClicked ( QListBoxItem * item ) [signal]
       This signal is emitted whenever an item is double-clicked. It's emitted
       on the second button press, not the second button release. If item is
       not 0, the cursor is on item. If item is 0, the mouse cursor isn't on
       any item.

void QListBox::ensureCurrentVisible () [virtual slot]
       Ensures that the current item is visible.

QListBoxItem * QListBox::findItem ( const QString & text, ComparisonFlags
       compare = BeginsWith ) const
       Finds the first list box item that has the text text and returns it, or
       returns 0 of no such item could be found. The search starts from the
       current item if the current item exists, otherwise it starts from the
       first list box item. If ComparisonFlags are specified in compare then
       these flags are used, otherwise the default is a case-insensitive,
       "begins with" search.

       See also Qt::StringComparisonMode.

int QListBox::findItem ( int yPos ) const [protected]
       This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       Returns the index of the item a point (0, yPos).

       See also index() and itemAt().

QListBoxItem * QListBox::firstItem () const
       Returns the first item in this list box. If the list box is empty,
       returns 0.

void QListBox::highlighted ( int index ) [signal]
       This signal is emitted when the user makes a new item the current item.
       index is the index of the new current item.

       See also currentChanged(), selected(), currentItem, and
       selectionChanged().

void QListBox::highlighted ( const QString & ) [signal]
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       behaves essentially like the above function.

       This signal is emitted when the user makes a new item the current item
       and the item is (or has) a string. The argument is the text of the new
       current item.

       See also currentChanged(), selected(), currentItem, and
       selectionChanged().

void QListBox::highlighted ( QListBoxItem * ) [signal]
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       behaves essentially like the above function.

       This signal is emitted when the user makes a new item the current item.
       The argument is a pointer to the new current item.

       See also currentChanged(), selected(), currentItem, and
       selectionChanged().

int QListBox::inSort ( const QListBoxItem * lbi )
       This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       Using this method is quite inefficient. We suggest to use insertItem()
       for inserting and sort() afterwards.

       Inserts lbi at its sorted position in the list box and returns the
       position.

       All items must be inserted with inSort() to maintain the sorting order.
       inSort() treats any pixmap (or user-defined type) as lexicographically
       less than any string.

       See also insertItem() and sort().

int QListBox::inSort ( const QString & text )
       This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       behaves essentially like the above function.

       Using this method is quite inefficient. We suggest to use insertItem()
       for inserting and sort() afterwards.

       Inserts a new item of text at its sorted position in the list box and
       returns the position.

       All items must be inserted with inSort() to maintain the sorting order.
       inSort() treats any pixmap (or user-defined type) as lexicographically
       less than any string.

       See also insertItem() and sort().

int QListBox::index ( const QListBoxItem * lbi ) const
       Returns the index of lbi, or -1 if the item is not in this list box or
       lbi is 0.

       See also item().

void QListBox::insertItem ( const QListBoxItem * lbi, int index = -1 )
       Inserts the item lbi into the list at position index.

       If index is negative or larger than the number of items in the list
       box, lbi is inserted at the end of the list.

       See also insertStrList().

       Examples:

void QListBox::insertItem ( const QListBoxItem * lbi, const QListBoxItem *
       after )
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       behaves essentially like the above function.

   Property Documentation
LayoutMode columnMode
       This property holds the column layout mode for this list box.

       setColumnMode() sets the layout mode and adjusts the number of
       displayed columns. The row layout mode automatically becomes Variable,
       unless the column mode is Variable.

       See also rowMode, rowMode, and numColumns.

       Set this property's value with setColumnMode() and get this property's
       value with columnMode().

uint count
       This property holds the number of items in the list box.

       Get this property's value with count().

int currentItem
       This property holds the current highlighted item.

       When setting this property, the highlighting is moved to the item and
       the list box scrolled as necessary.

       If no item is current, currentItem() returns -1.

       Set this property's value with setCurrentItem() and get this property's
       value with currentItem().

QString currentText
       This property holds the text of the current item.

       Get this property's value with currentText().

bool multiSelection
       This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       This property holds whether or not the list box is in Multi selection
       mode.

       Consider using the QListBox::selectionMode property instead of this
       property.

       When setting this property, Multi selection mode is used if set to TRUE
       and to Single selection mode if set to FALSE.

       When getting this property, TRUE is returned if the list box is in
       Multi selection mode or Extended selection mode, and FALSE if it is in
       Single selection mode or NoSelection mode.

       See also selectionMode.

       Set this property's value with setMultiSelection() and get this
       property's value with isMultiSelection().

int numColumns
       This property holds the number of columns in the list box.

       This is normally 1, but can be different if QListBox::columnMode or
       QListBox::rowMode has been set.

       See also columnMode, rowMode, and numRows.

       Get this property's value with numColumns().

int numItemsVisible
       This property holds the number of visible items.

       Both partially and entirely visible items are counted.

       Get this property's value with numItemsVisible().

int numRows

       This is equal to the number of items in the default single-column
       layout, but can be different.

       See also columnMode, rowMode, and numColumns.

       Get this property's value with numRows().

LayoutMode rowMode
       This property holds the row layout mode for this list box.

       This property is normally Variable.

       setRowMode() sets the layout mode and adjusts the number of displayed
       rows. The column layout mode automatically becomes Variable, unless the
       row mode is Variable.

       See also columnMode.

       Set this property's value with setRowMode() and get this property's
       value with rowMode().

SelectionMode selectionMode
       This property holds the selection mode of the list box.

       Sets the list box's selection mode, which may be one of Single (the
       default), Extended, Multi or NoSelection.

       See also SelectionMode.

       Set this property's value with setSelectionMode() and get this
       property's value with selectionMode().

int topItem
       This property holds the index of an item at the top of the screen.

       When getting this property and the listbox has multiple columns, an
       arbitrary item is selected and returned.

       When setting this property, the list box is scrolled so the item at
       position index in the list is displayed in the top row of the list box.

       Set this property's value with setTopItem() and get this property's
       value with topItem().

bool variableHeight
       This property holds whether this list box has variable-height rows.

       When the list box has variable-height rows (the default), each row is
       as high as the highest item in that row. When it has same-sized rows,
       all rows are as high as the highest item in the list box.

       See also variableWidth.

       Set this property's value with setVariableHeight() and get this
       property's value with variableHeight().

bool variableWidth
       This property holds whether this list box has variable-width columns.

       When the list box has variable-width columns, each column is as wide as
       the widest item in that column. When it has same-sized columns (the
       default), all columns are as wide as the widest item in the list box.

       See also variableHeight.

       Set this property's value with setVariableWidth() and get this
       property's value with variableWidth().
