At first sight, the HTML List control behaves like an ordinary ListBox control. It has a Similar API. The main difference is that it is really a Web Browser window presenting the list items. Clicks and mouse events are generated by Internet Explorer and some DHTML scripting. Events are then sent back to the C++ class and back to the application code as WM_NOTIFY messages. The application can manipulate the list items, but must use the MS IE HTML Interfaces, such as the IHTMLElement interface, or have DHTML scripts on the HTML page execute the changes.
This is not a lightweight control! Of course you will carry the burden of loading MS Internet Explorer into your application. It's a horrible waste of resources just to get a list control running... but the result looks nice
