wx.ListView

This class currently simply presents a simpler to use interface for the wx.ListCtrl – it can be thought of as a façade for that complicated class.

Using it is preferable to using wx.ListCtrl directly whenever possible because in the future some ports might implement wx.ListView but not the full set of wx.ListCtrl features.

Other than different interface, this class is identical to wx.ListCtrl. In particular, it uses the same events, same window styles and so on.

Select(self, n, on=True)
